Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

US says not involved in redirecting Pakistan-bound LNG tanker

Looks like it's Iran stopping Pakistani Tanker. Now what you suggest Pakistan should do?

Do you even know where Hormuz is?

The tanker was way passed that when it was made to turn around.
And... apparently last I heard it is heading back to Pakistan.

Indeed... there is always the first mover advantage...either narrowly preempt, hunker down for the initial blitz or get the response set and put in place and go live simultaneously.
At the end of the day... it is cogs in the chain that enable the long leg to move and drop. The basing that is still inside the region and under the umbrella shouldn't really have the liberty to engage with impunity.

May be your little mind can now understand that there are things can be sorted out with diplomacy.You were literally running like a headless chicken and parroting a propaganda narrative against Americans when they have directly denied any involvement in this matter.

Seriously, right!

How many other ships have had a rebuttal made?

This is what Iran did to ones not in compliance

Iran strikes tankers under US escort in Hormuz strait as Trump gathers cabinet to discuss war

Energy prices have soared again since fighting between US and Iran resumed two weeks ago as conflict spreads across Middle East

While US has turned around multiple ships and disabled others during the same period. Emphasis on Iranian actions...

If you're looking for a handout or relief thank US for letting this through, for your sake.

I have been telling this forum for DAYS the Strait of Hormuz is LEAKY. Iran’s fake stories of blowing up tankers weren’t being believed in absence of satellite confirmation.

Looks like IRGC had to act to restore SOME fear. But hitting one ship won’t be enough.

Will Trump honor his redline? Or will he let it be crossed like the Iranians routinely do?

Footage shows an Iranian drone strike on the US Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. The base hosts a fighter wing of the Royal Bahraini Air Force as well as US military units. Sheikh Isa serves as a repair and maintenance hub for US aircraft, helicopters, and drones. It is worth noting that the US is also currently carrying out retaliatory strikes against Iran.

CBS is owned by Larry Ellison and son now and is being converted into another Fox News. CNN will soon have the same fate . The only viewer left for the dying cable/broadcast news business is the Boomer right winger.

Iran had two Supreme Leaders that belonged to the wrong periods of time.

When Iran needed a peace seeking SL it got Khomeini who kept an unnecessary war going.

When Iran needed a war and strong defiant supreme leader it got Khamenai who tried to avoid war at all cost and failed to deter the enemy.

In the past Iran was not ready for war.

It was in Iran's best interests to postpone the war as long as possible.

Imagine if war started in 2015. Iran's missile arsenal was small, missiles inaccurate, drone arsenal non existent and China was still a developing country vulnerable to US pressure.

How Iran could respond to US and Israel in 2015 for example?

Khamenei did a good job by postponing the conflict as long as possible and not falling to Israel-US provocations .

Iran won time to improve centrifuge technology, accumulate large arsenal of accurate missiles and drones and develop air defense systems.

It would have been even better if Iran could have another 5 years to improve IR-9 centrifuge technology and increase missile and drone arsenal even further.

When you are fighting a global superpower, better to fight in 2026 than in 2009, 2016 or 2020.

Sun Tzu - "To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill".

The best scenario in Khamenei's mind was winning time until 2035 when Iran is fully equipped for war, nuclear program is unstoppable, while China is a new global superpower that is ready to challenge the US.
