IRGC says ships coordinating travel will be ‘safe and sound’ in Hormuz strait​

Sardar Mohebbi, a spokesman for Iran’s IRGC, has said that any vessels violating “the management process of the Strait of Hormuz” imposed by Tehran “will be forcefully stopped”, Al Jazeera reports.

“There has been no change in the management process of the Strait of Hormuz. Any maritime movement of civilian and commercial vessels that complies with the transit protocols issued by the IRGC Navy and takes place through the specified route in coordination will be safe and sound,” he said in a statement carried by Fars news agency.

“Other maritime movements that are contrary to the principles announced by the IRGC Navy will face serious risks. Violating vessels will be forcefully stopped,” he added.

“It is essential that all shipping companies and transport insurance companies pay attention to the IRGC’s announcements,” Mohebbi was quoted as saying.

2 missiles hit US warship near Hormuz after 'ignoring IRGC warnings': Iranian media​

Iran’s Fars news agency, citing local sources, reports that two missiles have hit a US frigate near Jask island after it ignored warnings from the IRGC and disregarded “security protocols” for transit in the Strait of Hormuz.

“According to these sources, the American frigate has been prevented from continuing its course due to these strikes and has been forced to retreat and flee the area,” Fars claimed.

It added that there were no further details at the moment about any damages or any casualties.

...(continue)... The US patrol boat was moving near Jask Island violating security and navigation rules intending to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Navy issued warnings which the boat ignored, thus got targeted by a missile attack.

As of the time of this report, no further details about the extent of damages or possible casualties have been released.

It would be a real problem for Iran, if missiles targeted and missed a warship(or were successfully countered), as that negates the value of military deterrence based on military capability and opens the window for Trump to think he can get away with a military confrontation to open the straits if he thinks Iran's capabilities are not good enough.

Good points, there is no perfect plans. Strait of Hormuz are extremely too thin lines for US warships to pass it through, it can be hit hard or missed either. If missed, it can be hit again again until success. Totally trap.

We seriously need to build this pipeline on warfooting with provision of extending to China via Pakistan land route. Do not dither, hit when iron is hot, its once in a century opportunity for us to get hooked into mutually depending framework, interlocking nations security, which as a side effect relieve us a lot of security related issues we are facing.

Iran has the Trump administration by the balls.

Yes. Nobody else could have done this if Israel never existed. And moreover, if industrialised slaughter of civilians is required for all this "R&D" by a certain chosen nation, then it's worth that cost.

BTW, the Nazis also did lots of "R&D".

Offtopic please

1 - The European Union has a population of 450 million, with the UK it is 520million vs the USA of 343 million.
2 - The European Union has a $23 trillion vs the USA which has $32 trillion.
3 - Russia has a population of 146million with an economy of $2.6 trillion.

I can list all kinds of stats of how Europe's combined military is larger than Russia's etc..

Europe can militarily defend itself against Russia, and does not at any level need the USA. The sooner the USA withdraws from Europe, the better !!!!

EU gdp will be zero without cheap raw materials and energy, without USA financial tricks based in brute force and military blackmail, and with China selling cheaper all the things that it made rich eu: industrial machinery and cars.

USA is going away because it will be nothing of interest for them in a future impoverished eu.
