Well, Iran is denying they did it. There are a plethora of reasons how it could have happened. Maybe some drones diverted due to intense jamming we see all over the region? Maybe a sabotage attempt from the usual actors?One of the Iranian drones almost hit a elementary school. In the footage one can see children on opposite side of the street from where the drone hits.
It’s only by sheer luck that this did not turn into a tragedy.
So before trying to justify this attack, think what you are justifying.
The other target was a terminal of airport. No military target.
I'm not denying Iran has the capability but I think a lot of people.At 96km wide, Iran has sufficient level of systems that can impose a blockade without a needing a navy. How many ship captains will want to run the risk of being fired at, even if Trump "honours" his insurance requests and there is some USN ship as an escort. The commercial world is quite risk adverse in general.
This is footage from June 13 2025. Israel is not allowing journalists to show any activity over Tel Aviv this time around.Correct me, but this looks like the israeli defence ministry?

I here seem to be under the impression that the USN is some minnow. Frankly some of the claims are downright comical.
Who attacked Cyprus, Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan is the mystery right now. Could be Iran just lashing out uncontrollably or it could be Israelis/Americans trying to drag others into this war.so who attacked the UK base in Cyprus?
No one in their right mind can assume USN as anything less than a behemoth.I'm not denying Iran has the capability but I think a lot of people.

Sinking ships is a double-edged sword. Most countries do not want a global recession and would not want passage through the Straits of Hormuz to be more permanently impaired. If Iran starts sinking ships, it will turn countries that are still relatively on the fence against it.
Afghanistan has taught us long term empires will be eaten alive there and will be forced to leaveNo one in their right mind can assume USN as anything less than a behemoth.
But geography cannot be changed. 96km width is nothing even for cheap COTS made drone these days. Drones are inherently harder to defeat due to low RCS and expensive C-UAS systems.
A swarm of drones and missiles will very well smoke a USN escort. They are extremely strong but not invincible, especially to such asymmetric tactics.
