US Navy responds to supposed torpedo attack in Gulf of Oman

I remember going through the Strait of Hormuz on the USS Comstock. They came out in about 3 or 4 boats and shadowed us, but they didn't dare fuck with a transport ship with a full company of infantry Marines. Interesting thing, they made sure they kept their machine guns covered with a burlap sack or whatever too.

The USS Boxer has shot down an Iranian drone over the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump confirms.

“The U.S. reserves the right to defend personnel, facilities, interests,” he said.

I'm pretty sure Iran is gonna get put in a corner, do something retarded, and get blowed up. Alienating the US is one thing, they are just helping Trump build his coalition.

Frankly, a short event with Iran would probably help other middle east politics.

I want them to fuck with China now too.

They are getting stupider by the day.

China would be the end of them. China depends on the oil from the straight, they'd quickly join up with us to fuck them up if Iran was stupid enough to grab one of their tankers.

True but this is China.
