Ships are moving through the Strait of Hormuz

Great news.

Let’s keep it flowing.

Skeet skeet!

I've asked this question here at least twice: The only real threat to tankers from Iran is drones. However, the drones can already reach the tankers sitting in port. So what's the risk difference in transiting the strait? You can park an Apache and a DDG out there and problem solved.

We’ll may need to take that island in the strait and set up some missile defenses on it.

If we are underwriting the insurance for these vessels I highly doubt we left any Iranian artillery within range. We will be monitoring the shoreline closely

The drones and anti-ship missiles are the problem. I assume our guys have been bombing the shite out of the every ant-ship missile they can find. It may require ground troops on the Iranian side of the strait to deny them that area to launch attacks at shipping from.

As mentioned, there is nothing that moves, sends off a heat signature, or an electronic pulse that will not be destroyed.

Remember the houthis and their threat to shipping til the US got involved on a limited scale and they suddenly screamed uncle? I can imagine its magnified 20 fold, begging something, or someone to stick their head out of a hole
