Norway is a NATO member baw. They sent 500 troops to Afghanistan and have lost 10
Not huge numbers but they stood by us when we were attacked

The tomcat was indeed the best naval air superiority fighter ever - but that day has come and gone...

I LOVE the F-14 but it would get completely powned by our modern arsenal

The Norwegian Maritime Agency said that three explosions were reported on board the Marshall Islands-flagged "Front Altair" oil tanker, which is owned by Bermuda-based Frontline. The company said that a fire broke out after an explosion and that the cause of the blast was unclear.
A second vessel, the Japanese-owned chemical tanker, "Kokura Courageous" was "attacked" twice "with some sort of shell" around 6:00 a.m. local time (10 p.m. ET Wednesday), the ship's co-manager Michio Yuube said.
The first shot hit the tanker above the sea level and the ship caught fire briefly before it was extinguished, he said. Yuube said that the incident happened off the Emirati port of Fujairah, near the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel was carrying a shipment of methanol, he said.

Can't wait to see the brave folks who want to ban plastic straws to save the ocean show up and protest on the doorsteps of the perps of this pollution.

The Japanese government said both tankers were carrying "Japan-related" cargo. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is currently on a visit to Iran. The 44 sailors and crew members of the two ships affected by the incident were rescued by Iran's Navy and are now on the Iranian Island of Jask, according to Iran state-run news agency IRNA, citing Iranian informed sources.

I obviously missed the part where Norway was attacked by Iran, can you please provide a link.
Should be easy for you.
The only info that is out there is a fire occurred on a Marshall Islands vessel owned by a Norwegian company yet you cheese dicks want American men to go die for a foreign companies financial interest, that is just sad.
