At some point we may be faced with the realization that the global impact of the closing of the straight and the possible damage Iran may still unleash on the gulf states is as bad as them obtaining or detonating a nuke.


I don't have a crystal ball on what Iran would do if they had a Nuke.

But I can confidently state it would be worse than the situation at hand.

The attacks have been verified by the British Navy and the Greek Foreign minister.

How did Iran do that? They don't have any ships left because we destroyed everything completely.....right?

Epaminondas definitely seems to be freed and has turned back to the Persian Gulf and moving that direction.

MSC Francesca hasn’t pinged in hours.

Well, they have these



A couple of marines on a ship could probably defend it from one of these, however ships are traversing unarmed. They need to traverse like they have learned from going by Somalia

Which is about as conclusive as “I saw it on the internet”.

Yeah, shots were fired. Were the ships seized by Iran or not? Look at the thread title.

Greece denies Iranian claims of seized vessel

Greece owns one of the ships. They would know

The Epaminondas, managed by Maersk and chartered by Greek shipowner George Youroukos’ Technomar group, came under fire while operating near Iranian waters.

The Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy Ministry, however, said the ship has not been seized and remains stationary off the Iranian coast under the command of its captain.

According to maritime security firm Diaplous, the incident began when a patrol boat from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards approached the vessel without prior radio communication and opened fire. The attack caused limited material damage to the bridge, but no injuries were reported, with all crew members confirmed safe.

And according to vessel finder, the MSC Francesca Panama Flagged ship hasnt moved since March 4th, 6 days after the first airstrikes on Iran

Most large vessels have armed maritime security onboard.

At hand would agree. As I said MAY be faced with worse situation. If Iran still has the ability and was to start hitting desalination plants and major oil infrastructure in the gulf to the point that production ceased long term....the consequences would be devastating.
