Hmmm. One of my stepsons is on a destroyer that is, or was, traveling through that area.

Last we heard from him a couple of weeks ago, they had received orders to join the blockade.

His ship might have been involved in these intercepts.

The media blows my mind with this “fast attack boat” foolishness. We’ve got better fast attack boats on Grand Isle


Those boats don't look a whole lot bigger than the ones that the Oklahoma Lake Patrol use.

That's a well made video...almost like it's fake.

Why would you drop the "boarding ladder" for something like that?

Overnight, U.S. forces carried out a maritime interdiction and right-of-visit boarding of the sanctioned stateless vessel M/T Majestic X transporting oil from Iran, in the Indian Ocean within the INDOPACOM area of responsibility.

We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate.

International waters cannot be used as a shield by sanctioned actors. The Department of War will continue to deny illicit actors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain.

Non stop Hezbollah attacks on the IDF, with no response. I imagine Israel is waiting for the talks to end.

This likely will not last long before Israel begins a wide scale attack. The U.S. Embassy is urging all U.S. citizens to leave Lebanon. Telling sign.

Possible explanation for the drone sightings and explosions seen in Iran last night:

Translated from Persian

Our combat reconnaissance officer from Tehran (Mr. Snap!) called with several very excellent pieces of news, of which the author here conveys only a small portion:

1- With very strong likelihood, Israeli and American friends were highly active last night in Tehran, using micro-drones and reconnaissance and suicide UAVs, and in a series of air-to-ground offensive operations, they struck with lethal force a number of IRGC personnel, radar military equipment, and defensive ammunition depots at various points in Tehran.

2- For the first time, we witnessed the presence of American micro-drones and UAVs in this type of operation.

3- In the Chitgar area of Tehran, at least 3 key IRGC figures at the high command level have been neutralized.

4- We strongly suspect that a series of American and Israeli air operations are on the way, and the reason for their attack last night on defensive systems is most likely to prepare the combat groundwork for this type of operation.

End of interim and public-domain report.

Should they not park those planes so close to each other?

Don't worry guys, the Cardboard Kid is alive, he just doesn't want to come off sounding sick or weak.

NYT: Mojtaba has not released a recorded message because he does not want to appear vulnerable or sound weak.

The report says that due to security concerns and his current situation, he has delegated significant authority to military generals, who are now the dominant voice in key decisions.

According to the NYT, those generals also ordered the cancellation of the Iranian delegation’s planned arrival in Pakistan this week ahead of the second round of talks.

Is there an alternative? They have to be at secure airfields. But I see your point; that would be a great target for Iran if they preempt the ceasefire.

A member of Iran’s parliament said authorities have decided not to release any new images or materials related to Mojtaba Khamenei, citing concerns over “occult sciences” and unconventional methods that could be used against him.

“Based on the opinion of scholars in Najaf, Qom and Mashhad and the decision of security officials, no new images or materials of him will be released for now so that enemies cannot harm him through particular methods and occult sciences,” said Salar Velayatmadar, a member of the National Security Commission, claiming that such sciences and methods are studied in institutions including those in Tel Aviv.

Responding to a question about Mojtaba Khamenei’s health, he said Khamenei was conscious and reciting prayers when he was pulled from under rubble following the February 28 attack on the Leader’s compound in downtown Tehran, citing a report to the commission by a member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards present at the scene.

“His injuries were superficial,” Velayatmadar said.
