There are mines. They don't have to be high tech. My son says the Iranians aren't bluffing about mines.

The Navy is good at this.
They really aren’t, at this particular task. Not with the new trash LCS’ at least. The MCM module is terrible. We brought home the actual minesweepers a few months ago.

There are no international waters in the strait of Hormuz. It’s either Iranian or Omani waters.

We brought the Avengers home for scrapping months ago.
They’re replaced with our terrible/mission-less LCS platforms that we decided to slap a mine countermeasure module into. The Navy tried to reject it because detection rates were so low, but Congress made them take it so we had something additional to do with the pointless LCS hulls.

Well we could have done something about Iran before now.

I don't like mimes on land. Sure as hell don't like them on the ocean.
