Hopefully they told the men on their AA sites to identify their target before firing at it.

I'd say that the Mullahs and IRGC are shitting bricks if they are willing to shutdown the airspace over the capitol over this.

Looks like uav and limpet mines are ok, as it’s just a few steel plates.
but hitting the bridge is not ok.
anyone know where the nuclear talks ended up?
Also got a new ‘hardline’ pm in Iran.
Western reliance on oil is waning rapidly, and the west seems focussed on China.
frankly hoping for a spanking, followed by an agreement on nukes, which then gets trade going…..

Reports of 4 ships in the Persian Gulf / Gulf of Oman having been attacked and/or hijacked.
Iran is on a roll. A more aggressive posture is expected with the new hardline president in charge.

As if by magic our on site reported pops up......
Iran is on a roll all right, where its going to end isnt in the hands of us. Taking hostages has admittedly worked out well for Iran, but maybe not this time......
And you must know the saying about a one trick pony.....

Mardo, I sometimes find you to be a dichotomy. On the one hand you tell us that Iran is advanced and thinks strategically, on the other hand you thump your chest that Iran has hijacked a commercial ship. That's barely Somali pirate league.

Israel on Monday strongly condemned a European Union decision to send a senior diplomat to Iran for the inauguration of Ebrahim Raisi, the controversial new president implicated in the killing of thousands of prisoners in 1988.
The Israeli foreign ministry on Monday called the EU decision to send Enrique Mora, the Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service and EU’s representative in the Vienna talks on Iran’s nuclear issue, a “shameful” display of “poor judgement”.
“The participation of the EU representative in the ceremony comes just a few days after Iran killed two civilians, one of whom was from an EU member state, in an act of state terrorism against civilian shipping.”

Hijackers have left vessel off UAE coast, says British navy group
An incident identified as a "potential hijack" of a ship in the Gulf of Oman has ended and the vessel is safe, the British navy said.
www.euronews.com
“The vessel is safe,” the group said, without identifying the ship. Shipping authority Lloyd’s List and maritime intelligence firm Dryad Global had both identified the hijacked vessel as Panama-flagged asphalt tanker Asphalt Princess. The vessel’s owner, listed as Emirati free zone-based Glory International, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Satellite-tracking data for the Asphalt Princess had showed it gradually heading toward Iranian waters off the port of Jask early Wednesday, according to MarineTraffic.com. Later, however, it stopped and changed course back toward Oman, just before the British navy group made its statement.
