      In a few days, they layed mines, then they didn’t, then we sunk their mine layer ships, then they layed mines again

      Damn, busy little bees, aren’t they

      You can’t trust any news during military operations. Or do people still think the US is invading Greenland and not Iran? NYTimes is not sitting in the Strait of Hormuz. Same armchair journalism as the rest of us.

      Honestly, do they need mines? They probably have those cheap submarine drones that Ukraine is using to sink Russia’s fleet.

      Believe it or not, calls.

      The market has been trading on the anticipation of the strait being closed, now that it has been mined we can get the tension out of the room and focus on the next steps.

      How are Chinese ships passing through (and rather how will they pass through) the strait of Hormuz if Iran fills it with mines?

      I thought Trump said they blew up all the mine laying ships? Omg could god king be wrong??

    7. Might have something to do with their nation being bombed because somewhere’s there’s a bastard using war to obfuscate his crimes against minors.
