    1. If they are actually sweeping mines (which seems a bit unlikely given the US ended its minesweeper program last year), feel like this ups the likelihood of military action.

    2. Don’t worry there wont be any confrontation between the army and fighter boats until Saturday morning as Tradition

    3. Guilty-Shopping9 on

      At last the Strait will be open and save to pass

      Why i keep telling that to myself every time the last couple of weeks

      Am I dreaming the same dream over and over again

    4. Iran had more than half the amount of naval ships the the US has?

      I don’t think that maths right.

    5. Since the president is Dark Helmet I can see them literally sweeping with brooms for mines.

      “No you fool, he told us to sweep for mines so we’re sweeping the Strait. Find any mines yet!?” We ain’t found shit!

    6. ah, so this is why the Secretary of the Navy got fired yesterday. he was probably telling Trump that this will lead to American casualties.

      looks like we’re entering chapter 2 of the war and it will be naval as well as missile-based. i don’t really get the sense that Trump understands that Iran has been preparing for this for literally decades. Chinese-made Silkworm anti-ship missiles have been on kharg and queshm islands since like 1980.

      i wonder if phase 3 will be ground war, with US boots on the ground. good Lord i hope not!

    7. Why double it when you can triple it! I personally think the mine sweeping efforts should be quadrupled, but that’s just me 🤷
