how did US Navy destroyers bumrush the Epstein Strait?seems like the Ayatollah COULD'VE landed a couple hit with saturation strike.Iranians just lame? Maybe Iranians not wanting to give Bibi even more of a grip on Trump with pics of lots of former USN personal "floaters".Did USN do something special? Like config the destroyers with no big missiles, just lots and lots of interceptors and maybe extra CIWS guns to engage low tech drone swarms?Did USN show enough force that the Iranians figured "not worth it" and figured "we can still prevent civilian shipping, and that is what counts".WTF is going on?
>seems like the Ayatollah COULD'VE landed a couple hit with saturation strike.What made you think they could have succeeded in this?
>>65135960successful strikes against all US bases in region, and consistent strikes against Israel
>>65135963I always enjoy when turdies view not being completely eliminated as a total victory.
>>65135968>Hitting mainly outbuildings on a stationary basevs>Hitting a moving target which is almost purposefully constructed to counter air threats
>>65135969important thingy is pool is still closed and fall of Petro Dollar, and hence entire US economy, and hence possible....???.....maybe new Civil War inside USA????..... is slowly yet surely snowballing.What will happen TACTICALLY if across USA suddenly everyone's VA, SSI, welfare, bank accounts, etc are all "bail in"?
>>65135978I can hear you masturbating from here.
>>65135978>incoherent brown babblingDoes anybody here speak Retard?
>>65135978i've seen people who have never spoken english speak it better than this
This war is going to last a long time.Hopefully the civil unrest in the world is enough to cause people to start kicking out jeets who will die of hunger in jeetistan.America, Iran, Israel.Keep up the tood work
>>65135940USS MASON basically has plot armor at this point. That DDG alone has been targeted by more than 120 ASCMs and 40 ASBMs in the last 24 months. Trump won't give it a prezzie unit citation though because he's a faggot with bone spurs getting that good sloppy from Army queer Hegseth and Chief cuck of bitch island Gen Caine
>>65135972Delusional disorder is a mental health condition characterized by fixed, false beliefs held despite strong evidence to the contrary, often appearing as persecutory, grandiose, or jealous thoughts
>>65135969The problem is that SOMEONE decided to start a war in which not being completely eliminated is unironically all these particualr thirdies need to do to win.
>>65136898do they config DDGs for diff missions, like USS Mason is 110% to defend itself against Iranian tier attacks and can't do land attack itself?
>>65135940ayatollah dead>but the new ayato...dead
>>65136996yep, all Iran needs to do is make Insurance writers shy away.but also figure all the ship's crews and captains are on Iran's side, and the owners also know that.If an owner orders a captain "run the strait or you will be fired and never work again" that owner is risking something akin to what happened on the USS Ford with clogged plumbing and mattress fires.
>>65135940They didn't bumrush it, they just toodled on through.>seems like the Ayatollah COULD'VE landed a couple hit with saturation strikeHe tried. They launched nearly 2 dozen antiship missiles at the destroyers. They all failed in flight or missed entirely. Not the first time this happened, early on they did the same thing with chinese icbms at Diego Garcia, with the same result.>Iranians just lame?Just ordinary chinesium, doing chinesium things.
>>65135940The USA is simply better.
>>65137051>They launched nearly 2 dozen antiship missilesI'm thinking they COULDA launched at least a couple hundred, given the propaganda stakes.Seems like launching a couple dozen low tier missiles at a USN DDG that is all primed for just that is more like "semi-realistic training evolution".
>>65137017Really?
>>65135940>Epstein straitIs that called that because Trump btfo them like he did that pedophile?
>>65137159Its to distract you from the muslims worshipping a pedo who fucked people younger than those in the files.
>>65135940>Iran flubbed its own attack on purpose because of DA KIKESImagine coping this hard. >>65135968Making a burned patch near a tent is not the same as hitting a warship, thirdie.
>>65135978The pool is closed by the USA, who can traverse it freely while Iran can't. >>65136996>>65137029Nice samefagging but that was never a victory condition, and nothing Iran can do will make the US stop eliminating the Mullahs no matter how many AI memes they make. Iran's ability to nuke anyone is gone, Iran's ability to police the Strait is being erased as we speak. You lost. >>65137100It's all Iran had left besides memes. >>65137159>>65137165Yup
>>65137148yes
remember when they said the carrier was fine, then it came out it was on fire, they blamed it on a laundry fire and then when the boat came back to port it had blast marks.Yeah
>>65137198Can we see the blast marks?
>>65137191>the us is losing to thiscrazy
>>65137204the US is not losing
>>65137017>>65137148Not dead, but turned into a Sith Lord.
>>65137178>Nice samefagging but that was never a victory conditionIt always was, retard.>muh eliminating mullahsSo how'd that work out? Oh, you replaced the pragmatic old farts with a bunch of younger and more competent hardliners. Good job, retard.>Iran's ability to nuke anyone is gone,Funny, CIA says Irans nuke program was literally unaffected by all this.>Iran's ability to police the Strait is being erased as we speak.That's what you've been telling us for nearly 3 months now. Nothing fucking happened. Well, except for the CIA admitting that their earlier estimates of how much of Irans drones and missiles are gone were likely too optimistic. Twice. We're now at the point of said estimates thinking they've fired off some 20% and still have 70% of their initial arsenals btw. Do the math and you end up finding out what ~20,000 US and Israeli airstrikes actually managed to achieve.
>>65137216he is a cardboard cut out who hasn't been seen and only communicates through hand written lettersthat nigga dead
>>65137178>The pool is closed by Iran, whose assets are operating there freely, while no US-affiliated ships can pass outside of the delusions of american propagandists.FTFY. Prove me wrong. PS: That will require an average 40+ ships affiliated with the US to pass daily for at least a week.
>>65137213Oh? So the strait is open and US-affiliated tankers are passing through at somethign at least close to pre-war rates? No? Oh. Well then the US is, in fact, losing. And you copinmg and seething about it won't open it, either.
>>65137220>The seething wall of text grows larger with each post I mean you could just post an actual source or proof of your claims and that would take less of your time than writing novels of fanfic
>>65137220>competentlol noAre you stupid?
>I'm having a meltie because I'm WINNING!!!!!!
>>65137233Tankers are diverting to America/Norway lol
>>65137259Really the US and Russia are the biggest gainers as both are extreme oil exporters. Gas being high in price in the US is a deliberate choice to keep oil prices high and rake in profits. Also it helps US's new vassalized state of Venezuela who is also getting to sell fuel for high right after getting rid of the guy who was a thorn in the US's side. Classic case of "good for the economy, sucks for (you)"
>>65136898>MY NAME IS USS VIKTOR... REZNOV... AND I WILL DODGE... 120... ASCMS!
>>65137012Sort of. Nothing really mechanical on the ship changes but before you deploy you go to the naval magazine and draw ordnance. That mix you draw depends on the expectations of the cruise. It's pretty common for MidPac independent deployers to go out with a heavy TLAM armament and some empty cells but a 5th fleet CSG attached boat to have basically exclusively SM2/3/6 and ESSM. Generally the non- CSG DDGs are much lighter on AW filled cells than ships attached to the carrier.
>>65137198No because that didn't happen. What did happen was that you thirdies spun a laundry fire into a whole conspiracy about how Iran would win and seethed when Iran continued to get smushed.
>>65136996>Not using archive>Not seeing the original post was about HouthisTourist scum.
>>65136050Everybody here speaks retard.
>>65137220Ah yes so competent the US is traversing the Strait unimpeded and Iran is bottled up unable to do shit about it. >Losing all of their nuclear facilities didn't affect Iran Cope. >>65137233>Rerouting the world's oil traffic through the Gulf of America is good for Iran because it just is, okay?>>65137229I don't have to do anything about your delusions but laugh at them.
>>65136898You are so mad that handing Iran pallets of cash to appease Obama's daddy issues didn't work
I really hope Trump wises up soon to the fact that there's no Art of the Deal to be had here and finishes Iran off.
>>65137328Trump has never liked bombing the shit out of regular people. He wants their government gone and Chinese influence out of the region.
>>65137342I appreciate him being a rung about the neoconservatives and neoliberals of the 2000s but I wish he actually had contingencies planned out. A well meaning retard is still retarded without someone else to help them think out their goals. It feels like we got Iran in check but checkmate hasn't been figured out. 9
>>65137318>Gulf of AmericaDoes not exist. Are you talking about the gulf of Mexico?
>>65137370We're not doing this again.
>>65137370Yes it does. There is no Gulf of Mexico, it's the Gulf of America. Cope and seethe gunless tranny.
>>65137357>You're retarded unless everything goes perfectly your waySigh. Iran is still losing btw.
>>65137370Mexico doesn't have a Gulf. There is only the Gulf of America.
>>65137100>propaganda Well there's your answer right there!
>>65137539Not him, but Trump really is a retard for attacking Iran with no preparation whatsoever. They're the most strategically positioned out of all of our potential adversaries and they've spent 50 years preparing for war with the US and coming up with contingencies for when they get their shit pushed in for the first week. We literally would have had a better time attacking China than Iran.
>>65137650>no preparation Does everyone forget the massive build up that took place WEEKS before the conflict started?
>>65137342>He wants their government gone and Chinese influence out of the regionChina has nothing to do with whats happening with Iran
>>65137539>>65137667The US rarely ever does attritional warfare. If we're sieging Iran it wasn't ever implied that was the goal.
>>65137667>Does everyone forget the massive build up that took place WEEKS before the conflict started?My guy, Trump literally thought would fold similar to how Venezuela folded when Maduro got grabbed. Trump's idea of "Bomb them until they change governments" was his only plan.
>>65137671>only planKeep fucking believing this, and cut out more cardboard.
>>65137650Ah yes he's very retarded for successfully sitting on them and destroying their nukes, navy, and air force instead of giving them pallets of cash to build nukes with. I'd give you the dignity of pretending you're that one Mitt Romney intern who sits in the enlistment threads seething about Trump, but we both know you're some /pol/ Jeet. Muh contingencies. What did those get your Mullahs, eh? Did it stop them getting blown up and blockaded? Did they let Iran hit the US? No? Then they're as useless as China's "hundred year plans".
>>65137668Yeah surely China's last few proxies getting btfo and China sitting in the cuck chair watching it happen has nothing to do with Pooh Bear. >>65137669>>65137671I'm still waiting to see Iran "winning."
Having not given much care to the war, what ARE the aims for each side? I habe no idea what the us' goal is, and Iran's only goal seems to be to exist and be a pain to deal with to try and get a vetter deal at the end.
>>65137693I never said we are losing, but we haven't fully won yet.
>>65137667Woah, two weeks of preparation for invading a place that the kikes have wanted us to invade for thirty years but we keep looking at it and deciding "okay, but maybe not right now"?>>65137690>destroying their nukes, navy, and air forceWhat did this gain us?
>>65137719>Woah, two weeks of preparation for invadingThe preparation was clearly not for invading. It was for an extensive air campaign, which was executed pretty well. If the US prepared for an invasion, they would have brought a lot of ground forces into theater to do the actual invasion.
>>65137730And what did this gain us? I'm not saying the military action wasn't brilliant. I'm saying that Trump had, and has, absolutely no clue what the fuck to do afterward.
>>65137669That's the primary form of warfare that the US does though. You just don't recognize it because it's never the US that's getting attrited.
The sailors engaging those gunboats must be giddy for the accolades coming; rare the Navy ever gets such direct action on the seas.
>>65137216>Somehow the Prophet Zoroaster has returned
>>65137370>Giant bay between North and South America>For some reason named after a failed state that has always been someone else's bitchWhy do you glorify weakness and stupidity?I'll bet $1000 that you are fat.
>>65137667He didn't plan for them closing the strait despite it being obvious to anyone who isn't retarded that that was the very first thing they would do
>>65137342>Trump has never liked bombing the shit out of regular people>vaporized a girls’ school literally on the first day of hostilities >>65137650Sadly this>>65137667You don’t need to be a majoo to look at the>casualties>material losses>ammunition shortages (especially anti-drone and missile defense munitions)>constant goalpost shifting >evasive and non-answers given by members of Trump’s cabinet to the most basic questions on the war>constant proclamations of victory despite Iran continuing to fight rather than suing for termsto draw the conclusion that Trump us to war without adequate preparation. Quite frankly the mere fact that he’s entertaining a ceasefire at all is a pretty odious sign that things aren’t going well and he’s starting to panic. If things were going well, he’d be boasting about hoisting the American flag over the Tehran embassy for the first time since r 1979.
>>65138262The Gulf of Mexico is not between North and South America.
>>65135940This post is brown
>>65138309So it is entirely in North America.So Gulf of North America.And I still accuse you of being a fat fuck.
>>65138347I am not the original poster you responded to, but if it makes you feel better about your geographical ignorance I will allow you to imagine me as overweight. The Gulf of Mexico has been referred to as such nearly as long as the Americas have been the Americas, which is to say ~250 years before either Mexico or the US have been independent nations. I don't know why you waste thought on defending the partial renaming of a body of water. The action has no merit, and will be forgotten in less than 5 years when it is reversed.
>>65138290>Trump actively selected that achool>The school that was literally within a military base>After we hear rumors of A.I. using outdated data to drone strike>Later >>65138290Hesgeth feels he needs to state that humans are always in the loop and targets are not selected autonomouslyYou are pathetic, except you deserve no pity
>>65137321I'm absolutely for returning frozen cash to Iran, demanding only in return a protection of the Druze and Zorostrian minority, and reestablishment of a US embassy in Iran. You can be married to a pretty Persian Expat and be an old salt who knows the MASON is on a generational run at the same time.
>>65138290Hahaha! Cope, there’s a McDonald’s coming for you.
>>65138365So you admit to being obese.
>>65138365It's the Gulf of America. It's America's, we get to name it that. If you have a problem with it get a Navy lmao. >reversedNot with how that redistricting is going.
>>65138365>It was named that hundreds of years ago.And?
>>65138365>>65138466Also;> I don't know why you waste thought on defending the partial renaming of a body of water. The action has no merit, and will be forgotten in less than 5 years when it is reversed.So; it doesn't matter. So shut up and let it happen.
>>65138420I didn’t mean to insinuate that Trump personally ordered it, but as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he must assume ultimate responsibility as it was HIS decision to go to war that led to the deaths of those girls. Hegseth too, that is the burden of leadership.So far, both of them have utterly failed in this regard.https://youtu.be/_g7otx-Es-Q?si=nYoHMWkIarz2JJXShttps://youtu.be/YmBmAcapiq0?si=h6D41BQ2T4Mu9lLv
>>65138478The burden lies on the Iranian leadership that chose to turn their military installation into an elementary school in order to bait out exactly this course of events to garner international sympathy in case of American/Israeli strikes
>>65138478>those girlsName one of them.
>>65138488While normally you would be making a fair point, the base had been closed by most accounts been closed for well over a decade prior to the start of the Iran War. It had presumably been put on target lists some time prior to 2016 and those lists evidently hadn’t been updated in the intervening decade. The failure to update those target lists lies squarely with the US and the commander-in-chief by virtue of his being the ultimate authority.
>>65138504The base was still open. That specific building within the base had been turned into a school a decade earlier, specifically to use the children as human shields.
>>65136898Damn that's gay as fuck, those sailors deserve some R&R and medals
>>65138456sorry m8, but I just don't give a shit about your new politically correct name for the Gulf of Mexico, so I'm gonna keep calling it that that and you're gonna keep seething about it
>>65137537>it's KIEV not KYIV you fucking tranny newspeak retard!!!!!!>Ummmmmmm sweaty, it's called GULF OF AMERICA now!!! Respect my pronouns you leftist radical antifa islamist!!!!
>>65137696Iran's goal is to extract concessions via reparations and sanctions relief out of the US and establish deterrence so that such an attack never happens again. They don't need a nuke because blockading the strait is far more effective. The strait could be open tomorrow and it will take years for the economy to recover from this.America's goal, considering the near total strategic disaster this war has been in every single way, is to try and reestablish antebellum transit of the strait while trying to save as much of Trump's izzat as possible.
>>65138600completely different thing
>>65138612consistency was never the strong point of MIGAfags
>>65137204>the us is losingSource(s)?
>Around 7 ships (commercial vessels) transited the Strait of Hormuz in the last 24 hours as of early May 8, 2026.42e128
>>65138600I've seen way more people try to correct Kiev to Kyiv than the other way around.
>>65138478>Muh schoolgirls>Killing 30k of your own civilians is fine though because the CIA brainwashed themIran does not value the lives of their civilians as anything other than political capital.
>>65138673Dozens of ships went through the Stait every day, without the risk of getting blown up, before Trump's tantrum, though.
