NOT LIKE THIS...
it doesn't look that damaged. no fire?
>>529962181afaik tankers are filled with inert gas to prevent firescould have been full toono vapor- no explosion

>>529962104STRAIT'S CLOSED
>>529962104the iranians are unbelievably stupid.
>>529962104nothing to worry guys, just a 50 million oil tanker
>>529962104Why is every fucking ship in the world flagged Panama or Bahama?
>>529962104every country in the world operates ships under Bahamian flags. i think its a cheap and easy port of convenience or something.
It's a good play from Iran and to be expected.They're going to keep on taking random potshots at ships to deny any tanker presence in the entire region, forcing the US to bring in a permanent boots on the ground and battleship presence to secure the strait.US won't be able to pull it off for long, because too many people are against the American occupation of yet another sand nation and a prolonged guerrilla warfare, which is going to be expensive as fuck.However leaving the strait closed will fuck with oil prices and cause inflation, which is absolute poison to the average Joe in the West, so they absolutely have to do something.America fucked up big time going in there without a proper plan, thinking there was going to be a regime change.Worst case scenario and a huge blow to the US military would be enough American troops just saying "No, fuck you" to the government and refusing to go to war.
>>529963108it's like how niggers take random potshots at old asian grannies walking down the street. good play
>>529963108>a prolonged guerrilla warfareIt's funny of you to assume they'll just steamroll to Tehran like they did to Baghdad, and not get annihilated with FPV drones like the Russians do in Ukraine.
>>529963108>too many people are against the American occupationsoldiers follow orders.the world follows america.notice how you're using the american language, on the internet (american invention), powered by electricity (american invention).
is it me or are all these misiles weak as fuck? I guess that's a trade off for speed but still, very underwhelming
>>529963108wasn't this easily predictable by the US as a response though? surely they have some sort of plan
>>529962104Pool's closed

>>529962104Oh, more Iranian cope: https://www.ukmto.org/recent-incidents#51020ec0-2a8a-4536-a5ec-95a167830a18- - - - -UKMTO WARNING 014-26 - ATTACK Report Date: 04 Mar 2026 Report Time:2240UTC Issue Date:04 Mar 2026 Source: Master UKMTO has received a report of an incident 30NM southeast of MUBARAK AL KABEER, KUWAIT. The Master of a tanker at anchor, reports witnessing and hearing a large explosion on the port side then seeing a small craft leave the vicinity. There is oil in the water coming from a cargo tank which could have some environmental impact, the vessel has taken on water, there are no fires reported and the crew are safe and well. Update 001 05 Mar 26 – UKMTO has received an update that the discharge from the tanker is ballast water. The tanker remains 30NM southeast of MUBARAK AL KABEER, KUWAIT, in IRAQI TTW’s. Authorities are investigating. Vessels are advised to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity to UKMTO.- - - - -Its not even sinking, it just has a ruptured ballast tank. Funnily enough 50KG explosives doesn't get you very far against a double-hulled tanker.

>>529962104Ships fly flags of nations they aren’t part of all the time.Thats how a shithole like Liberia makes money, saves the ship’s owners on taxes.https://www.liscr.com/
>>529962104>USV... iran could sink a US sub?
>>529962104They probably did this to make absolutely certain people realize the pool is closed.
>>529962993Taxes.Costs less to fly the flag of a shithole nation than your own in most cases.
>>529964009subs use passive and active sonar to detect USVs
>>529963215Yes it's a good play if the goal is to keep the street free from Asian grannies.At some point the grannies stop walking there because they know nigs will kill them, so you'll need police presence 24/7 for the grannies to be able to walk there.>>529963315Let's be honest, America does have the ability to absolutely fuck up any nation they want with missiles alone.However that's not enough in this situation, because leveling a city won't do shit except piss people off.They need to pacify the region and that's not doable without a ridiculously huge long term military effort, which the US isn't in a state to pull off.Public would chimp the fuck out about the expenditure and people don't even want this war to begin with.>>529963357Yes and no.A lot of missiles are meant to take out a target accurately and that's what they achieve. No collateral, just a precision strike.The unimpressive damage there is more about modern ships being built so well nowadays, that these tankers simply don't sink like they used to even with multiple holes in them.>>529963742They don't need to sink.That boat is not seaworthy anymore and can't transport anything without getting repaired at the dock. All they need to disable the ships is to damage them.
>>529963361Do you see the retards in charge? Competency crisis is real.
>>529962104They do all this but they won't hit a US vessel. Fucking cucks what the fuck are they even doing.

>>529964649>They don't need to sink.>That boat is not seaworthy anymore and can't transport anything without getting repaired at the dock. Oh no, one damaged tanker and one damaged cargo ship, shut the world economy down!
>>529966006its about sending a message
>>529963361No one has a good way to deal with those drones, Iran will continue harassing everyone indefinitely.They won't cause a lot of damage, but they will make it incredibly costly.
