>>530353527>Trump: "If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far."Should just be:>Trump threatens to kill over 3200 little girls with Tomahawks if Iran does not open strait

>>530353527BasedSry I didn't help, I'm sundowning in bed
>>530353641the ships just have to activate stealth mode (turning off transponders) and cross really really fast
>>530353641The economic pain will be so severe and the lobbying by industry leaders so panicked in the next couple weeks that political leaders will be compelled to send their navies there
>>530354027this is just a clip of xenonauts
Realistically, if French or UK warships start escorting tankers, would that prevent Iran from attacking in current year? Like, the warships can shoot interceptors against Iran's drones? What kind of interceptor inventory do they have? Are there lasers and stuff that can stop missiles and drones? And if this convoy shows up, do (you) think Iran would consider Europe to be fully involved in the war too?>>530354027That's awesome. Thanks man.
>>530355131>if French or UK warships start escorting tankers, would that prevent Iran from attacking in current year?Friendly reminder that Iran has at least 2 unaccounted for submarines.
>>530355131You don't even need to use missiles or drones, just plain artillery will do.
>>530353773Accoarding tontrump those tomahawks that where shot at the sfhoolgirls where Iranian tomahawks
>>530354925
>>530355415They call it shooting fish in a barrel or something.Idk i flunked out of military academy.
>>530354533The strait is so small that with binoculars you can see the other coast from the mountains.
sweet...i love /pol/ humo(u)r threads! (even when they're misspelled)
>>530353527
>>530354027I checked and can not confirm.Show me the source please.

>>530359212Thanks, but like I said, I can not confirm this sort of traffic with the other trackers I am using.
>>530354533I wonder if they're actually turning it off or is the signal being jammed. I know their GPS is definitely being jammed.
>>530360074Both actually
>>530353641If they are willing to hold the world hostage then they all deserve to die. Just carpet bomb the entire fucking country until nothing moves. If the Iranians don't want to die, then they better kill any one of their own that dares to launch a drone at a ship.
>>530360288You already have a munitions shortage, how can you believe it's even possible to bomb ninety million (90,000,000) Iranians
>>530360288Oh the irony, you are the ones taking the world as hostage with this war.
>>530353527im not educated on these things but what if the whole point of the war is to fuck with global fuel supplies and cause utter chaos in western nations everywhere, is that possible?
>>530360837No since Orange Nigger started the war and is now shitting his diaper over insane fuel prices.
>>530360994so trump will back off now?
>>530353527>game theory
>>530360103I bet most ship captains get spooked by this, plus the iranians will be spamming them over the radio telling them not to pass. Don't even need missiles to cause major disruption.
>>530353773They've already stopped it tho, does trump think it's open?
>>530355306Bro the straights are like 50km wide, drones and rockers and even conventional artillery are more than enough
