Iran Super Thread- Merged

[Kirkhill]

It's an incredibly bad idea ...I suspect the they won't be able to resist

It is also an idea with millenia of provenance. Discomfiting today's enemy by any means is worth making the enemy of my enemy my friend. Tomorrow's enemy is tomorrow's problem.

The strategy often has religious overtones - Cathars, Dominicans, Jesuits, Societe des Missions Etrangere, Scots Presbyterians, English Methodists, British Freemasons, Socialists and Communists. Islamists.

You can always find recruits across borders among the discontented.

....

There will always be war. The struggle never ends.

Uh oh.

No way to confirm yet if it was actually a naval mine, but that ship was definitely struck with something.

We’re in for four more weeks of Iran continuing to turn up pressure into the midterms.

Sure they’re not the same one? Sinking -> sunk?

Iran’s been really pushing hard. I wonder how many ships have had to go in for long term repairs so far? It would be interesting to know how many operational tanker weeks have been lost to damage.

Sounds like 2 different ships, per the article.

A Singapore-flagged container ship has sunk near the Strait of Hormuz after being hit by a projectile, while a dry bulk carrier damaged in an earlier attack is also reported to be sinking, maritime security sources said on Wednesday.

Ugh.

Ugh.

This appears to be the one that sank.

According to this article, both vessels were Singaporean flagged.
