The Middle East-based naval commanders from the US, British, and French navies transited the Strait of Hormuz on a US warship on Friday in an unusual show of force aimed at Iran.
The US Navy’s Fifth Fleet said its commander, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, made the transit with his British and French counterparts aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Paul Hamilton.
The show of unity near Iran’s coast came after the White House announced that the US was increasing its military presence in the Persian Gulf following Iran’s seizure of two oil tankers.
Before Iran seized the two tankers, the US seized a ship in the region that was carrying Iranian oil and stole its cargo. The US has a history of taking Iranian oil and gas shipments using sanctions enforcement as a pretext.
Tensions between the US and Iran have been soaring since indirect negotiations between the two countries to revive the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, failed in the fall of 2022. Axios reported last week that the US had proposed to Israel to conduct joint military planning on potential attacks on Iran
Iran and Saudi made peace. Why can’t we make peace with Iran too? Why are the hawks so allergic to peace?
Do drug lords or mafia ever come to any kind of agreement?
Zero sum game is American way of thinking . Mercantilism applied to crime family of west .
Without Iran bogey , US loses its relevance to ME’s defense .
Because the US hegemon habit dies hard…!

and the US had already seized at least one Iranian oil tanker prior to seizing that Iranian oil tanker.

Ayatollah guys reportedly waved at them yelling, “don’t let the door hit you in the ass!”
And this is after Persians kicked out one of “coalition” boat from Persian Gulf.

I love how they deal with imperial thugs. No nonsense. Both Kremlin and Beijing can learn from them.
What an incredibly idle threat and waste of taxpayers money.
Those Brits and French made the mess in the beginning with their colonialism and now they put their stupid kid (USA) out front to keep the mess tamped down because everyone is dependent on that area’s oil production levels continuing.
I rather be dependent on how America’s production levels pushes the market, not that area of the world but that’s just me.
I rather doubt we’d be so involved over there without oil being always in the background but perhaps it is just our morality that drives things over there and economic concerns like oil have no impact?
“Before Iran seized the two tankers”
The US helped overthrow democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953. Installed a brutal authoritarian for 26 years that led to the theocracy in place today. They also funded Iraq’s illegal invasion in 1980 and fed Iraq weapons for 8 years that killed over 500,00 people. The belligerence continued to present day and included allowing Israel to conduct terrorists acts inside of Iran which included broad daylight assassinations and sabotages on Iran’s civilian nuclear facilities. The US also reneged on the JCPOA and put economy destroying “maximum pressure” sanctions in place. Not to mention murdering an Iranian general on a diplomatic mission in Iraq.
Dave, the above paragraph should’ve been included in your article above…!
The Return Message from Iran: Smile, You’re On Candid Camera…!
Uncle Sam and the kiddies, waving their dicks once again.
They’re dickless…!
