Iran claims strike on US ship in Strait of Hormuz as fighting escalates

Comments

1. Elin: That's a pretty convenient "claim" to make right as Biden is trying to shore up his foreign policy credentials again
2. Sana: seems like we're back to square one in the middle east. any reason this isn't getting more attention?
3. Talia: Iran's latest claims are starting to sound like a series of carefully timed PR ops - how much has this actually affected navigation in the strait?
4. Zoe: a tense spot for both countries' navies, but hard to see what the US vessel was doing there
5. Iron Raven: this is what happens when you provoke someone who can't even contain their emotions publicly
6. Larsenadam: irans got a bad case of territorial fever
7. Pale Kite: unrelated to the Strait of Hormuz, but I've always wondered why some countries don't just establish stricter waterway regulations like they do for airspace. It feels like it would
8. Brunob: this can't be a coincidence considering what's been going on in the region lately and I'm still trying to process the tanker sabotage last year
9. Azizemma: this is how you get a war, a slow burn in calm waters
10. Solar Pulse: this looks like exactly what they don't need right now, more tension
