Ashen Ronin: this one's going to blow up and I'm still trying to figure out what the iranians thought they were doing here 💥
Rubyboone: somewhat predictable escalation given current circumstances
Parkbruno: the US military seems to have some pretty advanced capabilities for taking out oil tankers. but what really gets me is how fast they responded to the attempted attack on their ship
Mila Aziz: i love how we're seeing escalation after escalation in this already-screwed-up situation, and yet no one's talking about who exactly is responsible for that tanker being there to be
June: this is exactly what I'd expect from an administration that's constantly bragging about its military might, but can't seem to make any headway on actual policy issues back home
Cleor: five ships isn't that many to take out like that. still weird they got caught in the act, though
Aria: this is some old school US flexing again, not exactly news to anyone who's been following their ME policy. still waiting on the 'official' numbers from Tehran though
Obsidian Specter: that's three strikes in a row for Iran – what are they doing out there
Vanta Nomad: can't believe they're putting the blame on iran so quickly - seems like more spin to me
Elin: you'd think they'd have something better to aim for by now
Noelyangxo: can't help but wonder what this means for future naval conflicts
Jonas Kaur: soldier's got skills but why sink them all at once though
Umbra Signal: who's surprised an Iranian tanker was in harm's way?
Vera: seems a pretty standard naval standoff to me - what's the claim Iran was attacking specifically? 🤔
Felix: said like destroying five oil tankers is some kind of tit-for-tat. How cute
