Impossible – the Prez said hostilities are over and there is a ceasefire that is holding with his trusted partners in Tehran. Remember, he also said any attacks on US forces would result in a resumption of the war and that hasn’t happened…. Oh yeah, I forgot this administration is full of shit and has no skill at war-fighting. My sincere apologies.
*Washington* — Three U.S. Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz came under attack on Thursday, enduring what American officials described as a fiercer and more sustained Iranian assault than the barrage that two of the warships faced only days earlier.
The destroyers USS Truxtun, USS Mason and USS Rafael Peralta were attacked by missiles, drones and small boats, U.S. Central Command confirmed in a statement. The U.S. military responded by targeting Iranian facilities, including drone and missile launch sites in what Central Command described as “self-defense strikes.”
They’re testing irgc response and surveillance capabilities of the strait. Also certainly tracking telemetry of Iranian anti shipping missiles and recording all the launch sites and vehicles. The IRGC are likely throwing older missiles at them for the same.
Totally still a ceasefire tho

The war is over folks. Has been for weeks. This is just more fake news from the liberal media. /s
The Epstein regime has a $1T defense budget (possibly 1.5T in 2026) that has failed multiple audits (The Pentagon has failed its audits for eight consecutive years) vs Iran that has $7B-$10B defense budget.
How hasn’t the almighty USA opened the strait (which was open) yet?
No, no, those were peace boats and drones….
During this ceasefire both sides are only allowed to attack each other a little bit…..not too much…..or else that will be a breach of the ceasefire. A few missiles launched here and there is fine, fire on US Destroyers no problem, bomb a oil port in the U.A.E that’s no big deal. As long as nobody breaks the ceasefire.
well, he doesn’t want an election, or to release the Epstein files…so he sends Americans and puts them in danger…
Wait a minute. I was told Irans military was completely obliterated. I was told that several times. You mean that’s not true?
I cant imagine being a SWO in the mix right now D: wheres my conn at we need to lock in
What does this tell us relative to the US gov.’s insistence that the war isn’t ramping up again and that there have not been any ceasefire violations?
The war that’s not-a-war is over, and there’s a ceasefire that’s not-a-ceasefire in place. Got it.
I was told by very serious people that we are not at war.
….right?
Congress *really* needs to take back its war powers.
Vids or it didn’t happen!
The ceasefire is about everything except ceasing fire
Sounds like some good training for the Navy boys and girls.
If they were damaged we’ll be the last to know.
But it’s not a war, right?
Where are the attacks coming from? We have been told they have no Navy nor Airforce. We were told we destroyed all their weapons. Are we supplying them? Or is just Trimp selling them so he makes a profit of the war he started. Isreal destroyed the oil fields, so this must be it!
Didn’t DUI Pete declare the strait of Hormuz stuff was different than epic fury? A completely different operation? So the cease fire doesn’t apply, right?
“Winning”
It’s so peaceful, it’s crazy.
Iran knows the US is on a clock and they have already backed down. They won’t agree to US terms unless they are favorable and the US time is running out. All Iran has to do is wait and fuck with them.
The worst possible place for those ships designed for open ocean warfare. If the Iranians get lucky with a missile or small boat bomb it will be a huge win for them
