Nigerian Iranians are very funny people.

War is at your door and your waters.. But you are bragging that nobody will cross your water? Your water?

Nawa.
We are not dragging Israeli waters or US waters here. Fuuls.

Do you know why Biafra lost Nigerian civil war? It's because the war was fought in their lands.

After barking like a mad dog and disparaging Iran you can't still do shit to protect your allies
Protect which allies?

Iran has destroyed all US military bases in the Middle East.

America is done in the Middle East, bro.

Iran says if any ship wants to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, they must seek permission first, except US and Israeli ships which will be immediately destroyed by missiles.

They are given too much allowance.

The IDF should go boots on ground, and let the normal score of 10,000 to 1 soldier lost be.
Just like in Gaza.
Boots on ground in Iran? You think Iran is Gaza? Omo, they will go back in body bags.

Action speak louder than “tweet/X”


Just imagine the two super power warmongering countries attacking Iran on same level no sanctions for over 40 years, just think for once what could have happened.

Oga Trump, the number one confidence scammer himself tried to talk the ship through the strait. The 3 ships that tried themselves don chop missiles.

MANY IGNORANT TAKE


Reuters reported on 10 March that the US Navy has refused near-daily requests from the oil and shipping industries for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since Operation Epic Fury began on 28 February, citing the risk of Iranian attack as too high. Not once. Not occasionally. Near-daily. Every day for eleven days, the shipping industry has asked the US Navy for help, and every day the answer has been no.

Consider what is deployed in the region. The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group operates in the Arabian Sea. The USS Gerald R. Ford is in the Red Sea.

The US Navy’s refusal is not cowardice. It is arithmetic. A carrier strike group is designed for blue-water power projection, not littoral escort through a corridor where a $500 contact mine can cripple a $4 billion destroyer. An Aegis cruiser’s radar can track hundreds of targets at 400 kilometres but cannot detect a mine sitting three metres below the surface. An F-35 can deliver precision strikes at Mach 1.6 but cannot sweep a shipping lane. The assets are wrong for the mission. The world’s most expensive hammer has been asked to thread a needle.

Trump told CBS escorts would begin “as soon as possible” and “when reasonable.” His Energy Secretary posted that an escorted transit had already occurred, then deleted it when the White House confirmed none had. Iran’s Parliament Speaker mocked the claim as PlayStation. The IEA proposed the largest reserve release in history because the strait the Navy cannot escort through remains functionally closed.

Ghalibaf was not wrong. The escorts do not exist. Not because America lacks the will. Because the Mosaic Doctrine created a threat environment where the cost of escort failure exceeds the cost of escort refusal. One mine striking one escorted tanker would produce a casualty event, an insurance catastrophe, and a strategic humiliation that three carrier strike groups cannot absorb. The Navy is not refusing to help. It is refusing to lose.

Seven hundred tankers wait. Three carriers watch. And the 33-kilometre corridor between them remains the most expensive gap in the world.
If you weren't ignorant yourself you'd have known that what you copied and pasted here simply means that the US Navy CANNOT escort tankers/ships because they'll all be destroyed and that's FEAR.

The cost to protect the vessels against torpedo carrying boats and drones over an extended period of time will be colossal. USA cannot sustain it . Which shipping insurance company will want to take the risk ? I pray the conflict is resolved soon.
