wish it is Israel, they will show Iran no mercy
Even Israel has the tendency of showing decency in their response.

I wish it is a Muslim country that was dealing with Iran. Maybe Saudi Arabia or Turkey or UAE. E for red for them.

Iran is still winning on proganda and Internet.
Iran claims they are winning, yet they cut off internet in their country to stop masses from seeing what's going on.
Their sympathizers here are brainwashed into thinking this is Religious war.
Did Israel disclose damages or allowed journalist to report damages?

If not Donald Trump, no one would have know they were hit badly in the last war.

This development signals a continued escalation in already fragile regional tensions. The destruction of Iranian boats and interception of missiles and drones highlights how volatile the Strait of Hormuz remains, despite recent ceasefire efforts.

From a strategic standpoint, the United States is reinforcing its posture as a guarantor of maritime security, especially in a corridor critical to global energy supply. However, Iran’s response suggests that deterrence has not yet translated into de escalation.

The situation reflects a broader pattern where military actions are framed as defensive by all parties involved,
The USA has been greatly responsible in its handling of power by showing restraint.

Iran actually has no capacity to close the straight against USA wishes. They simply resort to scare tactics to prevent ships from passing. When you hear reports that Iran fired missiles at USA ships it doesn’t mean that they hit the ship. There is no way Iran has any form of capacity to challenge the USA
Pls dont say this unless you are very sure. Iran has bee n preparing for this war with the US for 46 years bro.

BREAKING NEWS US claim of sinking Iranian boats ‘a lie’, senior military official tells IRIB

US claim of sinking Iranian boats ‘a lie’, senior military official tells IRIB
Monday, 04 May 2026 5:09 PM [ Last Update: Monday, 04 May 2026 6:33 PM ]

A senior Iranian military official has rejected a claim by the United States military that it has sunk several Iranian boats as part of an operation to open the Strait of Hormuz.
A senior Iranian military official has rejected a claim by the United States military that it has sunk several Iranian boats as part of an attempt to open the Strait of Hormuz, the IRIB News reports.

The statement by the unidentified commander was cited in a Monday report by the IRIB News, where the official reacted to comments by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) about an alleged confrontation between Iranian and US naval forces in regional waters earlier in the day.

“The US claim regarding the sinking of a number of Iranian combat boats is a lie,” said the commander.

Head of CENTCOM Admiral Brad Cooper said earlier on Monday that the US military had destroyed six Iranian small boats and intercepted missiles and drones fired at US warships, as he acknowledged that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) had acted to stop Washington’s attempts to break Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.


That came after US President Donald Trump announced he had ordered the US military to begin an operation to break Iran’s control over the Strait and allow commercial ships to pass through, after more than two months of being stranded in regional waters because of the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.

The IRGC warned in response that any attempt by US military or commercial vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without coordination with Iranian authorities would be met with swift and decisive action.

Iran has controlled the Strait since the early days of the US-Israeli aggression that began in late February, allowing only ships that are deemed non-hostile and that observe security protocols announced by the Iranian military to transit the waterway.

The control has left nearly 3,000 ships and some 20,000 sailors stranded on both sides of the Strait, while causing a major surge in international oil prices.

The IRIB also quoted the Iranian military official as denying reports that Iran had attacked targets in the United Arab Emirates, saying Tehran had no such plans.

That came after UAE authorities said they had intercepted missiles fired at the Persian Gulf country while failing to stop drones exploding at an oil site.
“ The statement by the unidentified commander was cited in a Monday report by the IRIB News, where the official reacted to comments by the US Central …”.

You see your life for road?

An unidentified commander and you posted it as true? Please get us the name of the commander and we will never doubt you again.

The story is all over the news Uncle. If the war resumes, be assured that nothing will be spared in Iran.

As of early 2026, U.S. petrol prices rose sharply following the start of the conflict in Iran on February 28.
Prior to the conflict, petrol (gasoline) averaged around $2.94 per gallon ($0.78 per litre) in February 2026.
As of late April 2026, prices surged to roughly $4.30 per gallon ($1.14 per litre), representing a significant rise driven by concerns over oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz
.Before Conflict (Feb 2026): Approx. $2.94/gallon or $0.78/litre.During Conflict (April 2026): Approx. $4.30/gallon or $1.14/litre.Increase:
Fuel prices saw a nearly 20% to 40% increase in many parts of the U.S. within the first two months of the conflict.

America and Trump should take a decisive action once and for all on this Iranian's conflict, it has lingered too long.

U.s just free Iran, but Iran come dey think say them go take them for granted. They think simplicity was stupidity, come begin dey do gra gra, not knowing that u.s dey give them opportunity to repent
USA free Iran ke huh huh huh

USA is looking for a scape goat that the whole world will blame their escalation in the Middle East for and they have gotten one which is Iran.

All the drama you see Iran performing here and there is for USA to use them as excuses.

When USA started with Iran the whole world that wants Fuel price to return to normal will join in support of the USA.

Rumor has it that the UAE in the coming week will mobilize other Arab nations for a regime change in Iran.

😂 Iran know they can't win the war they just want to make US waste money.

They are using funny strategy... Built a cheap drones and make US to use their expensive air defense weapons to intercept.

The war is causing US more than anticipated.
