it will be interesting how long the iranians hold on to the crews of the two ships.

it's also interesting how quickly the iranians were there on scene.

One of the other stories posted said they were rescued by the US Navy.

Story

"The US Navy said it was helping to evacuate the two damaged tankers and the shipping companies said the crews of both ships were safe."

I was watching a video (take it with a grain of salt) allegedly quoting a red team planner who said the government wanted major conflicts to avoid domestic conflicts because they don't believe they'd survive a civil war with their power structure intact.

Maybe that is the point. If Iran can't sell oil, no one else can.

So they genuinely just want to die? I don't think that seems logical. Maybe for a lone terrorist/ISIS guy, but Iran's leaders don't want to die. If they did they'd just go all out. How does blowing up a tanker do ANYTHING for them? If anything it elevates the price of oil due to speculation and benefits their enemies.

I know they can be fired from almost anything. I suspect one of their midget subs  with two tubes. One torpedo and one sub launched missile.  That is just a guess.

The US currently is the world's largest producer, has managed to become a net exporter a few times over the last year, and is set to become a constant net exporter by 2020. No amount of Mid East fuckery will make much of an impact. Hell even if it was $2.79 vs $1.99 it really doesn't make a difference for most, that's still stupid cheap gas

Saving face and projecting power in the face of crippling sanctions. You do not want to be seen as weak in the middle east especially internally. Ironically, had Sadam given in to US demands in the 2000s.. he might still be in power.

Highly doubt we fight a ground war in Iran. They know they can’t win a conventional war against us and we don’t have the stomach / support for it over terrorist actions not perpetrated on American soil.
What will happen though if we hit any of their assets is every 1 of their proxies all over the Middle East will hit US targets there.
Good chance Iraq could get ugly again with all the influence they have there now and their desire to get us out of there completely.
It will be an unconventional conflict with no end in sight.

This. We forget the Iranian regime came to power by the taking of US hostages.

Obozzo and his Euro partners should've left Qaddafi alone. Instead they destabilized the North African region causing migrants to stream into Europe and weapons to flow out. The liberal media forgets that Libya is still in a civil war with no clear winner emerging anytime soon. Iraq.. well we all know the story there.
