Iran targets US Navy supplies in most extensive wave of airstrikes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Iran has targeted US naval supply lines in a wave of airstrikes that have brought the interim peace deal to the brink of collapse.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have destroyed several key US facilities across the Gulf, including a refuelling station for American aircraft carriers at the Port of Duqm, Oman.

The Iranian attacks were carried out after the US launched some 140 strikes on Saturday evening in response to further assaults by Tehran on commercial shipping in the waterway.

The latest round of fighting was triggered earlier this week by Iranian strikes on tankers attempting to transit the shipping lane. Tehran has argued that all commercial vessels must use routes approved by its authorities.

1. They targeted a refueling station in Oman for US carriers. The NUCLEAR carriers?

When one considers the article credits the IRGC as the source, it makes some sense. It is surprising they didn't claim to have sunk the USS Lincoln, again.

2. They do require fuel for the Jets?

The fueling ship may fill up there?

3. They do need aviation fuel

but no carrier or replenishment ship is going to a port in Oman right now. They will not make themselves vulnerable to Iranian attacks.

The carrier will be conducting at sea replenishments and the supply ships will come from Diego Garcia or farther.

4. How is Iran doing any strikes at all?

Their whole military was obliterated and at the bottom of the sea, I heard.

5. We are depleting their rocket supply

by letting them land on our bases .

8. Oh yeah. That's the business end of the regime you said would be toppled because the people were going to "rise up".

When you were praising Trumps goofy iran war. No sign of that yet but I’m sure it’s coming any day now.
