The Pentagon is considering a more robust naval presence in the Middle East to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as gas and oil prices continue to rise, but any operation won’t commence for at least a month, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal, citing two U.S. officials, has said that the U.S. wants to reduce the threat from Iran before undertaking any escort operation, but that could take up to a month or more to accomplish, even as officials continue to downplay concerns over the strait and the impact its closure has had on global energy markets.
Lmao wtf. They’re like: “ships should go through right now. We’ll escort you. Also, we have destroyed Iran’s fighting capabilities. Also, the escorts will start in a month.”
The trump administration got high on its own supply and believed their own bullshit about a war with Iran being a cakewalk. The US military is not the effective military it was with Hegseth and trump in command of it.
I get that. I’m just laughing at their messaging.
I’m agreeing with you.
