US forces strike Iran again after weeks of quiet
So much for that 'peace' break—the US just blew up some rocket launchers to keep the Strait of Hormuz from turning into a minefield.
Apparently, the brief ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was just a suggestion. After weeks of silence, US forces decided to pay a visit to Larak Island to take out some rocket launchers. The goal? Stopping the IRGC from turning the local waters into a giant, explosive obstacle course with new sea mines.
It’s a classic game of whack-a-mole. Just days after CENTCOM claimed the main shipping lanes were finally clear of explosives, they’re right back at it. Meanwhile, despite Donald Trump insisting the strait is totally fine, almost 400 ships are currently sitting around waiting to get through. That is about 95% of the usual traffic just stuck in limbo.
It turns out that when you threaten to bomb your neighbors for getting in the way of a deal, the shipping industry tends to get a bit nervous. Peace is expensive when nobody can move a cargo container.
