As I've said repeatedly, we hadn't made a real effort to force the strait open. Sounds like we are now.
From the article you quoted:
U.S. Central Command has guided around 70 commercial ships through the strait, traveling into and out of the Persian Gulf, in the last three weeks, one of the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters.
Wow! 70 ships in 3 weeks. That’s amazing!!! Sounds like we’re kicking some serious ass.
But……… I think you forgot to read the entire article:
Before the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran in late February, well over 100 commercial ships a day passed through the strait.
70 ships in 3 weeks vs over 2,100 ships in 3 weeks. Iran must be shaking in their boots.
And at what cost are these “escorts” to US taxpayers?
And how many service members are put in danger?
And how much have Americans paid in higher priced gas?
Trump is an idiot. You don’t have to be one, too.
