Just so I understand, as part of our blockade, we fired on Iranian tankers attempting to leave the area (go through the blockade).
Iran then fired on some of our positions, then got on social media bragging about it.
Then we responded with destroying those sites where the missles came from.
Then Tehran says we broke the ceasefire?
That is some impressive metal gymnastics from that regime.
we actually look much weaker than that
Iran launched multi-dimensional attacks against THREE of our Arleigh Burkes which were transiting through the Gulf
then we basically took out their little speedboats.
when is the last time the USA allowed navy destroyers to be under severe attack and then did nothing about it?
we look like @#$#@ to the Islamic fanatics right now.
Doesn't seem that way to me.....

TAMPA, Fla. U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.
Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.
U
.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.
