Iran's dire Strait of Hormuz - Eric Utter
. . . "I, for one, would love to see this war wrapped up … as long as our terms are fully met. The problem, as I and others have stated before, is that nothing the Iranians in power say or agree to, whoever they may be at the moment, can ever be trusted. Ever. No ceasefire. No truce. No pact. No promise. No solemn vow. Radical Islamists will always use these peace instruments to their advantage."
The Navy Channel "The US Navy has escalated tensions in the Middle East after attacking and seizing an Iranian cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz. In this video, we break down the full operation involving the USS Spruance (DDG-111), US Marines, and the growing US naval presence in the region.
"This incident marks a major turning point in the ongoing geopolitics of the region, as the US enforces a maritime blockade against Iran. We analyze what happened during the interception of the vessel Touska, how US warships operate in the Strait of Hormuz, and what this could mean for a potential US war with Iran. "We also cover the arrival of major US naval reinforcements, including carrier strike groups, destroyers, and mine warfare units, highlighting the increasing importance of demining and US mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz. "With rising tensions, attacks on commercial shipping, and a growing US military buildup, this situation could have global consequences for energy markets, security, and international trade." . . .

. . . "In a heartbreaking revelation, Simmons told his dad:
“Dad, I can’t give you any details, but if civilians knew what we knew, a lot of the criticism [of the war] would cease.”
"Those words carry enormous weight coming from a warrior who gave his life in service to the nation. Master Sgt. Simmons knew the real threats on the ground and in the intelligence briefings — the kind of information the American public rarely sees. He understood that much of the loud criticism from the media and political class comes from people who don’t have the full picture and never will.". . .
