Their response? Errr, uh, yeah, we'll send our ships right away! *Whispers to underling* DO NOT SEND ANY FUCKING SHIPS! *whispers to underling* |
Yeah that's CNN, click on the link and it's basically, no thank you, reading between the lines.
Also still delusional:
War timeline: Trump administration officials said they expect the conflict in Iran to come to an end within weeks or “sooner,” as economists voice concerns that the oil disruption could spark a recession. Meanwhile, Israel’s military told CNN it plans for its campaign to continue for at least three more weeks.
Iran isn't just going to stop because Trump says he's done with his illegal war. They want re-assurances it's not going to happen again, and with international law having been completely dismantled by US/Israel, that means keep on bombing US assets until the US leaves the ME.
Iran isn't going to re-open the straight of Hormuz until the US vacates their bases around Iran and puts a leash on Israel.
However Iran is willing to let other countries through, likely based on not helping the US.
Strait of Hormuz: Multiple Trump administration officials tried to allay concerns about the effective shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, saying that other countries will likely assist in securing the strategic waterway. Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran is open to holding talks with countries wanting to safely access the strait.
‘Let Trump send his ships into the Gulf if he dares’: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard
Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naini, spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), dismissed US claims that Iran’s naval capabilities have been destroyed.
“The Strait of Hormuz is under Iran’s full control, and any aggression will be met with a decisive response,” he said in a report carried by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Naini also challenged Trump’s remarks that the US had destroyed Iran’s navy. “Didn’t Trump say that Iran’s navy has been destroyed? If so, let him send his ships into the Persian Gulf if he dares.”
The IRGC spokesperson said Iran has already launched about 700 missiles and 3,600 drones at “American and Zionist” targets since the war began. He warned that more powerful weapons remain unused, adding that Iran will continue attacks until it believes deterrence has been restored.
Iran forces warn anyone supplying US aircraft carrier Gerald Ford could be targeted
Iranian forces have warned that support facilities linked to a US aircraft carrier deployed in the region could become military targets.
According to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, a spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said: “The presence of the US aircraft carrier Gerald Ford in the Red Sea is considered a threat” against Iran.
The spokesperson added that “the logistics and service centres for the aforementioned fleet in the Red Sea are considered a target of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Iran arrests 500 accused of giving information to enemies, police chief says
Iran has arrested 500 people accused of sharing information with enemies, the Islamic Republic’s police chief said earlier today.
Half of those cases had involved serious incidents, “including people who provided information for hitting targets and individuals who took footage of strike locations and sent them”, Ahmad-Reza Radan said in comments carried by Reuters news agency, without going into detail on when the arrests took place.
Earlier, Iranian media reported dozens of arrests in several regions on Sunday.
In northwestern Iran, the semiofficial Tasnim news agency said 20 people were arrested on accusations by the provincial prosecutor’s office of sending location details on Iran’s military and security assets to Israel.
In northeastern Iran, which has remained relatively untouched by air strikes, Tasnim reported the arrest of 10 people, with some accused of collecting information on sensitive locations and economic infrastructure.
IRGC claims missile and drone strikes on four US airbases
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that its naval forces launched coordinated strikes at four US airbases at dawn, targeting key infrastructure including command centres, air-traffic control towers and air-defence facilities.
“The IRGC Navy at dawn today, in several assault battalions, simultaneously struck four American terrorist airbases with precise and crushing blows,” it said in a statement, adding that missile and drone units targeted multiple sites linked to US forces in the region.
The IRGC also claimed that recent satellite imagery showed significant damage to US military infrastructure at the targeted bases, saying, “In recent days, according to published satellite images, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have destroyed more than 80 percent of the strategic radars, key and vital points of the American terrorist bases.”
Sounds like Trump is winning...
