Let's recap a few of the salient events of the past few days:

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a series of communiques in recent
days wherein they declared they had:

🔹 Destroyed the long-range ballistic missile detection radar in Qatar ($1.5B);

🔹 Destroyed the billion-dollar radar equipment of the THAAD battery in the UAE;

🔹 Fired a small salvo of subsonic anti-ship cruise missiles in the general
direction of the USS Fraidy Abe, whose escorts parried the obviously
performative attack. But Fraidy Abe immediately skedaddled much further away
from Iranian shores.

These IRGC claims were widely ridiculed in the media and here on X - and even by
CENTCOM.

But, as it turns out, all three things are absolutely true.

But, here's the kicker:

The IRGC put out another communique a little while ago. They claim to have
launched a small salvo of anti-ship cruise missiles at a US destroyer in the
midst of refueling itself beside a fleet oiler ship.

They claim to have achieved a strike with at least one of the missiles.

They claim fires were ignited on both ships, and that plumes of black smoke
filled the sky as they hurried away.

Well ... maybe it's just Persian bravado asserting itself.

But, if it is true, it is arguably the most shocking development yet in this
war.
