The aggressive, terrorist, and pirate U.S. military violated the ceasefire by targeting an Iranian oil tanker traveling from Iran's coastal waters near Jask toward the Strait of Hormuz, as well as another vessel entering the Strait of Hormuz near the Emirati port of Fujairah.
At the same time, with the cooperation of some regional countries, they carried out air attacks on civilian areas along the coasts of Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island.
The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately responded by attacking U.S. military vessels east of the Strait of Hormuz and south of the port of Chabahar, reportedly inflicting significant damage on them.
"Trump just torched Fujairah and turned around! Without any preliminary judgement, let's quickly walk through what happened over the past few days.
➡️First, Trump abruptly announced he intended to force open the Strait of Hormuz - without Iran's consent and against its will.
➡️The following day, the US military declared it would provide armed escort to ships through the strait, breaking Iran's control of the waterway by force.
➡️And so it began. US destroyers moved in. But the overwhelming majority of shipping companies - knowing full well how hollow American posturing tends to be - didn't move an inch and refused to gamble their assets on this bluff. A handful of ships with worse judgment tried to transit anyway. They caught fire.
➡️Meanwhile, the UAE claimed that Fujairah had been struck by missiles and drones. The exact origin of the attacks was never fully established - but Fujairah was burning regardless.
➡️Ships that defied the blockade burned. Fujairah burned. And the US destroyers found themselves stuck in the middle - probably asking each other what exactly they were even doing there.
➡️Trump quickly declared his operation a failure. The ships were already on fire, Fujairah was ablaze, and the destroyers were adrift with no clear mission.
➡️Tonight, Trump ordered the stranded destroyers to withdraw - but even on their way out, they came under sustained attack from the Iranian Navy.
➡️So here's the full picture: the destroyers came in, got stuck, and went home. The strait remains under Iran's control. A South Korean vessel and several others burned. And Fujairah - according to the UAE itself - suffered significant damage to key infrastructure."
