One of the incidents that raised concern in recent days was the firing of an Iranian air-defense missile at a U.S. F-35 fighter jet that was escorting ships in the strait.

Although the missile did not come close enough to the aircraft to pose a threat, it indicates that Iran is attempting to rebuild its military capabilities.

Deadly new US missile kills civilians within a 50-meter radius in its first combat use.

The first combat deployment of Lockheed Martin’s Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) on the day the war with Iran began resulted in a humanitarian disaster in the city of Lamerd. Touted as a precise, long-range, and lethal weapon, the missile scatters tens of thousands of tungsten metal pellets over a wide radius upon detonation.

We are not going back there anytime soon.

Iran has defeated the US empire and humiliated Israel.

They did what no one thought was possible and forced the largest military empire the world has ever seen to the negotiating table.

This is the story of how it happened and why the world will never be the same again.

Two oil supertankers have been hit by unknown projectiles while transiting the Strait of Hormuz outbound from the Persian Gulf, maritime risk management firm Marisks said on Tuesday, as tensions in the Middle East flared up again this week and put the tentative oil flow recovery at risk.

The Sidr very large crude carrier (VLCC), operated by Saudi Arabia’s state shipping giant Bahri, was hit by unknown projectiles northeast of Khasab, Oman, Marisks said, as carried by Bloomberg.

The other supertanker that was hit was the Senegal Prosperity, operated by South Korea’s tanker fleet giant Sinokor, which was also attempting to exit the Persian Gulf near Oman, per the advisory by Marisks cited by Bloomberg.
