CorpRebel I hope the Iranian's so called leadership will enjoy the POTUS giving them the joy of losing most of their power plants and the rest of whatever oil revenue they hope to somehow to get. Good luck with that! But they will not be able to enforce that anyway… not in the way they think! The IRGC is pretty much a "paper tiger" right now and they are just like the flies on a farm animal… an annoyance but nothing worse… 🤷 Reply
USAFRet Content over those cables? Getting paid to allow traffic can be seen as the Iranian (Islamic) govt getting paid to allow data and traffic that is 100% against their Islamic beliefs. Interesting. Reply

If the US was actually willing to blatantly and purposefully commit war crimes like that, we wouldnt have a stalemate right now. But keep on waving that flag. Reply
Gururu Yeah I am pretty anti-regime, but the start of the war was as dirtball as it gets. Reply

What's crazy is how out of touch these people have to be to demand control over waterways recognized as international by the entire world. Reply

I guess it's fair to cry about that incident so that we can justify Flight 655 and this "excursion" 47 years later which killed 120 school children. I believe they are equal in targeted civilian attacks. Back on topic. Those undersea wires are going to be forever in jeopardy now. Didn't have to happen… Reply

For an attack to be targeted it must be intentional; There is a stark difference between intentionally targeting civilians with purpose and shooting down a perceived F-14 or hitting the wrong building on a military base, to suggest otherwise is disingenuous.

Didn't have to happen… They've been in jeopardy for years, between Iran, it's allies and proxies, 17 major undersea cables have been attacked in the past 3 years; this genie has long since left the bottle.

Well, we are either two veterans who served their country putting their lives in jeopardy and can agree to disagree, or you are an armchair quarterback. Back to topic! Reply
