The USS Mason used its five-inch and .50-caliber guns Thursday to repel its second Strait of Hormuz attack this week, defense officials said.
The Bath-built, Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, along with the USS Truxton and USS Rafael Peralta, was attacked by Iranian missiles, drones and small boats.
The U.S. military’s Central Command confirmed the attacks in a statement and said the U.S. military responded with “self-defense strikes” on Iranian facilities, including drone and missile launch sites.
The U.S. vessels were not struck, CENTCOM said.”They trifled with us today,” President Trump said. “We blew them away.”
Blast um so hard there are no pieces left to find .
Let the fish have what’s left .
You can’t leave a stain on top of the water .
Get it done .
Nothing like broadcasting where our ships are built, so the enemy has an updated target list for when the nukes start flying. The bright side is that 80% of the casualties will be illegals……the other 20% will probably be gone by then…….
Hahahaha!
Trump is desperately ordering the US navy to commit acts of piracy in Venezuela, Cuba and The Persian Gulf. Now the idiot thinks it’s a win to defend itself in open waters that were not contested before he alone launched a war of choice against the Persians.
Iran is not seeking a nuke, but they should. N Korea and Pakistan offered Iran one. Iran turned it down. Iran already has nuke insp to ensure they don’t have weapons grade nukes curtesy of Obama. 18 US intelligence agencies say Iran doesn’t have or want nukes.
Persian gulf open and free before dumb dumb Trump thought America was mightiest ever. Now Gulf is “closed” or pay a fee like Suez and Panama Canal Remember how it was open before Trumps war of choice?
Hahahaha!
