Intelligence indicates that the Iranian regime is using its terror proxy groups to conduct attacks on ships operating in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical Persian Gulf shipping lane that has become the center of international tensions as Tehran seeks to foment instability in reaction to President Donald Trump's efforts to strangle the hardline regime.
U.S. intelligence collected over the past month had indicated that Iran has been installing missiles on small vessels in the Gulf region. Tehran is relying on a large network of terror proxies and allies to attack not only commercial vessels in the region, but also U.S. military assets stationed there.
Iran has a long history of conducting terror attacks in this manner, fueling worry in the Trump administration that Tehran could carry out a large-scale attack via its terror networks. In just the past two years, Iran has been identified as being responsible for at least 143 attacks against shipping vessels in the Gulf, according to expert analyses of the ongoing tensions in the region.

It seems Iran want a spanking...
We should have taken care of all this when the Shah first went into exile. Nations courted him and his billions as royalty and we just let the Ayatollah take over. Now we basically have a volatile irrational tribal nation with nuclear capabilities. American opportunists made billions in these back desert nations just for the oil and now look at the mess. They all want to be first world powers. We just let all these things manifest because it was profitable for a few elite and dynastic industrialists. Talk about a Game of Thrones.
First sign of hostility from Iran and lets send a couple cruise missiles right up the ayatollah's ass.
