U.S. Just Did Something BRUTAL To Unlock Hormuz …
MANAMA, Bahrain — The strategy was decades in the making, designed to hold the global economy hostage through a thousand paper cuts. It relied on a swarm of blisteringly fast attack boats, hidden coastal missile batteries, and miniature submarines lurking in the shallow, murky floor of the world’s most critical chokepoint. Yet, when the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sprung its asymmetric trap in the Strait of Hormuz, it did not paralyze the West. Instead, it triggered a swift, multi-layered conventional response from the United States that has systematically dismantled Iran’s maritime operational capability.
By positioning an overwhelming armada of 20 major warships at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the U.S. military did something brutal: it turned Iran’s geographic advantage into a shooting gallery. Through synchronized, network-centric strikes, the U.S. Fifth Fleet effectively neutralized Tehran’s naval assets, opening the strategic waterway and leaving Iran’s highly touted “mosquito fleet” blind, broken, and largely at the bottom of the sea.
