The United Arab Emirates says its forces are responding to an Iranian drone and missile attack, with authorities in Fujairah reporting a fire at an oil facility.
Two missiles hit a US frigate in the Strait of Hormuz after it ignored warnings from Iran’s navy to halt, state media quote the army as saying, with the US military saying no vessel was struck.

1. Iran came back later and said it was a warning shot on the US ships

And they weren't hit

2. Ok

Oil facility attack is a real escalation

3. It had been hit previously

This is the pipeline and port that bypasses Hormuz.

6. That was before 'ceasefire'

9. Correct

5. War restarting?

A source tells CNN's reporter in Dubai that they expect US/Israeli strikes on Iran within the next 24 hours

4. I would doubt the veracity of Iran's claim

Knowing the US Navy has only one active frigate, and it is sail powered.

7. US got 2 ships through

150 ships used to get through daily and now we have to deploy half our Navy at a costs of $millions of dollars a day to get 2 ships through safely.

Complete disaster.

8. The US only has a handful of available ships capable of this type of escort duty and most aren't in the region

its just another smoke and mirrors ploy by a desperate fascist regime while another fascist regime sits back and makes lego vids about it.
