US strikes Iranian fast boats as Iran attacks UAE oil facility

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump says the US has struck seven Iranian "fast boats" in the Strait of Hormuz, as Washington seeks to guide stranded ships out of the Gulf through the largely closed waterway.

The UAE and South Korea both reported strikes on ships in the vital channel on Monday. The UAE also said a fire broke out at the oil port of Fujairah after an Iranian attack.

Shipping company Maersk told the BBC that one of its US-flagged vessels had successfully exited the strait with US military protection - under what Trump has called "Project Freedom".

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that events in the strait "make clear that there's no military solution to a political crisis".

1. There's a lot going on over there right now.

It's hard to find good and accurate news.

I think Maersk got a ship through.

And I think Iran is attacking the UAE.

Also, Iran claimed to have struck a
USA warship, which Trump denies.

2. Iran said they struck 2 warships....

Frigates which I don’t believe the US even operates. At the end of the day, if a US ship gets hit, there is no keeping it secrets. Thousands of sailors would know immediately and their is no keeping a lid on that.
