The US military has destroyed all Iranian ships in the Gulf of Oman. They had eleven in the Gulf, and now they have none. One of President Trump’s four objectives was to destroy Iran’s navy, and it looks like the US intends to do exactly that. The Iranian Navy had 90 ships, including submarines, destroyers, and frigates.

Two days ago, the Iranian regime had 11 ships in the Gulf of Oman; today, they have ZERO. The Iranian regime has harassed and attacked international shipping in the Gulf of Oman for decades. Those days are over. Freedom of maritime navigation has underpinned American and global economic prosperity for more than 80 years. U.S. forces will continue to defend it.
That will do wonders for global shipping.
Iran has nothing in the way of an air force to protect the ships.

History repeating: Stephen Decatur (1779–1820) was a renowned U.S. Naval officer who became a national hero for his daring actions against Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean. Iran acted as pirates.
Speaking of pirates: Are the Somalis next? (including those in the USA looting hundreds of millions of government funds to send to Ilhan Omar’s friend Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. And then there are the real on water pirates he supports.
