Plus there seems to be a dearth of new developments after Trump declared he was making a \u201cfinal determination\u201d in a Situation Room meeting about a peace deal  (which Iran has denied exists) and has been uncharacteristically quiet since then. This could be a harbinger of Bad Things but we do not know for sure yet. <\/p>\n<p>Having said that (do click through for the entire tweet), so far this is an isolated take, which does not make it wrong. Indeed,  those hits near Bandar Abbas could have been probes to identify Iranian defensive strategies\/asset location. Note that Chas Freeman early on identified the three islands listed below (which Iran took in the days of the Shah and whose ownership the UAE has contested) as feasible-to-capture with limited US forces. Freeman did not see a bigger strategic point save for making the UAE happy. Are these any better as bases for operations than the UAE proper for harassing Iran, or would the point be to act as a spoiler for Oman legitimating the Persian Gulf Authority by assisting from its side of the Strait of Hormuz?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FIGHT FOR STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS COMING: LT.

Iran had threatened to take out Gulf State energy infrastructure and desalination plants if the US hit its energy infrastructure or assets (in a non-trivial way). This sort of attack would not seem to fall into that bucket. <\/p>\n<p>Would Iran will sink or seriously damage US Navy vessels ex an aircraft carrier (presumably too many lives, too much toxic waste)? Or does Iran have the precision kit to destroy an aircraft carrier runway w\/o sinking it? That would be a neat trick. The best move, if it is in Iran\u2019s ability, would be to damage but not sink US vessels (ideally by disabling navigation or propulsion). A foundering  US ship would be yet another well-deserved humiliation. <\/p>\n<p>Below is a super-sized set of links to compensate.
