Check out the Twitter feed of the current President. 52 sites selected to represent the 52 US hostages. Some selected for their cultural importance. I mean that's a war crime, but I guess I don't see any grand escalation either. :Roll:

Well I'm just glad that level-headed people not prone to impulsive scattershot decisions are in charge

Published September of 2010. Is still a good read and I think it reveals what is going on now has much more to do with than just Iran. Especially when you consider the vast majority of oil shipping through the straits is destined for a certain particular Asian market. This situation we see today unfolding has been long in the making.

^ Now that is scary
When Trump's will (is that the same what the US really want?) is to drive the whole Middle East into China's arms, he is doing a good job. After all Iran has done nothing else than it did years before, so why now this attack? Wasn't pulling out of the nuclear deal enough to destabilize for now? Trump "foresaw" (lol) Obama starting a war to win a second election. Didn't happen. Maybe Trump thinks it may help him. Domestic political problems use to get out of medial focus with a real war Only that this Scrotus is a gambler, and what happens if he loses.

The Royal Navy have a meagre two warships on station in the Strait of Hormuz (HMS Montrose frigate and the HMS Defender destroyer) to help protect the flow of oil should they be necessary.
It would be nice if our European allies would also contribute.
