They kinda did better than Iraq. Saddam could never stop the US Navy outside HormuzNo mention that 3 or the 4 F-15Es destroyed were friendly fire.
Now a list of Iran's lost planes and ships please. 155 naval vessels, 190+ BM launchers, 6,000+ troops killed, 15,000+ troops wounded. Underground bases taken out, factories levelled....
The list is indeed a cope list, cope for Iran though. Ultimately they did no better than Iraq did in 1991.
Debatable, Hormuz is only 34km wide and some ship escorts through Hormuz have been conducted.They kinda did better than Iraq. Saddam could never stop the US Navy outside Hormuz
Also different geography. If Iraq was where Iran is, ships would not have been put in Hormuz in 1991.Debatable, Hormuz is only 34km wide and some ship escorts through Hormuz have been conducted.
U.S. forces “conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran… to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, CENTCOM’s chief spokesman told TWZ Monday evening. “Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
The U.S. government for decades has expressed concerns about China's proliferation of nuclear- and missile-related technologies to other countries, with recent focus on the threat of Chinese acquisition of U.S.-origin nuclear technology. (See CRS In Focus IF11050, New U.S. Policy Regarding Nuclear Exports to China.) Official U.S. government sources indicate that the Chinese government has ended its direct involvement in the transfer of nuclear- and missile-related items, but China-based companies and individuals continue to export goods relevant to those items, particularly to Iran and North Korea. U.S. officials also have raised concerns about entities operating in China that provide other forms of support for proliferation-sensitive activities, such as illicit finance and money laundering.
