Iran proved that the U.S. Navy can't escort tankers through the Straits of Hormuz

Trump is unlikely to resume 'Project Freedom' after three US Navy destroyers came under heavy attack by subsonic Iranian cruise missiles on Monday just like the USS Abraham Lincoln did on the first day of the war and had to use their Phalanx point defense system to shoot them down at point blank range. What most people don't realize is that Iran has yet to employ their supersonic and hypersonic antiship missiles and if they had wanted our three destroyers sunk they could have sunk them in the Persian Gulf very easily. Those slow missiles were Iran's equivalent of warning shots to give them a chance to vacate the Persian Gulf and yesterday they did. Iran's leaders are far from crazy but instead are acting with restraint showing they have escalation dominance over the US without actually escalating indicating they are sincere in wanting peace if Trump agrees to let them maintain control of the Persian Gulf and continue low level enrichment following a five-year suspension period.

What basically happened last night: They made it out! ➡️ Iran proved that the U.S. Navy can't escort tankers through the Straits of Hormuz Iran disincentivized future USN presence in the Persian Gulf by a strategy of low-intensity harassment fire & its willingness to escalate
