U.S. President Donald Trump says he has ordered the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” small Iranian boats that deploy mines to choke traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
What’s funny is that in a war game done by us generals in the past for a situation with a war with Iran, this was the exact strategy the US general did at the time to defeat the US Navy - a bunch of small boarding vessels armed with bombs launched at boats and aircraft carriers in order to deplete their ammo (along with small slow moving mini subs with big explosives that would be missed by radar especially with the focus being on the slightly bigger cheaper surface boats).

This was in the 2000s if I remember right.
And yet, that exact mistake is being done now lol
Iran will prefer drone attacks today. They’ve also used a drone mini boat to set a Kuwait tanker on fire that probably sunk.
US navy is staying far away from SoH or Iran coast.
