Looks like the war with Iran is cooking off

[quintessentone]

Look at the American claim to have "destroyed the Iranian Navy". Yet the Straits of Hormuz still remain closed. So, the US is still destroying Iranian boats... but, wait a damned minute... if the US has already destroyed the Iranian Navy, how is it they can still find Iranian boats to blow up?

Answer: someone is being lied to some where... and in this case, it's us Americans being lied to. Some times, you have to read between the lines to get closer to the truth.

Explanation: Here is a somewhat credible comparison of Iranian Versus USA naval power breakdown that I went and searched for online to answer your question!

But it doesn't answer the question fully as it doesn't detail all the small inflatable Zodiac speedboats that the Iranians might still possess, that can be used to swarm a far larger vessel with. And being armed with RPG7's etc. that may be an ongoing threat to Naval security in the Gulf of Hormuz currently! 

Personal Disclosure: By my mere reckoning , I would guestimate that most of the major ships of Iran's Navy are now mostly sunk beyond recognition and that the danger lies in these far smaller vessels that are not worthy of mentioning as Iran's official Naval Capacity, but still do exist as a current and present danger to shipping in those Straits. 

I heard an ex-military expert say their missiles can bomb targets anywhere within the region, so why do they need ships? Although those small speed boats (and I also heard they might use seadoo-type attack craft too) would be difficult to hit, would they not?

On the subject of Iranians being Iranian in America. it may prove interesting to discover who has been shooting up America today. There's always the chance it was just random Americans I suppose, and that they were just shooting us up because it's Thursday, and that's just what one does on Thursdays - shoot up Americans.

The last three incidents ... all Muslims with foreign influence.

The Synagogue ... A Lebanese who was naturalized and lives in Dearborn MI  (so Muslim).
Old Dominion .... Another naturalized citizen from a Muslim country (forgot the country) and his name is Muhommad.
Yesterday NYC .... two Muslims yelling Allah Akbar, throwing bombs, and saying ISIS inspired them.  One of them the parents were from a Muslim country and now are naturalized US citizens.

Do you have sources that we can scrutinize?

Although why wouldn't anyone expect backlash when your country and Israel started a war with a Muslim country?

The backlash could be against Israel and/or USA, but with the propaganda these days it's difficult to tread through the muck.
