@reparkable They’re just sailors operating the ships. If stories are going to frame it in a way meant to convey firepower then it should be planes on carriers, missiles on boats, and any infantry deployed. Otherwise it sounds like 10,000 more infantry showed up to the average reader.

Headlines about the number of troops now in theater after the arrival of additional ships are framed in a way that gives the average reader the false impression that an invasion of Iran is imminent or likely. It’s sensational and fails to point out that it’s not an invasion force

حاولت أمس سفينة شحن ترفع العلم الإيراني الالتفاف على الحصار الأمريكي، وذلك بعد مغادرتها ميناء بندر عباس، وخروجها من مضيق هرمز، ومضيها بمحاذاة الساحل الإيراني. وقد نجحت المدمرة الأمريكية المزودة بصواريخ موجهة يو أس أس سبروانس (DDG 111) في تغيير مسار السفينة، والتي توجهت عائدة إلى إيران. تم حتى الآن إجبار عشر سفن على العودة أدراجها، بينما لم تنجح أي سفينة في اختراق الحصار منذ بدء تطبيقه من قِبَل الولايات المتحدة يوم الاثنين الماضي.

Today, as part of Economic Fury, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned an oil smuggling network run by Iranian shipping magnate Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani, the son of now-deceased senior Iranian security official Ali Shamkhani. OFAC today also sanctioned targets related to a complex Hizballah gold scheme that ultimately benefits Iran’s military. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
