U.S. Marines depart amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA 7) by helicopter and transit over the Arabian Sea to board and seize M/V Touska. The Marines rappelled onto the Iranian-flagged vessel, April 19, after guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG 111) disabled Touska’s propulsion when the commercial ship failed to comply with repeated warnings from U.S. forces over a six-hour period.
@NoahMisha84242@CENTCOM How dumb can you be. If Iran won't let ships freely travel, then the US won't let ships leaving Iranian ports freely travel. Open the straits to all shipping and the US will do the same for Iranian ships.
@CENTCOM You clearly don't appreciate the damage you're doing to yourselves. The world is watching a cowardly nation attempt to seem formidable, but by attacking a cargo ship, you solidify our belief that Iran has the upper hand and you know it. This was a foolish, reckless move.
@markcrathbun@CENTCOM No, we are strong arming a regime that kills their citizens if they disagree with the regime. The citizens of Iran are slaves to the regime. This year they have killed over 30,000 of their own citizens for disagreeing with them. It's time to get rid of the dictators.
@CENTCOM What is amazing is that you appeal to double digit iqs that believe it is macho strong arming a nation whose military has been destroyed according to your commander in chief.
@krisbat53@CENTCOM No, it's not a game show, it's a war and when we see America is winning the war and achieving our objectives, we are happy. I remember seeing videos of cheering crowds all over the countries when we won WWII.
@CENTCOM Why are we making advertisements about military operations? Unnecessary fluffing and chest beating. This isn’t a game show. Stop acting like it is.
@TronjesHagen@CENTCOM If Iran, Hezbollah and Hama put down their weapons the Middle East would be at peace. If Israel put down their weapons they would be annihilated. That tells you who the aggressors are.
@CENTCOM You show Iran one important thing:
Without a nuclear weapon Iran will never live in peace!
Iran needs a nuclear weapon - and i hope, that they will get this as soon as possible!
@franyafranya@CENTCOM Iran broke the cease fire by firing on cargo vessels transversing the straits. They had agreed to open the strait, but it appears the IRGC didn't agree with the negotiated settlement. They took control. The US countered and won't let Iranian ships leave as well.
@CENTCOM Idiots!!!! You broke the ceasefire, blasted the engine room. And now no US vessel is safe. This is the stupidest operation I have ever seen in my entire life.
@BigOunce_the2st@CENTCOM@lookner It doesn't matter what's on the ship. If Iran won't let ships through then the US won't let Iranian ships leave either. This ship refused to turn around so they simply disabled it.
@CENTCOM@lookner Oh wow! You fucking retards captured a single Iranian cargo ship with no defenses? You’re so big and strong I bet your own mother doesn’t regret giving birth to you!
@ChocoYorky@CENTCOM Iran has no authority to control the straits. The straits mare inter5national waters free for any country to transit without interference. No one needs Iranian approval to transit the straits.
@CENTCOM But the Iranians have always made it perfectly clear that the Straits are open to those who receive permission from them to transit. Why are America escalating this war?
@CENTCOM@RapidResponse47 However, directly boarding an Iranian-flagged vessel after disabling it would be extremely escalatory and almost certainly trigger immediate responses from Iranian Navy and global media coverage.
@Chase1714898326@CENTCOM Sorry but the trade route isn't theirs. By international law the trade route is open to all nations without interference from any country. Iran has tried to close it. It isn't theirs to close.
@CENTCOM The US can release all the footage they want it doesn’t change the fact that they are violating a commercial vessel's sovereignty. If the roles were reversed, Washington would call this an act of war. Iran has every right to defend its trade routes from this blatant aggression.
@Bhiig_s@CENTCOM@zerohedge There is no double standard. They told Iran if you do not let ships through the Strait then no Iranian ships will be allowed to leave as well. They warned the ship for 6 hours to turn around and go back. The ship refused to turn around so they disabled it.
Flip the roles—if an Iranian warship disabled a U.S.-linked commercial vessel and rappelled onto it, the reaction would be outrage and talk of aggression. That double standard is what makes incidents like this controversial: the same act gets labeled “security enforcement” or “provocation” depending on who’s doing it.
@Velvetvignette1 Out of all the replies so far there is only one that would consider voting for her and that appears to be a person with extreme TDS controlling their vote.

Your best chance of having a woman president was Hillary Clinton and that time has come and gone. Nobody is going to elect anyone who is as radical as AOC let alone a woman. 🤷♂️
@Tenelachicity@RichardERoeper I’m an NFL fan and I have no interest in watching Bad Bunny after hearing his political rant. I have other things I can do during halftime.
@RichardERoeper Puhleeze... all the NFL fans can't wait to see that twink prancing around in a dress during halftime. Goodell has a shirtless picture of Bad Bunny in his shower.
If you say you’re boycotting the NFL over the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show, what you’re really saying is you didn’t boycott the NFL the last three times you said you were boycotting the NFL.
