@RadarFennec It's not as high priority as virginias or ohios at Norfolk, and there's no spare slots.

@LTsarcasm Oh God this isn't even the ship that had the run in with an underwater mountain.
What the hell is going on.

Over a decade pierside... huge amounts of money just to keep it afloat waiting on a real overhaul, just being scrapped.

Navy to Inactivate Attack Boat USS Boise After $1.6B Repair Effort — USNI News news.usni.org/2026/04/10/nav…

I'd like to add: there's no evidence of there being any mines at all - and the Iranian published map of 'mine danger' includes Omani waters that multiple ships have safely transited by the Musandam peninsula.
This is just them stringing our dopes along.

BREAKING: Iran cannot currently open the Strait of Hormuz because it "cannot find" some of the mines it placed, US officials say
English
@TheMachine7253 @FaytuksNetwork It's not as simple as Israeli Jews vs Arab Muslims - the GCC countries are mostly Sunni or Ibadi, who DO NOT MIX with Twelver Shia in Iran... who also aren't Arabs.
Even in a world without Israel, the GCC and Iran would not be friends and would be frosty rivals at best.
English
@TheMachine7253 @FaytuksNetwork They have firm diplomatic agreements and attempting to eject our bases would be utter suicide. The entire oil economy and most tourism goes via USD and they would be instantly de-dollarized.
And Iran isn't their friend, as much as a minority of the locals may be upset.

NEW: Refusing to ship Saudi and Emirati oil through the strait while it is under Iranian control—in a way, an informal oil embargo—would transfer the costs of this problem onto other nations, and force them to intervene, some Gulf officials calculate - WSJ
English
@TheMachine7253 @FaytuksNetwork They have gone out of their way to not defend those bases or otherwise join the war.
It is not possible for them to just eject the bases without them going to war with us.
So yes, they are maximally fence-sitting.
English
@LTsarcasm @FaytuksNetwork Fence sitting? The missiles hitting Iran have come from the US bases in their territories. They are firmly on the side of the Epstein usurpers.

@9M728 USN does triage by ship capability, so a 688i like Boise gets to wait behind the Ohios and Virginias.
and with the growing backlog that slot just never existed.
English
@9M728 There's an enormous maintenance backlog and a good deal of ships that aren't really serviceable technically 'in service' to pump the numbers.
Like the non-refurbished Ticos.
English
For reference, Boise has been trying to get in for refit/overhaul at Norfolk since 2015. The $1.6B spent so far has been with private work just to keep her intact enough so they could eventually do the overhaul

Brother not only chooses the tank instead of the fueler, he slams into the turret cheek instead of the roof or the hull roof. Like, dead-on into the thickest part of the turret array.
... please, for the love of all that is holy, learn some basics first.
OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical
Hezbollah drone pilots appear to be a bit inexperienced, notably missing the fuel tanker parked right alongside the tank.
English
@markvalorian @Osinttechnical In this location, it'll do nothing but cause some annoyances to repair.
English
@Osinttechnical Does it even do anything to the tank to hit it with a small drone explosive on what seems like a hardened/armored surface?

Footage of a Hezbollah FPV drone strike on an Israeli Merkava Mk.4 MBT in southern Lebanon earlier this week.

@CosmicGooose @markvalorian @Osinttechnical Those aren't slamming into turret cheeks, which are the most heavily armored part.

@NotWoofers If anyone uses an "ad-blocker" to remove ads from YouTube *PLEASE* be careful. There have been numerous cases of the ad-blocker being malware.

I recommend that everyone stop spending money on this. Especially if they’re using it purely for having no ads, which you can avoid using multiple free and easily-downloaded programs. Use that money on other things like donations, paying down any of your debts, or maybe a bottle of wine.

@noahgendas @MarkAmesExiled I think he thought it was a proposal/negotiating point and not the facts on the ground.
I don't think his advisors are telling him even half of what's actually going on.

@MarkAmesExiled Didn’t he say the tolls would be a joint venture like a day ago? Lmao

@nafo_boi @jekekesr @Osinttechnical But we don't import 100% unlike many places.
I said we feel it less, not *not at all*. And look what it gets, the UAE bombed one of the Iranian refineries today.
They're pissing off the entire neighborhood to... mostly annoy us.
English
@LTsarcasm @jekekesr @Osinttechnical "The US will feel it less, because reasons"
😂😂
You not understanding global trade networks and supply and demand doesn't make those things not exist.
You don't seem to comprehend just how much oil-related shit you import, from the cheapest plastic components to your fertilizer.

Iranian state media says that if the US targets Iran's power plants, Iran will target oil infrastructure across the Gulf, including the Saudi port of Yanbu, ARAMCO oil facilities, and the Fujairah oil pipeline.
"Iran will not hesitate to impose heavy costs on the United States."
