Iran says it can't open Strait of Hormuz yet because it can't find all the MINES they put in it

How did they find the mines before the US bombed the shit out of land targets? :shrug:

If they can't be trusted with mines, then how can they be trusted with nukes?

We all know that they cannot be trusted period! Negotiating with those that went to destroy America and kill all Americans is futile, ridiculous and an absolute waste of time.

By the same token though... It's hard to go collect your mines when all you have left of your navy is two guys in a rowboat...  :shrug: :whistle:

If their mines have drifted off, can't be found, and are still a threat to shipping, Iran has committed a war crime.

We can just add that to the ever growing list.
