U.S. warships cross Strait of Hormuz for first time since Iran war began

Barak Ravid  |  1 hr ago

Several U.S. Navy ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, a U.S. official told Axios.

Why it matters: The move was not coordinated with Iran. It is the first time U.S. warships crossed the strait since the beginning of the war.

  • The operation was aimed at increasing confidence for commercial ships to cross, sources say. It came as peace talks between the two sides kicked off in Pakistan.

  • "This was an operation that focused on freedom of navigation through International waters," the U.S. official said.

Driving the news: The official said the Navy ships crossed the strait from east to west to the Gulf, and then made their way back through the strait to the Arabian Sea.

  • The Iranian government reportedly called the crossing a ceasefire violation and threatened to attack the ships, per state media reports.

  • A U.S. official says the U.S. received no such warning.

The big picture: The reopening of the strait was a key provision in the U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal.

  • The narrow waterway off Iran's southern coast is vital to the normal functioning of the global economy. . . .

U.S. Forces Start Mine Clearance Mission in Strait of Hormuz

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began setting conditions for clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, April 11, as two U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers conducted operations.
USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) transited the Strait of Hormuz and operated in the Arabian Gulf as part of a broader mission to ensure the strait is fully clear of sea mines previously laid by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

“Today, we began the process of establishing a new passage and we will share this safe pathway with the maritime industry soon to encourage the free flow of commerce,” said Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM.
The Strait of Hormuz is an international sea passage and an essential trade corridor that supports regional and global economic prosperity. Additional U.S. forces, including underwater drones, will join the clearance effort in the coming days.

US forces launch mine clearance mission in Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM says

U.S. Central Command announced Saturday that its forces began setting conditions for clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz as negotiations are ongoing between the U.S. and Iran in Pakistan.

“USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) transited the Strait of Hormuz and operated in the Arabian Gulf as part of a broader mission to ensure the strait is fully clear of sea mines previously laid by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

“Today, we began the process of establishing a new passage and we will share this safe pathway with the maritime industry soon to encourage the free flow of commerce,” added Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM.

This is the first time U.S. guided-missile destroyers have crossed the Strait of Hormuz since the war with Iran began. 

The USS Frank E. Peterson and the USS Michael Murphy were previously in the Arabian Sea before crossing the Strait.

CENTCOM described the Strait of Hormuz Saturday as “ an international sea passage and an essential trade corridor that supports regional and global economic prosperity.”

“Additional U.S. forces, including underwater drones, will join the clearance effort in the coming days,” it said.

Iran's supreme leader severely disfigured by US strikes: report

Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is severely disfigured after suffering leg and face injuries as a result of joint U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Tehran in February, Reuters reported Saturday.

Khamenei is recovering after incurring the injuries in the February 28 airstrikes that killed his father, former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei. He has not been seen publicly since being hospitalized.

Despite the injuries, Khamenei allegedly remains "mentally sharp," Reuters reported, citing a trio of anonymous sources within his inner circle. The new supreme leader is in communication with the Iranian delegation in Pakistan for peace talks with a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance.

The Reuters report corroborates an earlier statement from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who told reporters on March 13 that Khamenei was "likely disfigured."

He then reiterated the claim in a Thursday press conference while outlining the U.S. military's achievements in Iran.

"Their top leadership was systematically eliminated, their previous Iranian supreme leader dead, the supreme national security council secretary dead, the supreme leader office advisor dead, the supreme leader military office chief dead, the defense minister no longer with us, the IRGC commander dead, the armed forces general staff commander dead, the intelligence minister dead, the IRGC navy commander no longer here, the IRGC Intel chief dead," Hegseth listed.

I have no idea what the result will be from the US-Iran peace talks.  But I do know this: (1) Iran will claim complete victory; (2) the Democrats and the Legacy Media will happily repeat Iran’s claim as true; (3) it will not be true.

Small problem.

Bibi wasn’t Prime Minister when Bush was president.  Sharon and Olmert were. 

Kerry made this up out of whole cloth.

Fun fact: Within Iran, Ghalibaf is known as a serial loser, one of the most unpopular people there.

He ran for presidency 4 times, losing every time:
🔸2005: Lost to Ahmadinejad
🔸2013: Lost to Rouhani
🔸2017: Lost to Rouhani
🔸2024: Lost to Pezeshkian (receiving 14% only!)

Iran allowed a pair of Chinese supertankers carrying oil for the Chinese energy giant Sinopec to cross through the Strait of Hormuz today -Reuters

An additional Liberia-flagged tanker also crossed.

Prove it! SHOW ME! It's a bullshit bluff.

 IRGC Navy warns <- there is NO IRGC Navy. The IRGC Navy is currently resting at the bottom of the ocean.

The captains and crew know they could easily sail through. The issue is the insurance companies are supporting Iran and will not insure theam

According to sources familiar with the details of the talks between Iran and the United States - Behind the scenes, the talks are focused almost entirely on one issue: money.

According to those sources, the Iranians are demanding the immediate release of frozen funds totaling more than 7 billion dollars, held in Qatar and additional countries.

In addition, they are seeking permission to sell oil without sanctions, receive economic compensation, and secure a rapid flow of cash.  At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz has become Iran’s central bargaining chip.

They are demanding control and revenue from transit through it.  The severe economic distress is also the reason why very senior financial officials are involved in the talks - including the Governor of Iran’s Central Bank or equivalent high level figures.

On the American side, a tough line is being taken with significant pressure applied, but sources say the final outcome is still unclear and ultimately depends on President Trump’s decision.

Meanwhile, Gulf states are in constant contact with the United States and are applying heavy pressure not to agree to Iranian demands - especially regarding Hormuz and sanctions relief.

Lebanon is barely being discussed in the talks - the Iranians are currently focused on economic survival.

In that case, money is the absolutely last thing they should be given.  And the strait should be opened up with US Navy escorts just so Iran can't collect fees from whatever Chinese or Indian ship that passes through.

@BabakTaghvaee1

BREAKING: A military delegation headed by IRGC generals—including commanders of the IRGC Aerospace Force, the Navy, and the Quds Force—has arrived in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, to take part in the U.S.-Iran negotiations. They may meet their American counterparts, including Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM.

Three aircraft were used for the transportation: business jets of the IRGC Aerospace Force operated by Puya Air—a Mitsubishi CRJ-200ER (EP-PUA), a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 (EP-PUB), and a third aircraft whose identity remains unknown. This aircraft landed at PAF Nur Khan.

I read this as the IRGC not trusting the politicians who are negotiating with the Americans over cash.  Any funds the politicians get unfrozened wiil immediately make their way into Swiss accounts that the politicians control.  The new IRGC arrivals are there to make sure that doesn't happen.

We are negotiating because of Trump. Winning isn't enough for Trump. He is obsessed with 'making a deal'.
America was on the edge of total victory when Trump told them to STOP so he could "make a deal" instead.

Why? Who knows?
It is in his DNA or something. I just hope he goes back to kicking Iran's ass after he and JD get tired of playing patty-cake with them.

Iran does not negotiate. They never have and they never will. Trump is not special to Iran. He is just another stupid Infidel to be exploited.
