So, why hasn't Iran attacked the USS Michael Murphy that has been steaming through that strait for the last few days unimpeded?
For the First Time Since the Start of the War, a U.S. Destroyer Sails Near the Strait of Hormuz
Maritime navigation data from MarineTraffic show the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112) sailing through the Strait of Hormuz.

The destroyers USS Frank E Petersen (DDG 121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) have transited the Strait of Hormuz and are currently operating in the Arabian Gulf as part of a broader mission to ensure safe maritime passage through the vital waterway. The effort is reportedly focused on clearing...
US says two naval ships ‘transited’ Strait of Hormuz for mine-clearing
Negotiations are ongoing between US-Iranian delegations in Islamabad, with control of the strait a key sticking point.
Seems Iran hasn't got shit for swager here. All hat and no cattle as they say in Texas.

Iran claimed they'd charge for passage... $2 million USD IIRC... or a ship couldn't pass. Looks like that demand was nothing but bullshit.

Did that toll apply to US warships?
No, it did not.
Iran’s toll scheme has been aimed at commercial tankers and shipping (often requiring vetting, documentation, and selective payments, sometimes in yuan or crypto), not foreign warships. There is no precedent or mechanism for demanding tolls from U.S. Navy destroyers.
You seem remarkably ill-informed.

Hey, at least the Houthi had the balls to actually shoot at US warships over there in the Red Sea. Iran's all sack and talkin' smack.

That's odd, since I was recently assured that Iran is a nest of murderers.
There's a ceasefire, did you forget that already?So, why hasn't Iran attacked the USS Michael Murphy that has been steaming through that strait for the last few days unimpeded?

Just very sloppy and inefficient ones...
They don't want to get into a stand up fight with a destroyer. They'll sit on their ordinance until it can do them some good.
As previously noted, it's like none of you dingbats has even heard of asymmetric warfare.

You channeling Mahmoud now, Creepy Tits? You and your bedbug allies, Finger Boy and Duck's Dork seem to be all-in on Iran's side here. Maybe you should consider a change of domicile and nationality.

No, you twit. I'm talking reality.
They aren't going to waste their limited supply of munitions trying to fight an American destroyer. That's almost certainly a fight they cannot win and they aren't stupid.
They will save them for the tankers and such.
Why do you need something so obvious explained to you?

A matter of perspective.
Are you embarrassed because Iran hasn't killed nearly as many people as the other person claimed?
All MAGAts are liars or simply delusional. In this case, unless a JPP member supports committing genocide of Iranians or lesser war crimes, they are deemed "pro-Iranian" and a lefty.
This is why I have zero sympathy for what is coming down the pike for all MAGA morons. They are evil and domestic enemies of the Constitution.

Unlike Fat Boy, Terry claims to have served 20+ years and is a retired Electrician's Mate which, of course, makes him a better expert about the US military than all the generals and admirals in the Pentagon.

This is what Iran considers a "minelayer."
I really like that high tech, defense system it uses!
This is a minelayer
