U.S. Sub Sinks Iranian Warship to Protect Shipping
This is the question every admiral in the Pentagon was asking early this week that the media hasn’t covered. There is outrage in anti-Trump circles after a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship because it looked like an unfair fight. While weak and incapable compared to a U.S. Navy submarine, that warship was armed and fully capable of destroying unarmed merchant ships. Were they loading up to sink a supertanker? A massive containership? Did the U.S. Navy have intelligence suggesting they would? We may never know. But I am certain that preventing that possibility was part of the calculus for why the Navy sank that warship.
