It appears the “wait until the Hajj is over” theory was right:
US Navy Central Command just issued a critical warning to all ships in the Strait of Hormuz that major US military operations will soon be conducted there.
The notice cites Iran’s “dangerous and illegal mining.” It makes clear US forces have been placed on “high alert for Iranian attack” anticipating retaliation.
The Notice says “Any vessel obstructing the operation or “supporting mine-laying activities WILL BE TARGETED BY U.S. FORCES.”
The same type of warning was issued on June 11, 2025, with the Twelve Day War starting the next day.
What sort of magic bullet do they think they have this time?
