Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, September 06, 2026

US forces struck three Iranian crude oil tankers on Saturday after Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched ballistic missiles toward two US Navy warships in regional waters, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement. CENTCOM said a US aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer evaded multiple Iranian attacks and that no American personnel were harmed. In response, US forces "permanently disabled" the crude oil carriers M/T Downy off Iran's Kharg Island and M/T Stark 1 near Jask, according to the statement.

Good idea. For every innocent vessel the vermin attack, take out 2 of their tankers.

Pres Trump has said, multiple times, that the US has control of the Strait of Hormuz.

OK, before Pres Trump's war of choice against Iran, about 130 ships per day had transited the Strait.

How many ships now transit the Strait?

Maybe a dozen?


Why does Pres Trump seem to have to lie about the status of his unprovoked war against Iran?

And as a follow-up question --- why did Pres Trump tear up the nuclear agreement of Iran with the US, China, Russia and the EU during his first term? That led to Iran going from 6% or so enrichment to 60% or so enrichment of nuclear materials, exactly the opposite direction that Pres Trump now seems to be spouting.


What gives?
