So, it takes 2 weeks for an anonymous leak that a ship carrying US marines was struck by an Iranian missile

This begs MANY questions

Why were marines on a non-naval ship?

Is the administration aware that putting fighting soldiers on a commercial vessel for military operations is illegal?

Do they care?

Note that this certainly was a fairly large ship since an anti-ship missile would blow a smaller vessel to smithereens

That may just be their unit designation not necessarily an operation designation
