Seeking to reassure jittery global markets and several oil tankers currently reversing course at full speed, the Defense Department announced Thursday that Iranian mines scattered throughout the Strait of Hormuz are “clearly marked” by helpful indicators including floating debris, columns of fire, and the occasional secondary explosion.
According to defense officials, the debris field created by earlier explosions has effectively formed a “natural warning system,” guiding ships away from the most dangerous portions of the strait.
“In many ways, the system is self-organizing,” the spokesperson explained.
It doesn’t even seem like satire anymore. Even the official “propaganda” coming out of the US State department is comically bad in the funniest sad sort of way.
It is funny, but tragic too, and they will turn this against us at home too. We’ve to find a way to stop them.
