What an odd headline. US wages war on Iran, Iran closes waters near area attacked… Axios delivered propaganda

    They don't need a navy to shut down oil trade. Their navy was outdated and practically useless to being with. This is war propaganda.

    So akin to Pearl Harbor. Got it.

    This lacks to many historical similarities to even be considered in the same vein.

    If you are trying to make a snarky reference to the US pulling a dastardly war on Iran to cover the Cheeto-in-Chief's pedo background, then I understand but Pearl Harbor was sophisticated, well planned, incredibly executed, and a real surprise to the US (mostly). This is about the opposite, with telegraphed warnings to US citizen to get out of Israel Friday, let alone two carrier groups moving into place, and multiple discussion about Trump doing exactly this in the weeks leading up to this. Let alone that the naval decap is an adjunct of the primary strikes on the leaders...

    I get the anger, but no.
