The US will bolster its defensive posture with heightened patrols in the Persian Gulf after destabilizing actions by Iran this past month to interfere with and seize commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz and other strategic waterways, according to a US National Security Council spokesperson.
“[The] United States will not allow foreign or regional powers to jeopardize freedom of navigation through the Middle East waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz,” National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told reporters on Friday, adding that there is “simply no justification” for Iranian actions to interfere, harass or attack merchant ships.

If the US really wanted to fight Iran they would have done it long ago. This is just window dressing. That having been said the US might still find itself in a major war soon if something happens.
As always, the us is reacting instead of acting.

It seems that way yes.. Obviously there's stuff going on that we don't know about, but the optics on the "US" does not paint a pretty picture. It's like the "US" marketing team is high on its own farts.
The resistance is strong.
Inshallah, the heroes of the IRGC and Hezbollah will prevail!
Fatso Pompeo's "maximum pressure" has failed completely.
1:41.
No worries, but the resistance is full of idiots.
But the US is even more idiotic that it has backed some of these regimes and movements.
Don't remember do you?
Who backed the removal of the Shah by not supporting him?
Who launched operation TIMBER SYCAMORE?
Who tore apart Lybia by formenting Arab spring?
Last but not least. Who originally trained and supported the mujahadin in Afghanistan?
Like I said..the bigger idiot.
But all men are created equal, right?
All cultures are equal, right?
If it was not for the West, the Arabs would still be living in tents and pissing blood.
1:41 The USA will always kill Iranian terrorists and their puppets with great support from the US people, who have never forgotten the vile Iranian takeover of the US Embassy there in 1979, as well as the Munich massacre during the 1972 Olympics. All this and countless other terrorist attacks has made the West realize the Islamic terrorists are like rabid dogs who must be destroyed for the safely of all.
The heroes of resistance will use the means at their disposal to fight Western gangster imperialism.
One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. Hezbollah and the IRGC defend freedom. Inshallah, they fight to victory!
bwaahaha!
