Not only do we have gas shortages on the East Coast because our infrastructure was hacked AND a terrorism war against Israel underway, Iran is now challenging US ships in the Strait of Hormuz and forcing them to fire many warning shots to keep them at bay:
BREAKING: Earlier today the US Coast Guard Cutter Maui fired 30 warning shots from a 50 caliber machine gun after a group of 13 IRGC Navy fast boats "conducted unsafe and unprofessional maneuvers" while operating close to a US naval formation in the Strait of Hormuz, Kirby says

** Correction – this should be the USS Georgia. Please excuse my fast fingers.

Pressed on the incident, Kirby says the number of IRGC boats involved is "certainly more than we've seen in the recent past," calls it "significant" and notes it occurred in an "international chokepoint waterway"

Kirby says DOD does not know to what extent the government in Tehran was involved in the command and the control of the incident

It’s the second time in two weeks a U.S. warship fired warning shots at Iranian gunboats.
The last incident on April 26 marked the first time in nearly four years.

Kirby doesn’t know if the Iranian government was involved? Do they think anything like this happens in Iran without their consent? How naive can one be???
Boy this Biden presidency has really gotten off to a great start. What more could go wrong – NEVERMIND! Forget I asked that.
