US military may put armed troops on commercial ships in Strait of Hormuz to stop Iran seizures

— " The US military is considering putting armed personnel on commercial ships traveling through the Strait of #Hormuz, in what would be an unheard of action aimed at stopping Iran from seizing and harassing civilian vessels, four American officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.

America didn’t even take the step during the so-called “Tanker War,” which culminated with the US Navy and Iran fighting a one-day naval battle in 1988 that was the Navy’s largest since World War II.

While officials offered few details of the plan, it comes as thousands of Marines and sailors on both the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan and the USS Carter Hall, a landing ship, are on their way to the Persian Gulf. Those Marines and sailors could provide the backbone for any armed guard mission in the strait, through which 20 percent of all the world’s crude oil passes."

(I really think I'm living in a parallel universe when reading these so called news) An interesting point:

— Recently, these incidents of harassment against American Forces and its direct allies have been happening more and more, in different intensities in parts of the globe by the so-called "Rogue States"

— Russian Air Force vs the USAAF #Drones + French Air Force in Syria
—à IRGC vs US Navy / Western-owned Oil tanks in Strait of #Hormuz
— North Korea vs US Air Force in Korean Peninsula
— PLA Navy vs US Navy near àPhilippines

This could have been part of a satire or comedy show trying to make shit up as it goes.
But it is freaking reality of our world where American and French think they have the right to be in the airspace of a country 1000 of kilometers from their borders, and those others are "rogueenations".

WTF doesn't even cover the feeling I have reading these utter nonsense. And the freaking reporters are stenographs of Pentagon and US state department propaganda byro.
