Iran is saying they were threatened with a 30-minute warning, and then chased off after a drone was sent their way.
Both sides heavily propagandize their communications and are happy to lie to support a narrative, so we probably won't know which version is actually true anytime soon.

Maybe.
The destroyers would be in the Gulf which potentially would be better placed to support a strike on kharg island. Or they contain the troops for invasion.
Edit:
of course they would also be sitting ducks for drone attacks too.
2
SeaEstablishment8947Apr 12, 2026
+3
The Kharg island narrative is a non story anyways. If the U.S. takes over the island, Iran will just raise the toll.
The U.S. can’t cover the whole strait. It’s the size of Dallas to NY. It’s a lot of f****** territory to cover with anti air.
3
Rent-a-guruApr 12, 2026

If the US takes Kharg Island, they take Iran's oil exports offline completely. I suspect Iran's response would be to take the rest of the gulf states' oil infrastructure out, to mine the Strait of Hormuz properly, and get the Houthis to close the Red Sea. It would be an economic shock at least twice as bad as the worst we've seen so far.
4
Gecks777Apr 12, 2026
+5
I would have to assume Iran would just destroy all of the infrastructure on Kharg Island immediately, right? I believe the US can take it, sure, but I don't see a scenario where they comfortably hold it and keep the infrastructure intact.
Even if Iran doesn't have the whole shebang wired with explosives and ready to blow (although, in their shoes, I can imagine why I wouldn't have set all that up by now), it seems implausible that the US can take the island, flatten every hidden artillery battery in range, and throw up an anti-air shield strong enough to swat down every drone and missile coming their way indefinately. Whatever way I slice it, even a perfectly successful assault ends up with an island full of burning scrap metal and dead marines.

giants707Apr 12, 2026

Well then iran gets nothing right? Even if US withdraws, they would have no infrastructure to export. Its lose-lose to iran.
2
Gecks777Apr 12, 2026
+2
But the US also gains nothing and would lose military resources and lives, and suffer along with everyone else from the worldwide economic damage.
That's why the idea of a ground attack on Kharg Island is so strange. It doesn't seem to have any strategic or even propaganda value.
2
Bored2001Apr 12, 2026
+2
>I would have to assume Iran would just destroy all of the infrastructure on Kharg Island immediately, right?
I don't see why they would do that. They'd just turn off the upstream infrastructure that feeds the island. It's not like the island's infrastructure is useful without oil actively going to it.
I don't see Iran blowing up the infrastructure themselves. It would mean they can't recapture it later.
2
Bored2001Apr 12, 2026
+2
It's my understanding that shaheds don't have active guidance, or at least not too much active guidance. They need a spot where the ships are slow moving in order to have a good chance of striking it over the time from launch to hit. That's why they used mines to push the tankers to an even narrower and slower part of the strait.
As for kharg island, taking it is probably not strategically useful. But hey, can't say this admin is good at strategy.
2
SeaEstablishment8947Apr 12, 2026

All oil tankers are slow moving. There’s also the whole infrastructure on GCC side. There’s no “winning” here for Trump. There are some targets that can be destroyed but unless they can destroy every single drone factory then there will be problems. It’s completely asymmetry war that cannot be “won”.
3
BestFriendWatermelonApr 12, 2026

No.
This is exactly the problem... The goal is to move oil tankers through the strait, and that only happens when a deal has been reached. Moving destroyers makes a deal even less likely.
Trump is making out that these destroyers will give tankers confidence that the US can protect their ships from attack. But tanker operators don't sail on confidence, they sail on letters from their insurers. And their insurers say that sailing with a US destroyer e***** makes you more of a target, not less, and as such they won't insure it.
A fully loaded tanker takes 3 miles to come to a halt. Tactically speaking they may as well be stationary. As well as being an enormous target, the IRGC trains to use tankers as cover so their speedboat swarms can get in close to US warships. So the entire notion of oil tankers transiting the strait without a rock solid peace agreement is absurd.

These lies are going to make it very difficult for normal traffic to start flowing again through the strait. For oil and insurance companies won't feel confident enough to take either country's word on the matter.
In the end, if both countries don't completely align on what next steps are. Then I would assume the UN would have to step in to assure the safety of the ships.
15
Gecks777Apr 11, 2026
+19
I am a big supporter of the UN, but it does not have the resources or mandate to police a mined waterway in an active war zone. It will be impossible to arrange action through the UN, because China and Russia can veto any action too harsh to Iran, while the US can veto any action not in its own interests or those of Israel.
I think the most likely eventual outcome is that Iran will get enough of its demands to mollify them, and the Iran/Oman toll will just be a thing going forward.
An international coalition of the willing deploying to try to force the strait open is, in my mind, the next most likely possibility, but it will have to be after the US exits the region and Israel agrees to fully stand down. Otherwise, the situation is just too volatile.

The whole point of these ships sailing there in the first place is propaganda. They aren't minesweepers, so the 'clearing mines' excuse is just that. The only reason they're there is so the Orange Taco can boast to his cult by pointing at them and claiming he controls the Strait. Never mind that ships still aren't crossing it unless Iran specifically allows them to. He's trying to make the most of this ceasefire for his ratings.

People also should be aware that internet connection in Iran is non-existant now.
As such people in Iran have zero idea what's going on. They aren't on Listnook, they haven't seen Trump's tweets, they know nothing about what's going on except what the regime is telling them. And Iranian TV tells them the US has surrendered, and Iran has won.
No amount of threats and bluster from Trump, nor exhortations for the Iranian people to rise up, ever reach the people of Iran.

In both versions, the US ship crossed back out of the strait. The US version is that they sailed through and back as a show of force, to reconnoiter, and to prove it safe for civilian traffic. The Iranian version is they went a little way in, got warned off, and retreated.
Even if the US version of the war so far is basically accurate, they don't want to hang around in the area. If the war were to suddenly turn hot again, I don't think a handful of ships caught on the wrong side of the Strait with no support would be in for a great time. Limited missiles, no resupply, a gauntlet waiting if you try to leave the way you came, and Chinese surveillance satellites circling overhead, just thrilled to feed the Iranians your exact coordinates the second you stop moving, whether at a friendly port or because you've run out of fuel.

If the U.S. Navy decided to conduct FONOPS they already know that Iran will threaten an attack. Iran threatening an attack is not an unexpected outcome. A single drone would not “scare off” two Destroyers. Two destroyers could handle 10 - 20 drones easily and when you add air cover, which would also be deployed, that number goes up. There isn’t a “turning back” by the Destroyers in this scenario.

I think it’s just one those things like inconvenient obfuscation. They can’t hide the ships, they’re pretty big, but they can at least make it slightly harder to gather the information.

Sinking a US Navy ship would also be one of very few things that could happen which might provide some "rally around the flag" support for the war in America.

NY Times reporting matches up better with the Iran version:
"The two Navy ships sailed from the Gulf of Oman before entering the Strait of Hormuz and then turning around, according to U.S. officials and others briefed on the operation. It is not clear exactly when the Iranian surveillance drone was destroyed. One person briefed on the operation said the drone was likely meant to signal a threat to the U.S. warships.
Though the American officials said the surveillance drone was not a direct threat, the Navy determined that it did not want Iranian forces tracking the ships’ movements. The American officials insisted that destroying the drone did not violate the cease-fire."

Even if they run through it day and night will that be enough to convince shipping companies to commit their hundreds of millions of ship and cargo without absolute guarantees from Iran they won’t be targeted?

So they put two very expensive ships into a body of water with only one narrow exit that is most often controlled by their adversary?

Sounds like ceasefire is only being used as a pause to reload and move more troops into the region without being fired at?

Iran have lost its conventional marine (exception of 9 submarine)

Oh well.. if a fast moving warship with billions of dollars worth of self defence can pass through, I would definitely take a slow moving, defenseless freighter full of $2 billion dollars worth of oil through there as well.

They are protected by international law on war crimes and the ICC! The ICC is going to issue war crimes arrest for every last operator who launched attacks on civilian ships.
>[Iran has achieved](https://www.wsj.com/opinion/why-the-international-criminal-court-isnt-taking-on-iran-9e789091) a singular statistic in its current front against Israel. After firing more than 400 missiles over nearly a month, Tehran apparently hasn’t hit a single Israeli military target. That leaves the Islamic Republic with a 100% civilian casualty ratio—a benchmark of the number of civilian casualties relative to combatant ones.
>Not long ago, civilian casualty ratios were at the heart of discussions of the Israel-Gaza war, with Israel’s critics claiming that “disproportionate” levels of civilian casualties were evidence of war crimes. In reality, Israel’s infliction of 30% to 40% military casualties on an adversary hiding behind civilians was impressive by the standards of urban warfare. Now that Iran is batting a consistent .000, commentators seem less focused on casualty ratios.
Oh wait, the ICC isn't even investigating Iran. They did recently start investigating Israel.

I’ve gone on multiple deployments during my 20
