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.

I mean Iran does have footage of US ships sort of turning around and I'm yet to see any footage from the US but it's not a completely and totally convincing video. I choose to believe no one until proven otherwise.

If tankers arent passing through freely, does any side of this story really matter?
25
Bored2001 Apr 11, 2026 +2
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
SeaEstablishment8947 Apr 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-guru Apr 12, 2026 +4
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
Gecks777 Apr 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.
5
giants707 Apr 12, 2026 +2
Well then iran gets nothing right? Even if US withdraws, they would have no infrastructure to export. Its lose-lose to iran.
2
Gecks777 Apr 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
Bored2001 Apr 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
Bored2001 Apr 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
SeaEstablishment8947 Apr 12, 2026 +3
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
BestFriendWatermelon Apr 12, 2026 +1
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.

J69SUS Apr 11, 2026 +11
We dont know if they are both lying but we know who is definitely lying
11
EuropaWeGo Apr 11, 2026 +15
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
Gecks777 Apr 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.

hiricinee Apr 11, 2026 +3
Us strategy would probably be to create a convoy e***** with navy vessels, any maybe to insure the shipments..

fury420 Apr 11, 2026 +25
All the online tracking only shows ships that choose to broadcast their location. One of the two ships mentioned hasn't updated their position since the war began, and the other was last tracked headed towards the strait like 10 hrs ago and has had their tracking turned off since.

All vessels can be tracked, unless they deactivate AIS. All vessels over a certain gross tonnage are required to have them. Military vessels can and often do disable AIS though.
2
BendicantMias Apr 12, 2026 +2
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.
2
BestFriendWatermelon Apr 12, 2026 +2
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.

mr-301 Apr 11, 2026 +8
I mean , this is pretty easy to prove one way or another…. Simply what side of the strait is the boat now, if it’s done through and it’s on the other side the us are telling the truth, if it’s not then Iran is telling the truth…
8
Gecks777 Apr 11, 2026 +15
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.
15
myredditaccount80 Apr 12, 2026 +5
Sending the ships through once there is a ceasefire doesn't seem like much of a show of force. Maybe just testing the ceasefire or the ability of the negotiators to actually dictate what IRGC do.
5
tagillaslover Apr 11, 2026 +6
Yeah I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Iran wouldn’t be issuing warnings that actually mean anything. There was either no warning or an empty one, if they wanted to try and hit the ship they’d have just done so 
6
Doogie90 Apr 11, 2026 +3
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.

Port in my city used to always tell us that they weren't allowed to disclose when the US navy was coming in for security reasons. We were repairing one of the wharves & would often come to work in the morning only to be told we weren't allowed on site as the US navy were on our berth. Then we discovered websites like these, that often had the eta of ships accurately postsd. I don't know if they were lying or what the hell was going on with them
67
BobertRosserton Apr 11, 2026 +24
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. Like you can track anyone’s flight if you wanted to and had a pretty minimal amount of information, but most people wouldn’t know where to start.
24
Altaredboy Apr 12, 2026 +7
I don't think so. Because before we discovered the website we found out the shipping agency that handled them & they'd freely give us that information.

Sinking a US warship would be a huge W for Iran.
10
ammonthenephite Apr 11, 2026 +7
They don't need to though. They are better off saving their ordinance for the commercial shipping. Keep them scared and it won't matter how many US warships go through the canal, the straight will still be effectively closed, and the world will feel those effects.
7
where_is_the_camera Apr 11, 2026 +18
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. As it is, Iran is fully aware that this is the most unpopular war in American history. There's more pressure on Trump coming from the threat of midterm elections than anything Iran is doing specifically to the US or its Navy. I'm thinking Iran wants to keep it that way.

HelloIamGoge Apr 11, 2026 +2

Excerpt "WASHINGTON, April 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on ​Saturday that two ‌of its warships sailed through ​the Strait ​of Hormuz as part ⁠of a ​plan to start ​removing mines from the vital conduit ​for the ​global oil trade. Sending the ‌ships ⁠through the strait was aimed at "setting conditions for ​clearing ​mines ⁠in the Strait of ​Hormuz," U.S ​Central ⁠Command posted on X."

luvinbc Apr 11, 2026 +15
lol, verified information in this day and age where I can post whatever I want to without any consequences for false information. Maybe an hour ago just read that one American vessel was trying to cross but Iran basically told them you have x amount of time to turn around or we open fire on you. They turned around.

Nope, the ships were turned away. Iran "remains determined not to allow any vessel to transit without authorization," semiofficial news agency Tasnim reported. According to the outlet, there is no traffic in the strait at the moment, and "the American destroyer that intended to pass through the strait was not granted permission." https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/live-blog/live-updates-trump-iran-hormuz-israel-lebanon-ceasefire-talks-pakistan-rcna285140

Yeah that may be the case. But if anything this "war" with Iran has shown that the US can and will (with the wrong person giving the orders) do whatever they want.

oneshot99210 Apr 12, 2026 +3
Except: *Can't force peace *Can't get Iran to give up control of the strait *Can't get any cooperation from the rest of the world to help get things back to where they were 6 weeks ago *Can't stop a $2,000 drone with anything less than a $2,000,000 missile But other than that, okay.

It’s probably force posture, a threat if talks don’t go well.

Yup. And would be an interesting tactic if Iran let several navy ships in specifically to trap them. I think it’d end poorly for everyone involved but it’d be a hell of a move

It's not about the world's most heavily armed and most capable warships transiting the straight. It's about civilian crewed non armored no defense bulk freighter transiting the straight. This is honestly embarrassing. We cant provide e****** for a convoy with any confidence or we would have done so before now.
12
SeaEstablishment8947 Apr 12, 2026 +1
Yep. And we can possibly e***** some ships on the narrowest part but what about the whole other part of the strait? The whole area is under range of Iranian drones. They would need a golden dome that is 10 times larger than Israel’s.

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."

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) AND, USA is loosing the war cuz they are failing third military objectives. Both can be true.

Mines are a legitimate threat regardless of the size of your navy.

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 Year career where our entire battle group transited the strait multiple times. 2 ships is only a fraction of one battle group for one transit.

Whoever runs America these days must be so disappointed the bait was not taken, and the ships were not attacked.
