Iran: USS Michael Murphy decides not to sail through Hormuz after strike threat

Finds its continuation story with the American destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112), which departed from its base in Fujairah (UAE) today and attempted to "slip" through the Strait of Hormuz. As Military Review previously reported, the Iranian side warned the destroyer's crew that it was moving without permission from Iran and would therefore be attacked by hypersonic missiles if it attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. rockets.

According to other sources, the threatening message was not transmitted directly to the commander of the US Navy destroyer, but to the Pakistani General Staff, which in turn passed the information on to the Americans.

The Iranian channel IRIB reports that after such a warning, the destroyer turned 180 degrees and began to move away from the Strait of Hormuz.

This Iranian report contradicts the official American release, according to which today two US Navy warships, Frank Peterson and the aforementioned Michael Murphy, “successfully passed through Hormuz.”

The American publication Axios, citing US military officials, reports that no direct threats or ultimatums were received from Iran during the ships' transit, and the ships completed their mission without incident.

Generally speaking, the US-Iran negotiations and everything that accompanies them are fraught with many contradictions. One of these is the situation with Iranian assets. Initially, the Western press reported that Iranian assets had been unfrozen (at least those held in Qatari banks, which amount to approximately $6-7 billion out of a total of up to $140 billion). Then, US officials denied this information, stating that "that is not yet the case."

There are many contradictions. One of them is the situation with Iranian assets.

Eh, Russia and our government. Maybe it’s time to turn off Leopold and act like Iran?
We are already on the Mongolian side Ukrainians They're starting to attack quietly... Maybe it's time to hit Ukraine's bunkers, because we have all the plans!!!
They are holding everything there and replacing the World Cup in Odessa, etc. Who are we afraid of?

Zbigniew Brzezinski probably answered this question directly in 2009:
"..Russia can have as many nuclear suitcases and nuclear buttons as you like, but since 500 billion dollars of the Russian elite are in our banks, you still figure it out: is this your elite or already ours? I do not see a single situation in which Russia will use its nuclear potential....“

[Ed Mac]

Brzezinski didn't talk about nuclear weapons; there was a conference on missile defense, and he ended his speech with "How are Putin's people going to respond to what they consider to be the American challenge to Russia?"
And if Russia uses nuclear weapons, it will run into trouble from everyone, especially China. China recently hinted to Israel that it would be bad if it used nuclear weapons.
And in general, in a historical perspective, it turns out that Russia was unable to cope with internal corruption and therefore launched nuclear weapons at Ukraine?

[Sokolov_Vladimir]

Not only is nuclear weapons unacceptable, the Oreshnik missile flies with an inert dummy, and if it arrives with a 1, 2 or 3 ton warhead, it will be comparable to the use of nuclear weapons, and will be presented through the media as alleged nuclear weapons.

Against the backdrop of the Russian military-industrial complex's feigned weakness and scribbling, processes of degradation are taking place in Europe and NATO, endless contradictions are being brought to the surface, and there's already talk of the collapse of the EU and NATO, without our direct intervention. Yet, you apparently have a strong desire to give them an incentive to consolidate. Yes, the country is currently resisting this viper's nest, but this resistance is being met with little strain. Civilian enterprises are operating as usual, people in many cities are living as usual, and the Central Bank's foreign agents are strangling the economy as before. Now, any display of force on our part will trigger a unification of the Western world; they will put their differences aside, and we will be forced to truly transition to a war economy, military mobilization, which will undoubtedly destroy the familiar way of life of all the people of Russia. And such commentators on this site won't even be able to moan, because it will be like in Iran, with internet access cut off for the entire population.

Well, how can I say it? In 1941, they also sat quietly and didn't give in to provocations. And then, like hares, they ran from the Messerschmitts and only stopped at the Leningrad-Moscow-Stalingrad line. What do you say about this? I hope this doesn't happen again. The Russian authorities are very cautious and they want to avoid offending anyone. The countries howl at night, and more and more often.

Well, the pre-war situation of 1941 isn't the format for commentary on an article; people write books and defend dissertations about it. The main thing I can say about it is that the country wasn't ready for war with a Europe united under the Nazis, and Stalin understood this and stalled for time as best he could. However, they weren't exactly quiet before this war—let me remind you that before that, there was the war with Finland and Japan. Japan, for example, suffered so much that even despite the German attack, they still didn't dare attack the USSR from the East, although their alliance with Germany was initially aimed precisely at that. I think the 2008 massacre of Georgia can be considered an analogy to this warning. It's precisely with this warning in mind that neither the Georgians, Armenians, nor the dying Baltic states are getting into a direct war with Russia. But we must understand that, despite all the problems of the European Union and NATO, we simply can't handle a direct clash with them using conventional weapons. The USSR could have done this as part of the Warsaw Pact, but Russia, unfortunately, can't handle it without the use of the nuclear triad. And the use of nuclear weapons against NATO inevitably leads to unacceptable damage to Russia, at least as long as the United States is part of NATO. So for now, things are as they are—smile and wave. There's still hope that Europe will squander its industry in the current capital and energy crises before our financial authorities strangle the Russian economy.

If Leopold is shut down by the authorities, then they will start shutting down people like you, even if you are abroad. They will start taking you to the logging sites and leaving without the right to free will!!!
Did you explain it clearly, dude? You're very talkative...and try that with Trump in the US...They'll put you in the electric chair right away!!!!

Apparently, Ukraine will retaliate by blocking traffic from Black Sea ports. This would be detrimental to the economy, which is dependent, among other things, on oil trade.

[Arkady007]

Iran prevented an American destroyer from passing through Hormuz.
There or back, it doesn't matter. What matters is that the destroyer turned 180 degrees.

And now let the red-haired showman shout that the strait is open to everyone except the Americans.

[Junior Private]

A single destroyer, in a narrow strait, without air support, and despite the fact that everyone has long since realized that Iran is no pushover. Is this a joke? The Persians could train their cadets to launch torpedoes in combat conditions.

They haven't used torpedoes in the strait yet. But they have them, and quite a few of them..)))
And not on the undersides!
If they start, then a real hunt will begin: 800 tankers will be blocked in the strait!!!!
Trump is tearing out his red hair. What should I do?Ukrainians They are still demanding money from Zelensky, Europe is shaking and the Russians and China are keeping a meaningful silence, heh heh!!!!

launch torpedoes.

It's just right for turning the destroyer 90 degrees in the vertical plane.

Why quietly,

helped openly

Initially, Iran maintained a neutral stance, but after a change in leadership and the signing of an alliance treaty, it became a key partner. The introduction of Soviet troops (Operation Accord) in August 1941 allowed the USSR to secure the Caucasus oil fields from possible German seizure or sabotage by pro-German groups in Iran. Iran pledged to cooperate with the allies, making its territory available for the transit of troops and resources, and in return received guarantees of territorial integrity and the withdrawal of troops after the war. Persian corridor (or Trans-Iranian route) became the second most important supply route to the USSR, relatively safe compared to the Arctic convoys.

In addition to transit, Iran itself was an important supplier of strategic raw materials and food for the USSR. Cereals and rice: Iran supplied huge volumes of rice (more than 90% of Iranian exports of this crop went to the USSR). Meat and livestock: Live cattle were regularly supplied. The USSR was the main buyer of Iranian meat, with Soviet agencies (such as Skotoimport) purchasing it on a large scale. Fruits and nuts: Dried fruits, almonds, pistachios, and fresh fruits (up to 40% of all Iranian fruit exports) were exported to the USSR. These were strategic raw materials. Iranian industry and agriculture supplied the Soviet military with materials. Cotton and wool: Iran supplied up to 90% of its cotton exports to the USSR, which was essential for the production of uniforms. Wool and lambskin were also supplied. Leather and skins: The raw leather was used to produce army footwear and equipment. Minerals: Non-ferrous metal ores, in particular lead and zinc ores, as well as sulfur for the chemical industry, were imported from Iran. Petroleum products: Although the USSR had its own oil fields in Baku, Iranian oil and refined petroleum products (from refineries in Abadan) were also used by the Allied forces.

In exchange for these supplies, Iran received industrial goods from the USSR that were in short supply: sugar, cement, fabrics, matches, and iron and steel products. Soviet specialists helped develop Iranian industry.

The introduction of Soviet troops (Operation Consent) in August 1941

Everyone knows about it, one of the relatives spent the entire war there...
but it was written:

Iran began to provide us with first aid quietly in 1941, then Mongolia...

but this is not the same thing...

The US Navy won't expose itself like that. It's clear that the ships will be hit. They'll only enter after firm agreements are reached.

I was thinking, maybe I should ask Iran to give a master class to our top brass.
Somehow they manage to talk convincingly to the collective West.
I sympathize with Sergei Viktorovich and understand that not everything depends on him. But these gestures of goodwill already seem somehow ridiculous.
I want to be like Iran. They just said... STOP... and even the Yankees tucked their tails between their legs and gave them a slap on the wrist from the Gulf.

[Commissar Kitten]

There was probably a master class. Only there they explained to Iran how to explain that the Donald Cook crew resigned in horror upon their return.

[Junior Private]

No. The master class idea is a good one, but it won't work here. Not all the deputies have been jailed yet. The other day, I was having a beer with some comrades who've dedicated years of their lives to serving the Fatherland, and we kind of joked about maybe applying for Iranian citizenship. Of course, it was a joke coming from career officers, but it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

The development of missile and unmanned systems is increasingly eroding the importance of large warships.

[solar]

Both have been used against American warships on numerous occasions. Only one known instance, many years ago, occurred by mistake.

Attack UAVs and anti-ship missiles have made some progress since then, including among the Persians.

[solar]

So far, this hasn't led to anything. American destroyers are well-balanced to begin with.

a mad world, increasingly reminiscent of the film "Don't Look Up"...
In one military conflict, at the time of the conclusion of a truce, three sides at once (USA, Iran and Israel) participating in the conflict, declared their unconditional victory!!!

[Old Hank]

This is how the Iranian Embassy in Ghana tells it,
How American ships actually "passed" the Strait of Hormuz:
America sent a destroyer to the Sea of ​​Hormuz
strait to intimidate Iran in front of
negotiations.
Iran picked up the phone: “You have 30 minutes.”
The ship turned around. It made a turn towards
180 degrees immediately!
Then the Pentagon official had to go out
broadcast on AXIOS and explain what is actually
it was just "freedom of navigation".
Now we know what a 180 degree turn means.
degrees."
Not a single shot. Not a single missile. Only
the word of Iran. And this turned out to be
enough.
These are Persians...
