A French company has confirmed that its vessel was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz.

French shipping and logistics company CMA CGM has confirmed that one of its vessels, the San Antonio, was attacked while attempting to pass through the blocked Strait of Hormuz.

As a result of the winged strike missiles The land-based vessel sustained damage, injuring several crew members—Filipino citizens. The company said in a statement that the injured crew members have been evacuated and are receiving medical attention.

At the same time, Trump announced that he was halting Operation Project Freedom, but would maintain the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for now. He said this was at the request of Pakistan and other countries, as well as in response to "colossal US military successes" and "tremendous progress" in the negotiations with Iran. According to the American president, the suspension of Project Freedom is supposedly necessary to see if certain points of a potential agreement with Tehran can be finalized.

Meanwhile, as experience has shown, despite Trump's announced "operation," shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has not resumed. Iran has not backed down from its position and refused to allow ships through Hormuz that have not coordinated passage with Tehran. Thus, it is clear that Washington's latest attempt to unblock the Strait of Hormuz has predictably ended in failure for Trump—shipping through the strait remains possible only with Tehran's permission.

Hmm, colossal military successes🤔
We should give him a Nobel Prize for peace, and also for chemistry and medicine, maybe he'll calm down.

The ship was damaged as a result of a land-based cruise missile strike,

Is the rocket bad or the ship strong?

[Chip4ik]

Apparently this was a warning to the wheelhouse without a warhead.

[topol717]

The ship was damaged, two people were injured, and you consider it a bad missile? What do you think is a good missile then?

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

It is difficult to sink a ship with one missile.

Drowning might be difficult. But setting it on fire?
Clearly, the ship wasn't trying to break through to the Gulf, but they believed Trump's claim that navigation was free. And Mikron and Starmer are stirring up some kind of coalition again...
They were coming from the Gulf, meaning they were carrying cargo. Whatever they were carrying, everything in the Gulf burns well, except sand.
Apparently, the intention wasn't to destroy the vessel. They took pity on it. They made it clear who was boss.

Just a clear example so that others do not repeat such actions.

Not long ago, an alarm was declared in our area and, as usual, mobile internet was cut off.
As luck would have it, I'm on the road and urgently need to send a document by email. There are no other options except by phone.
I know in my head that the internet will be turned on when the Ministry of Emergency Situations sends a text message saying it's all-clear, but I need it so badly that I'm constantly reaching out to check every 20 minutes to see if they've turned it on yet.

So here.
Iran said "no." Trump said "yes." But what if it really is? They tried...
They were given to understand that it was "not allowed", but there was no desire to drown.

Why is it bad? It did hit. But one light anti-ship missile can't sink an ocean-going vessel. Even a small ship like the destroyer Arleigh Burke requires at least four such missiles to disable or sink. And ships now have double bottoms and double sides; they're big. And strong.
What is French is simply wonderful.

Someone, I remember, was satisfied with one Exocet, and the warhead hadn't even gone off yet.

Quote: novel xnumx

For some people, I remember, one Exocet was enough

So, it was a VI 4000 t frigate, with an aluminum deck and superstructure. There was plenty to burn, and the aluminum deck and superstructure themselves were quite capable of burning.
And here's an ocean-going vessel of 100,000-200,000 tons (or even more). That Exocet is like a drop in the bucket for an elephant - just enough to scare him.

Such pathos, such a passage, just like a "New Napoleon".

Trump is the winner! Give him a medal "For winning the dog show."

[tralflot1832]

Iran is allergic to the name San Antonio. The French call it a container ship, and the US Navy has a UDC named San Antonio. We didn't figure it out.

An angry dog ​​bark can be heard from behind
Enemies are hot on your heels
Sir Antonio, what does all this mean?
This is called kaput.

Well, let's show these Russians

Sir Antonio, how do you say it in Russian?

Oh, ja ja, das ist fantastisch!!! Amerikanischer Koloss, ja!!!! You can't say it any other way, but in German it's just right.
