The still largely unexplained decision to cease operations at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant can only prompt questions and concerns.
The incident took place yesterday and is the second instance of Iranian boats harassing American military vessels in less than a month.
The attack was reportedly an Israeli operation and came right as the U.S. and Iran started new indirect talks over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
The alleged Israeli campaign against Iran’s commercial ships could be linked to previously unexplained incidents and possible Iranian retaliation.
The strike is the first major military operation ordered by President Biden and it sets up a new paradigm between his administration and Tehran.
The scenario sounds like something straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, but lightweight remote-controlled gun turrets do indeed exist.
Assassins killed Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was involved in Iranian nuclear weapons work stretching back decades, in a city near Tehran.
A senior Iranian official has threatened to seize a British oil tanker in retaliation for the United Kingdom’s boarding and seizure of the Iranian supertanker Grace 1 off the coast of Gibraltar over suspected sanctions violations yesterday. The incident comes as Iran says it will begin enriching uranium in violation a controversial international agreement that the United Kingdom, along with France and Germany, have been struggling to save after the U.S. government pulled out last year.
The announcement comes shortly after reports that the Iranians fired an earlier version of this weapon during an exercise in the Strait of Hormuz.
It is also the first launch of a ballistic missile of any kind in more than a year and could draw harsh criticism from the Trump Administration.
