Iran’s escalating confrontation with the U.S. Navy is entering a dangerous new phase in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM says the IRGC fired ballistic missiles toward a U.S. aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer on September 5, prompting U.S. strikes on three Iranian crude carriers. Now an Iranian commercial vessel has been struck by an unknown projectile near Qeshm Island, leaving a deadly fire and a major unanswered question: who fired it? Former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner breaks down the carrier strike group, F/A-18 Super Hornets, Aegis missile defense, LUCAS drones, the sensor-to-shooter kill chain, Iran’s missile production, and what could happen next. Plus: Russia strikes near Poland’s border and Ukraine claims a first-ever naval drone-versus-drone kill in the Black Sea.
