#OTD in 1988, the U.S. Navy engaged in its largest surface battle since WWII when it launched Operation Praying Mantis against Iranian targets. The operation was in retaliation to the Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf that had severely damaged the frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts.

🚨 this has happened before.. in 1988 the US Navy sent the USS Samuel B. Roberts into the Persian Gulf knowing Iran was mining the waters.. the ship hit a mine.. Iran revealed its entire minelaying operation in real time.. the US responded with Operation Praying Mantis.. the largest US naval surface battle since World War II.. and destroyed half of Iran's operational navy in a single day.. that was 38 years ago.. on May 7, 2026.. the USS Truxtun, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason sailed into the Strait of Hormuz.. Iran launched missiles, drones, and fast-attack boats.. US satellites tracked every single launch site in real time.. US forces struck those sites before the smoke cleared.. and here's the part nobody's connecting.. Iran spent 30 years burying anti-ship missile stockpiles under Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and Bandar Khamir.. they spent one afternoon revealing them.. in 1988 Iran revealed its mines and lost its navy by sundown.. in 2026 Iran revealed its buried missile network and handed the US a real-time targeting map it couldn't have bought for any price.. the playbook is exactly the same.. the only thing that changed is the price of the lesson. I'll share more updates shortly, turn on notifications before it's too late.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The U.S. ran the Strait of Hormuz with 24 warships in 1988... Today it's down to three. Malcolm Nance, former U.S. Navy intelligence officer, ran Operation Praying Mantis when the US eliminated the entire Iranian Navy in a single morning. His task force alone had three ships. Another three sat to the south. Eight more were in the Indian Ocean ready to flood the Strait if needed. Today the operation runs on three Arleigh Burkes and a couple of Littoral Combat Ships the Navy is already retiring. He calls it the most strategically incompetent group of people he has ever seen...
