The wicked idiots in DC may have found another avenue to intensify WWIII.

The U.S. military is readying plans to embark armed Marines and sailors aboard the commercial ships of interested private companies after a spate of vessel seizures by Iranian forces in the Middle East, officials said Thursday, a remarkable escalation that could put Washington and Tehran in direct confrontation.

The effort has not yet received final approval, but it has buy-in from senior Biden administration officials and could commence as soon as this month, said one official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military planning. Marines from Camp Lejeune, N.C., have been flown to Bahrain and received related training, with additional personnel due to arrive soon aboard American warships.

The protected tankers are probably the ones used to transport oil stolen from places like Syria by the GAE. Add to that crime the piracy and theft of foreign tankers by the GAE. Add in Marines and one wonders whether these “interested private” vessels might be properly considered overt military targets.

The GAE has its Ukranazi proxy openly attacking private freighters in the Black Sea. All of this signals that such ships are open targets. Iran will not lightly accept new interference in its sphere of influence. On the wider seas, other parties with much greater abilities would only need to seize, disable, or sink one or two tankers or container ships in order to bring international shipping to a full stop. That might rightly be considered “bad”. As such, we all wait breathlessly for a solution from Brandon the AI or one of the GOP cucktards.
