As Israel escalates strikes on Iranian targets, Tehran is weighing a dramatic response: withdrawing from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and possibly closing the Strait of Hormuz -- moves that could further destabilize the region and disrupt global oil flows.
Both situations are about Iran closing the Straight of Hormuz and the US response to such. It’s hard to draw up a more similar event. Second up would be the ongoing operations against the Houthis who are attempting to close a different straight.
37 years is a LONG time when it comes to technology, especially military technology. Think about how much has changed in society since then. Hell, the vast majority of people in the military 37 years ago have long since gotten out. Just because “the us and Iran are doing a thing again” does not mean we’d even attempt the same thing. The geopolitical landscape that existed in 88 isn’t the same either. US is on the way down as chinas going up. And you more or less copypasta the same thing that every person whos ever been on reddit has seen. Come on, at least put a write up, or some opinion on it. Or just describe the thing that happened. So many of us know this copypasta, that if someone were to ask for a source, it should be an immediate ban. Stop the copypasta.
