Overnight Iranian drones struck commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, leaving freighters burning and sending shockwaves through global energy markets.

But here’s the question I’m asking today: why wasn’t the U.S. Navy ready for this? Iran has said for years its number one military objective in a conflict would be shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. That threat wasn’t hidden. It was repeated over and over again.

Yet ships are now on fire in the world’s most important shipping lane. Protecting that corridor is the responsibility of the U.S. Fifth Fleet. So how did the most predictable move Iran could make catch us unprepared?

Now that Iran has escalated and commercial vessels are burning in the water, the response will be far more severe. If Tehran wanted to trigger overwhelming retaliation, they may have just done exactly that.
