Report Copyright Violation | BREAKING NEWS Attack on US Naval Forces in the Straits of Hormuz Now all of this is unconfirmed I REPEAT UNCONFIRMED!
BREAKING NEWS Attack on US Naval Forces in the Straits of Hormuz
Friday, June 8, 2012 4:40 PM EST - SUA has learned through various sources that an unprovoked attack on the US Navy occurred this morning in the Straits of Hormuz. CVN-65, the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier and its group were reportedly attacked by no less then 4 sophisticated jets. Confidential sources within the military have confirmed the attack off of the "Broken Isthmus".
There is no confirmed word on damage or if there are any casualties, but SUA has learned that this attack may have caused injuries and possibly one death. We have contacted the military and are awaiting official response.
SUA is reaching out across the land to confirm. Any sources would be welcomed. As of 5pm, CentCom has neither denied or confirmed the reports and pledges to update when further information is available.
UPDATE 5:25 EST - US Navy released: From U.S. Fifth Fleet--USS Enterprise completed a routine, nonthreatening, transit of the Strait of Hormuz. No date confirmation.
UPDATE 6:30 PM EST - "The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which oversees Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs and controls strategic missile units, have had a series of naval and air maneuvers in the gulf in recent weeks.These involved the firing of an array of missiles, including anti-ship weapons, and focused primarily on the Strait of Hormuz." (This was published today at noon.)

UPDATE 7:30 EST - SUA has been unable to secure further official military responses to date. Until further information is available, we stand by our original sources, however we are going to table the story at this time. We invite any official contributions pro and con. For the sake of our troops in the field and our national security, we hope this was a mis-interpretation of a naval event as reported by individuals in theater.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15526347 I have a good memory. This 'attack on u.s. carriers scenario' as remembered was 5 ships planned to go in there who were 'sitting ducks' and would be 'sacrificed'. That was in '03, very clear. U.S. Psyop, always old repetitious scripts. |
