Iran sinks two more cargo ships

Iran sunk two cargo ships from the United Arab Emirates in the Strait of Hormuz around October 13-14. This constitutes a major setback for the United States Navy, which has been attempting to protect civilian ships in the strait since early May. The last time Iranian attacks sunk ships was in early March. Iran’s decision and ability to reescalate show that it remains willing to push, violently. In fact, the worst is yet to come.
