            I’m not sure if you’re making a joke that the rockets are the explosives or if they actually have rockets they launch that are like cluster munitions that drop a bunch of mines in to the water.

              As far as I know, they have the capability to deploy minefields by rocket from long range. I’m not sure if we’re talking the bigger MLRS or the smaller ballistic missiles, but it’s certainly possible.

    Despite the propaganda from the West, Iran is keeping the Straits closed indefinitely (except for their allies). This was signposted by Iran to try to deter the Zionist neocon warmongers but clearly they didn’t care or take it seriously. Now we will all pay for Netanyahu’s insane war with higher energy and food prices.

        US Republicans had great incentives to do this, despite claiming to be pro-business. They’re in the pockets of big oil, for one, and American oil producers are going to make big bank on the increased rates for crude oil barrels.

        And that’s on top of the whole “awlays doing what Israel says” factor.
