15:27Now Playing🇺🇸 US Navy Marines storm Iranian ship as the US-Iran ceasefire collapses. 20-year submarine veteran Ben Dykes breaks down the tactical reality of the Strait of Hormuz blockade, three US aircraft carriers converging on Iran, and what happens when the ceasefire clock runs out Wednesday evening.
President Trump just told PBS News "lots of bombs start going off" if Iran doesn't come to the table. USS Spruance put 5-inch rounds through the engine room of Iranian cargo ship Touska. Marines from the 31st MEU fast-roped out of helicopters off the USS Tripoli and took the vessel in the dark. The Ford, Lincoln, and George H.W. Bush carrier strike groups are now in theater — the first three-carrier CENTCOM posture of this war.
I'm breaking down exactly what happened — submariner's view — plus the capability picture on both sides, what Iran's actually bringing to this fight, and what to watch for when the ceasefire expires Wednesday evening.
From a tactical standpoint — this is the hinge moment of Operation Epic Fury.
