#USN and #USAF have been built to tackle enemies like #IJN, #IJA, Soviet Red Army, #PLA, #PLAAF, etc. That too in deep waters of the ocean where carriers and planes have room to maneuver. In confined spaces like Straits of #Hormuz or Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb they have struggled. Additionally it is rumored that tens of #PLAAF planes had delivered anti-ship missiles to #Iran just before the #IranWar started

Opening of #Hormuz will not be easy. The best way forward is to stop this war and negotiate

"The U.S. Navy has so far declined to provide Strait of Hormuz escorts for shipping, despite daily requests, multiple sources told Reuters on Tuesday. The reports contradict an earlier statement from Energy Secretary Chris Wright - since withdrawn - that a Navy vessel had escorted one tanker through the waterway.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims that no U.S. Navy warships have "dared" to come near the Strait of Hormuz since the beginning of hostilities on February 28, and accounts from shipping industry sources appear to confirm this assessment. During regular briefings, the U.S. Navy has informed industry leaders that there is no possibility to provide escorts through the strait because of the high risk of attacks - despite a reported exhortation from the White House to encourage shipowners to get under way on their own, unescorted.

Iran has pledged to set passing ships 'on fire,' and has recently warned merchant shipping to be 'very careful' if choosing to transit. So far, only a small number of Western owners have attempted the run, with AIS turned off."

Under maritime law, particularly the principle known as the duty to rescue, there is an obligation for those at sea to assist individuals in peril, including drowning sailors. This is often referred to as the Good Samaritan Law in many jurisdictions

THE #USN let unarmed sailors drown after they sank their ship. #RCN exercises with USA ships. We should stop that, they aren't trustworthy

The Iranian warship that was sunk by a torpedo was returning from a joint exercise the #USA pulled out of on the last moment.

Per protocol joining ships were unarmed. Ships were unarmed
The murderers, #USN, knew they were unarmed, sank the ship and offered no help to the survivors.
