Farhad A.Wall Street Journal: Iran has combined its experience in the "Tanker War" with modern drones
🔹Four decades ago, Iran and the United States were on a collision course over oil transportation; an event that bears similarities to today's war.
🔹During the "Tanker War" in the 1980s, Iran used missiles, mines, and speedboats to assert its control over the Strait of Hormuz. This time, in addition to the same previous pattern, Iran has a fleet of attack drones that multiply its power.
🔹Iran's modern weapons can target ships and warships in a way that is difficult and costly to counter.
🔹Similar to the Tanker War, Iran is now also taking advantage of its geographical advantages and has been able to keep the US Navy at bay.
