It's quite possible their supply route (from Iran) has also been blocked and that they don't have stockpiles of their own.
Any potential effects on USIS deep precision strikes on the Iranian heartland?
I'm pretty sure that's another interceptor with dual pulse rocket motor. the contrails look very similar to each other, and it wasn't traveling very fast like a terminal ballistic missile should.
That’s a mushroom cloud… guess Iran is gradually transitioning to more sophisticated missiles…
US-owned tanker attacked near Iraq was hit by unmanned boats, early findings show
Two explosive-laden, unmanned boats rammed the Safesea Vishnu tanker in an Iraqi seaport on Wednesday, sparking a fiery blast that engulfed the vessel's port side in flames and left crew only seconds to react, according to an early assessment conducted by the vessel's U.S. owner and operator.

iranians are pointedly holding some cards (i.e. targeting the ford carrier group there and saudi tankers) and inversely the houthis and even hezbollah have been conscious about looking like "proxies"
Originally everyone thought Hezbollah was out of action and had no supply routes to arm them and now look. I’d imaging thr same mistake is being made with Houthis. Theyre just waiting for the right time. Theyve just announced theyre ready
That doesn't bode well if LHD has to run the gauntlet to get into the gulf. I wonder if the news from yesterday about an Iranian boat sneaking up on Lincoln was also an USV.
I get the feeling that after watching four years of Ukraine war USN hasn't really taken the threat of USVs that seriously, despite their own noise about unmanned hellscape. Hence why that boat managed to get close to the Lincoln CSG and they first used 5" guns to hit it and failed after repeated shots and had to resort to hellfire from helicopter. While USV may not be too much of a threat on the open water because CSG can use their speed to make it hard on the USV to make an attack run, in the cramped space of the strait these USVs would be much more dangerous.
