Iran Gets Mocked Into Next Week After It Releases Video of Its 'Attack' on US Ship

As we reported earlier, the Iranian regime claimed that they'd hit a U.S. warship with two missiles on Monday.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) immediately obliterated the claim.

Not only that, but CENTCOM announced they had freed two ships that had been stuck.

The immediate reaction of social media to the regime was to put them on the spot: okay, if you hit a U.S. warship, where's the proof? Where's your video?

So now the Iranian regime has released a video on its state TV. It's pretty funny. and has a lot of people mocking it.

Did you notice what was missing there? Any evidence that any ships were hit?

In fact, that was such a ridiculously fuzzy video. It could have been taken anywhere. Nothing indicates that it shows them even shooting at ships.

Now the Iranian regime may have tried to target the ship, but as we noted above, CENTCOM explained they were unsuccessful.

That video is like the one the regime released of them seizing a tanker. It looked as if it was staged after they had already seized the tanker, and had people mocking them.

It's also stupid. How to provide evidence of breaking the ceasefire, if you are claiming this is real.

Add that to their "suicide dolphin" thoughts, which even had CNN laughing.

They likely vitiated the ceasefire with all the action they were taking on Monday, including firing on the United Arab Emirates (UAE), hitting. In another action, the U.S. also took out six of the Iranian small fast boats during the mission to defend shipping. That's all that the regime has left in the way of boats.

So expect some response back for the Iranian regime miscalculating yet again.

Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
