It is not the first time Iran has caused trouble in the straight of Hormuz. In 1988, Iran planted mines and ended up damaging a US Navy ship. The Navy ended up sinking several Iranian ships in response.

Be careful
They want a nuke so bad let’s send them one show them what it does before they show us.
Sounds like a death wish.
Even the French destroyer escorting the usa carrier, said iran did not fire at their ships and at 4500 ft ( 700 ft short of a mile) away in their own internationally recognized territory.
