BREAKING NEWS! The spokesperson of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said today: "Iran strongly welcomes the US' readiness to escort oil tankers and the statement that the US military will pass through the Strait of Hormuz. But in fact, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is waiting for their appearance. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps advises Americans to remember the incident in 1987 when the American supertanker 'Bridgeton' was set on fire, as well as recent attacks on oil tankers before making any decisions."
Comment: Iran is openly welcoming but secretly issuing a challenge. It's a naked strategy of luring enemies into a trap and then attacking them. Saying "welcome the US military to escort" is just a cover, while they have already prepared the battlefield and are waiting for the US military to come. They even directly bring up the old account of 1987, when they severely damaged an American oil tanker, as a warning - the Strait of Hormuz is Iran's home ground. No matter how many you send, I can deal with them all, making you repeat the same fate as before.
