US Nuclear Submarine Enters Strait Of Hormuz; Navy Issues Rare Public Disclosure Of Location
In an extremely rare announcement, the US Navy has publicly declared the location of one of its nuclear submarines, apparently as a "message" and warning to Tehran.
The nuclear submarine USS Georgia is now transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the vital narrow waterway where Iran's IRGC frequently patrols, reportedly armed with up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles.
A US Navy statement posted to Twitter on Monday said the nuclear sub's presence "demonstrates the fleet's ability to operate wherever international law allows" and included the words "force to be reckoned with" as a hashtag.
One geopolitical media monitoring group noted that—
"It’s the first time in 8 years the U.S. Navy has publicly disclosed that one of its nuclear submarines is transiting the Strait of Hormuz."
Gen. McKenzie on Sunday warned Tehran the US remains "ready to react" should it pursue any revenge or retaliation for Soleimani's killing.
There are fears of further rocket attacks against the US Embassy in Baghdad after a major Sunday incident which saw eight rockets rain down on the area, with limited damage to the US embassy complex.
There's also the possibility of espionage or bombings of tankers operating in the Strait of Hormuz, akin to the "tanker wars" of the summer of 2019.
