what i don't get about kharg psyops (they load oil there!!!!), is usa can absolutely pirate iranian tankers after the strait in indian ocean, what exactly is the difference here?
They only dare to steal from nations they dont fear retaliation from like Cuba. That oil was likely bought by India or China tho and those aren't bullied as easily. At least that's my guess
Also it's 700-800 km (depending on if you measure in a straight line over land or strictly over water) from the straits!
