In October 1987, the U.S. military provoked Iran's oil rigs for no reason.
In the face of the fierce and vicious US military, Iran did not hesitate, and immediately retaliated with-for-tat, turning the HEAVY frigates of the US military into the Strait of Hormuz into a pile of scrap iron, and incidentally shooting down a helicopter gunship!
For a long time, the United States has been adhering to the bandit mentality and pursuing hegemonism, promoting power politics around the world, arbitrarily wielding the stick of sanctions, implementing long-arm jurisdiction, and provoking military conflicts for no reason.
It has become the biggest factor affecting world stability, and it is a typical country with "power and no justice", and wherever there is turmoil and war, the US military is indispensable everywhere.
The Middle East has always been considered by the United States to be its own pocket, and it can be placed as it wants, and the US military has been rampaging through the Middle East for a while, and the conflicts, turmoil and blood debts created are even more difficult to count.
As the old saying goes: where there is oppression, there is resistance. The US military is so unscrupulous and vicious, it will naturally encounter rebels who are not willing to submit, and Iran is a typical representative of rising up and resisting oppression.
In October 1987, in order to knock Iran, the US military rushed into the Strait of Hormuz on the pretext of "escorting merchant ships", using Iran's drilling platform as a "pirate target", pouring thousands of shells until the target was blasted into slag. However, the US troops did not leave after the fight, and remained in the strait to wander around unscrupulously.
It may also be that the US military is used to bullying weak and small bullies, and feels that no one dares to fight back, but this time the US military has miscalculated. In the face of the fierce and vicious US military, Iran did not hesitate to immediately blockade the Strait of Hormuz and laid many mines in the strait.
The US military's "Roberts" heavy frigate, just looking at the flowers in the strait, did not even look at it, and rode directly to the mine, and as a result, it was blown up several large holes, and it became a pile of rags on the spot.
Originally, it was a matter that the US military owed the first to pick, but after Iran returned the favor, the US military was not happy, and carried out a "mantis operation" in the Persian Gulf to deceive the small, dispatching a fleet of fierce firepower, but specifically knocking on Iran's drilling platform that had no ability to fight back.
At the same time, the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier battle group also set sail, trying to break through the Iranian blockade and go to the Strait of Hormuz for a few days.
Iran saw that the US military was so arrogant, of course, it was not accustomed, and immediately dispatched naval and air forces to join the regimental battle. However, Iran's courage is commendable, but its strength is indeed almost poor.
Iran sent planes to bomb U.S. rigs, only to be stopped back by the U.S. Air Force; Iran's missile ship wanted to die with the US ship, but it was unlucky and was sunk by the US ship.
However, the US military did not take much advantage. The US ship was blown up by Iranian bombers, an F4 fighter plane that saved the field was half-crippled, and a cruise helicopter gunship was also shot down by an Iranian patrol boat.
In order to knock down several drilling platforms, it actually lost a heavy frigate and an armed helicopter, I am afraid that the US military never dreamed of paying such a big price.
As a result, the US military is anxious, and the aircraft carrier battle group is pouring out, which is bound to teach Iran a bitter lesson. And Iran is not timid, the navy, air force is waiting for a strict line, even the missiles are ready to launch. The Strait of Hormuz is covered by dark clouds, and a big war is inevitable.
However, at the critical moment when the war was about to erupt, the US military may have been frightened by Iran's desperate posture, and it suddenly stopped and retreated in ashes!
