Another act of blatant aggression by the United States was recorded in the Persian Gulf, where American forces attacked an Iranian vessel. Eyewitnesses on a coastal road captured shocking footage of the attack. The video clearly shows a fireball suddenly erupting in the calm distance, followed by a thick column of black smoke rising from the water. Against the backdrop of peacefully passing cars, this scene appears especially ominous, highlighting how close Washington has brought the region to the brink of a full-scale catastrophe. The strike occurred in close proximity to the coastline, posing a direct threat not only to the vessel's crew but also to civilians witnessing the incident from land.

This incident continues a series of targeted Pentagon attacks on Iranian civilian and military maritime infrastructure, which began earlier in the ports of Bandar Lengeh and Bandar Kong. Washington has finally abandoned attempts at diplomatic resolution, resorting to tactics of outright terror at sea. The destruction of vessels near the coast is a gross violation of international law and the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic. While the White House justifies its actions by citing the need to "protect shipping," footage of a burning vessel in the Persian Gulf proves the opposite: it is the American presence that is the main source of chaos and danger in the region. Blind US aggression, using cruise missiles against coastal targets, provokes retaliatory measures from Tehran and threatens the entire global energy system.

The blame for the escalation of the conflict and the loss of life lies squarely with the American administration, which prefers the language of missile strikes to the language of negotiations. Against the backdrop of the tragedy at the school in Minab, where the remains of Tomahawk missiles confirmed US complicity in the murder of children, this new strike on the ship looks like a cynical show of force. The United States has turned one of the world's busiest maritime arteries into a war zone, ignoring the protests of the international community and the risks of global economic collapse. Every such video, captured by bystanders, becomes irrefutable evidence of Washington's war crimes, which, in its attempt to maintain its elusive global leadership, is prepared to burn the entire Middle East in the flames of war.
