Iran war: 3 ships struck in Strait of Hormuz - CNN



Three vessels were hit by unknown projectiles near the Strait of Hormuz today, the UK’s maritime agency said. Three crew members on board a Thai vessel remain unaccounted for after it was struck today. Sources told CNN Tehran had begun laying mines in the key waterway.

Meanwhile, Maersk's CEO warned of supply chain issues as the war continues, and a US diplomatic post in Iraq was hit by a suspected Iranian drone.

Trump's lackadaisical Covid response screwed up supply chains

His Tarrifs tomfoolery screwed up supply chains.

Now his personal war in MidEast is going to fuck with supply chains.

He is always messing with AFFORDABILITY. ALWAYS.
