LONDON - The US military has stepped up chartering of tankers and requests for extra fuel in the US Central Command area, which includes the Gulf, shipping and oil industry sources say.

A Gulf oil industry source said the charters suggested there would be high naval activity, possibly including a demonstration to Iran that the US Navy will protect the Strait of Hormuz oil shipping route during tensions over Teheran’s nuclear programme.

Things that makes you say...”HMMMmmmmmmmm”

If you can hear the sub you can kill the sub. The Iranians do not have the technology and experience to make a stealthy sub. It will be noisy. It will be detected. It will die the day we decide to kill it.
