At the time of publication of Scott Ritter’s report, there are no news reports confirming the event. The latest report states the following:
“A third US aircraft carrier has arrived in the Middle East, significantly boosting America’s military assets in the region. About 5,000 troops and dozens of fighter jets are aboard USS George HW Bush.
What’s next? The carrier strike group could be used to support the US blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz”
Scott Ritter’s incisive military analysis is a review of what could happen?M.C.
Iran launched 300 Zolfaghar ballistic missiles in a coordinated three-phase salvo against the USS George H.W. Bush inside the Strait of Hormuz.Every layer of American carrier defense — SM-6, RAM, Phalanx CIWS — was systematically overwhelmed by volume. The carrier is gone. 1,800 sailors are not coming home.
Washington is paralyzed between retaliation options its own consequence assessment calls catastrophic and diplomatic tracks it cannot politically survive.
This is a full strategic breakdown of the strike, the weapon, and what comes next for American naval power.
