Iran Just Fired Missiles So The U.S. Military Did THIS

About this video

Max analyzes recent developments in the Strait of Hormuz, describing how the U.S. military systematically cleared Iranian naval mines using advanced unmanned systems. He recounts President Trump’s social media post claiming the waterway and explains the coordinated counter-mine operations involving F-35s, P-8 Poseidons, underwater drones, and robot boats. Max also covers Iran’s ballistic missile launches toward UAE waters and provides his analysis of how the mine removal undermines Iran’s strategic leverage.

Key takeaways

• Max describes how the U.S. completed mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz months ahead of the Pentagon’s initial six-month estimate using coordinated unmanned systems
• According to Max, Iran’s minefield strategy was primarily about creating leverage through insurance and shipping uncertainty rather than direct military confrontation
• Max explains the layered defense architecture where F-35s and F-22s protect surveillance aircraft like P-8 Poseidons, which coordinate with surface and underwater drones for mine detection
