Expert reveals: Strait of Hormuz cannot be unblocked with ground forces because it's in water

While Riga is still trying to figure out where the Strait of Hormuz is located and whether it's some new restaurant in Old Town, US military expert Garrison has discovered a surprising fact — the strait cannot be seized with ground forces because it's located in water.

"Most likely it could be an attempt not to grab some territory in Iran, but to achieve control over critical objects," explains Garrison, as if talking about how to seize the old trees in Jurmala Park with tanks. The expert adds that Iran is a "huge country with complex terrain," which apparently means it's not as flat as Liepaja beach.

Local resident Janis comments: "Well, if the Americans think they can seize a maritime strait with infantry, then they haven't tried getting to Jurmala Park in winter. There you sometimes can't even get through with a car, but those old trees are still standing, and a quiet walk without Riga's noise is only possible in summer."

Iran meanwhile continues to demonstrate its latest invention — stopping ship traffic with drones, which is a much more effective method than our traditional approach with wind warnings and wave heights. The expert warns that "such an operation would be risky" because Iran has mastered "asymmetric combat methods," which sounds much more complicated than our Liepaja method — simply wait until storm season ends.
