re: #471 Mosh

It would be part - along with using a few of their minisubs to go after soft targets - making it more expensive to transit the Gulf and to increase the price of oil due to the tensions in the region that would allow the Iranians (who are already highly dependent on oil sales for revenues as they have few other items to export of value).

Many of their past war games have attempted to showcase these weapons and test their capabilities. Some have been laughable, but some of the weapons can cause significant damage should they hit their target.

For example, a shkval hitting an fully loaded oil tanker would be catastrophic to the tanker and cause significant environmental damage to boot.
