I've Been Thinking:

Things aren’t going well for Iran’s military.

On June 2nd, Iran’s largest naval ship caught fire and sank near the port of Jask.
There has been no confirmation as to the cause of the fire.

A day earlier, an airplane accident led to the death of two Iranian pilots.

These news events were confirmed by Tasnim, one of the official media outlets of Iranian leadership. The name of the ship was the Kharg. It is a helicopter carrier and from the ship’s deck, dozens of attack helicopters could land or launch. But it was more than that. This ship was also outfitted with electrical generators capable of supplying electricity for an entire city.

According to an Iranian official: “This ship is one of the most advanced vessels of the Iranian military and is sometimes called a helicopter carrier.”

Tensions are extremely high throughout the region. There have been Iranian attacks on Israeli interests on the high seas. And there have been attacks against Iranian ship and targets that, Iran claims, have been the work of Israel.

Iran has not only been attacking Israeli vessels. They have also harassed US naval ships, US coastguard boats and commercial US vessels in the region.
Iran is keeping busy – and that’s not good news for anyone.
