The guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG
62) launches a Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) as
apart of a joint ballistic missile defense exercise.
According to President Trump, it’s going to be up to the U. S. Navy to keep the sea lanes open and the oil tankers steaming freely through the Strait of Hormuz. Although it’s roughly 9,000 nautical miles from Hattiesburg to the Persian Gulf, we will soon feel the effects of the Iranian conflict at the gas pumps, as around twenty percent, or 18-21 million barrels per day, of the world’s oil flows through the Strait.

In 1971, a royal celebration was held in Iran. It was the 2,500th birthday of the Iranian monarchy, a rule which began with King Cyrus the Great of Persia in 539 BC and continued (with a few interregnums) to the reign of Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi in the 20th century. Shah Pahlavi ascended to the Iranian throne in 1941, making 1971 not only a celebration of the Persian monarchy lasting two and a half millennia, but also the Shah’s 30-year Jubilee.
