6 IRGC Gunboats SURROUND U.S. Tanker in Hormuz — USS McFaul Captain Orders "BATTLE STATIONS"

Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz escalated sharply after reports emerged that six IRGC Navy fast-attack gunboats aggressively maneuvered around a U.S.-linked oil tanker, forcing an immediate response from nearby American naval forces. According to regional monitoring channels, the USS McFaul (DDG-74) issued a “Battle Stations” order, signaling full combat readiness as the situation rapidly deteriorated. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most strategically sensitive maritime chokepoints on Earth, carrying nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. Any confrontation in these waters has consequences far beyond the ships involved. Iranian fast-attack craft are designed for swarm tactics — fast, heavily armed, and intended to overwhelm larger warships through speed and numbers rather than firepower alone. In this video, we break down: • Why IRGC gunboat swarms are one of the U.S. Navy’s most persistent asymmetric threats • What a “Battle Stations” order actually means aboard an American destroyer • How quickly routine shadowing can escalate into live-fire engagement in Hormuz • The rules of engagement governing U.S. naval commanders under provocation • Why even a non-kinetic encounter in the Strait can trigger global market and security shockwaves This incident highlights how seconds, not hours, determine outcomes in confined waters where miscalculation can spiral into direct confrontation between state actors. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This video is intended for educational and analytical purposes only.
