How Iran Tried to Shut the Strait of Hormuz at 5:18 AM — And Lost by

Описание: January 8, 2026. 5:18 AM.
Iran moves to shut the Strait of Hormuz.

Minutes later, the secure line rings on the bridge. USS Abraham Lincoln is ordered to abandon the South China Sea and sprint toward the Persian Gulf. With other carriers out of position, Washington turns to the only strike group capable of executing a true Day One response.

This video breaks down how Iran’s fast-boat and missile strategy collapsed in just 29 minutes—and why the Lincoln was the decisive counter. From Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) doctrine to carrier strike math, we analyze how stealth airpower, electronic warfare, and layered naval defense combined to keep the world’s most critical chokepoint open.

You’ll see how F-35C stealth fighters hunt mobile launchers, how EA-18G Growlers blind radar networks, and how Arleigh Burke–class destroyers build a defensive bubble against saturation attacks. This isn’t diplomacy or deterrence on paper—it’s deterrence enforced at sea.

With 21 million barrels of oil per day moving through Hormuz, this is the story of why control of the strait isn’t theoretical—and why the sprint mattered.

This is how the Strait of Hormuz stayed open.
