The war of words in the Persian Gulf has turned into a direct threat against the U.S. Navy.

Mohsen Rezaei, a senior adviser to the Supreme Leader, warned the U.S. to prepare for a "graveyard of carriers," reminding Washington of past military failures in Isfahan. As both sides dig in, the world’s most vital energy chokepoint is now a theater for a high-stakes information war and a potential naval clash.
