Video from PressTV shows tankers sitting in the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian drones hovering around, ready to hit them if they switch on their engines and "move even a few meters."

The Persian Gulf island, targeted by U.S. strikes, is home to Iran’s main oil export terminal. Any disruption could jolt global energy markets.
The US air force on Friday bombed oil and military facilities on Kharg Island, a small landmass on the other side of the Persian Gulf off the northern coast of Iran.
5000 Marines are being sent to Iran and the capture of Kharg Island is potentially on the table, according to reports citing US officials.
The notion that 5000 Marines can storm and capture Kharg Island while targetted by drones and missiles and under sttack from Iranian military with the US bases close in the Gulf States virtually destroyed is fantastical.
US forces are also running out of key missiles.
And even if the Mrines do capture Kharg Island, how long can they hold it? And even if they do hold it, how does that secure the Strait of Hormuz and restore the oil flows?
Tankers can be hit from multiple locations using all kinds of drones and ballistics.
Crazy?
