Theyve shown us, i think, the extent of their capability. so, im not sure they have a viable next level of escalation here. however, to say, they face, alex, i could see them trying to take down another merchant ship, as they did about three months ago. they still hold a ship called the galaxy in one of their ports. 25 mariners are held hostage. they may try to lash out by taking down another commercial ship. but that navy, u.s. navy, and the coalition partners are going to do everything they ca...
