Hormuz Closed Again After Trump Double-Crosses on Port Blockade, Breaks Ceasefire Terms

[The Sage of Main Street]

Democrats go crazy, nuts, out of their minds, if the topic of us buying condoms for Africans gets shut down. They are furious. When we spend money crap ideas, they are not furious, they are delirious.

Do-gooders Fear DOGE

The antisemites won’t admit all that Israel has done for America because, you know….Jews….but they have provided invaluable military intelligence and technology.

(Ever notice they don’t ask what we’ve ever gotten for all the money we give to Kenya, or Somalia, or Jordan, or Ukraine, or Egypt, or Lebanon, or Yemen, etc., etc?)

Thanks for bringing this news to us all. I had no idea how much help Israel has been for the USA to defeat terrorists from entering the USA.

From your article:

"Technologies, for example, that Israel developed and honed years ago to detect, map and destroy Hezbollah and Hamas tunnels were shared with Americans. The United States then used these Israeli technologies to find and neutralize drug-smuggling tunnels under our southern border that could also be used by terrorists to infiltrate the United States. These same technologies developed in Israel also helped U.S. troops deployed to the Middle East to defeat the Islamic State group and other terrorists that use tunnels to approach, surveil and attack U.S. military bases."

He does. Your leader resembles him.

This is a good thing. It helps our electric car industry and helps solar take over so we don't have to use fossil fuels anymore.

In the future we won't need this straight anymore.

I love Jews. You hate Muslims and Arabs and want them all murdered. Racist pig!

Who’s right?

You have a MAJOR TYPO in your post!

We don't need it now. Electric cars have a major problem. Well now, 2 problems. Weight is really severe. Batteries of course take too much time to recover.

I think you are a bit confused.

That ship illegally crossed into Iranian waters. They were released 15 hours later.

No money changed hands.

Money that was returned to Iran was money that the Iranians were owed.

Obama gave the Iranian terrorists hundreds of millions of dollars without approval of congress or the courts.

Dumb Don is trapped. The Israelis are blackmailing him over his involvement with Epstein, and they demand he escalate this dumb war and mass murder Iranian civilians. The Israeli way. If he does escalate, he risks a global depression. Trapped!

My guess is he escalates. Operation Epstein Fury may explode.

Is this famous American Jewish professor an antisemite?

On 20 April 2026, I was on “The Chris Hedges Report” talking about where the Iran war is headed. Chris and I mainly concentrated on trying to make sense of what President Trump is doing to end the conflict on favorable terms for the US. Although many believe that he will escalate after the two-week ceasefire expires on Wednesday (April 22), I made the case that I thought that was unlikely for two reasons. First, he cannot win a military victory if he goes up the escalation ladder as the Iranians hold most of the cards. Second, escalation would prolong the war and further reduce the oil and gas flowing out of the Persian Gulf (and probably the Red Sea), which is likely to take the world economy off the precipice.
Given this ominous prospect, Trump has a powerful incentive to cut a deal with Iran as soon as possible. But the chief problem he faces is that Israel does not want a deal. It wants the US to continue the war and try to beat Iran into submission. Given the stranglehold the Israel lobby has on Trump, he does not have much maneuver room. All of this is to say, even if he cuts some sort of deal with Iran, Israel and its minions in the US will work overtime to undermine it. Trump is boxed in and he knows it, which I think explains much of his erratic and outrageous behavior in recent weeks.
In short, Israel and its lobby bamboozled Trump into starting a losing war against Iran and now they won’t let him end it.

Democrats had the Epstein files for a decade and found nothing on Trump, but they know their best weapons are false accusations based on lies with no proof.

And yet you’re supporting genocide just like a Nazi.

Lol. The Dems don’t want the files released just as much as your beloved orange traitor.

The SCOTUS settled a decades old case by declaring the Shah's money was to be distributed among victims of Iranian terror. Nobody has adequately explained where Obama got the hundreds of millions of dollars to unilaterally donate to his Muslim pals in illegitimate brutal tyrannical charge of Iran.

We aren't talking about the Shah's money. We are talking about Iranian national assets that were seized by the US after the Hostage Crisis and not returned after we promised to do so.

What's the real story behind the settlement of a decades-old financial dispute between the United States and Iran?

www.brookings.edu

In 1982, Iran filed a claim with the Tribunal pertaining to the FMS Trust Fund, which Lisa Grosh, Assistant Legal Advisor at the Department of State, has described as “a multi-billion dollar breach-of-contract dispute covering 1,126 huge military sales contracts.”

Grosh stated that the two sides engaged in some 40 rounds of negotiations “at this level” over several decades. Iran ramped up efforts to adjudicate the claim in 2015, asking the Tribunal to schedule comprehensive hearings on the outstanding FMS claims and requesting a preliminary ruling. The FMS Trust Fund amounted to $600 million until the George H. W. Bush administration returned $200 million to Iran in a partial settlement in 1990.

Who paid who? And how?​

The settlement announced in January involved two parts: return of the $400 million principal and payment of $1.3 billion in interest.

To return the principal, the Treasury, working with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, made a $400 million wire transfer from DFAS to the Swiss National Bank. The $400 million was then converted into Swiss francs and withdrawn in franc banknotes, which were transferred to Geneva. On January 17, the banknotes were disbursed to an official from the Central Bank of Iran.

We have had five or six rounds and poor old Motor Mouth is so far behind on points that it is becoming more and more humiliating for Americans each passing day .

But against that , it looks as though Project Energy and Food Starvation is progressing and on schedule , though Trumpfy definitely needs to get the scriptwriters to start painting him in a better light .
Americans are losing faith in him and the rest of the world is laughing at him and ridiculing America .
Which suggests that we should get a surprise in the next few days to re-engage an audience which is getting rather bored with his predictable routines .

Get some boots and bombs on ground Trumpfy .
Do something , Dammit
Try and look like a misguided General rather than a failed person and Politician .

I do not believe Trump-hating democrats refused to release damaging info on Trump with Epstein that they allegedly knew they had for years while they were trying to destroy Trump in numerous other ways. Democrats had the Epstein files for years and they found nothing damaging about Trump.

If the money belonged to the people of Iran as you claim then why did Obama give the money to the illegitimate thugs holding the people of Iran hostage? If the money Obama took upon himself to give to the terrorists was from money deposited in 1979 then why was the money never given to the people of Iran until Obama took it upon himself as a lame duck to give the money to terrorists decades later? Other presidents did not jump the gun like Obama did by settling the issue in spite of the issue still being tied up in court.

There is nothing partisan about Epstein. He was involved with plenty of Ds and Rs. Neither crime family wants the files released. This should be obvious to you. It’s way Genocide Joe didn’t release them.

Many Trumpers desperately want to make Epstein partisan, to try and minimize the damage to their orange Messiah. Is that what you’re doing???

Only fools protect pedophiles.

You are not making a persuasive case for why the democrats refused to release the Epstein files they allegedly possessed which exposed Trump in alleged crimes with Epstein.
