Iran Opens Strait of Hormuz

[mudwhistle]

I am watching the numbers go up...wait...I am looking at the stock market and the bond market...sorry. my mistake.

He wasn’t the cause.

Trump is solely responsible for the prices now.

He started an unnecessary and unwinnable war.

The biggest anxiety the world has faced in the last month is whether the Foolin the White House will double down on stupid.

Everyone knows that it is still a distinct possibility.

You are completely lost. Gas is lower today than it was when Biden was president. There is no big uptick in inflation despite the war or the tariffs. The economy will boom. Iran is not nearly the threat they were before. If it win all the way around. Wake up.

I love how all of the reports say that Iran opened it, I guess they just asked nicely for the US Navy to move their ships and the US Navy complied with their say so.

We haven't moved a damn thing. Pay attentionOldFarts!

 

[OldFlame]

We haven't moved a damn thing. Pay attentionOldFarts!

Tell that to Iran, geezer.

Trump trumped the mullahs here. They closed the strait, and Trump said fine, and the US Navy closed it tighter that the President's rear end. It only took a few days to bring Tehran to its senses.

Trump did not close the strait! He blockaded Iranian ports. Big ******* difference!

True

Strait is open….lefties are so mad.

This hurts their quest for USA COMMUNISM.

This is a global issue so it should not be moved to an Iran thread.

They have to.

Would you enjoy looking like an absolute jackass for the gazzilionth time vis a vis Donald Trump gloom and doom predictions?

But we also can't let the so-called "Right" that abandoned Trump off the hook regarding blame. (A tiny but vocal faction.)

In fact, they're arguably worse.

They really should have known better.

President Trump wasn't even in office when Iran's proxies attacked the Israeli music festival on October 7, 2023.

This happened during Sleepy Joe's reign of error.

Unprovoked?

Give me a break.

Unprovoked,

Iran did nothing to prompt Trump to start a war.

Trump did hand Israel a blank check to finance its mass murder and wanton mass destruction in Gaza.

Hezbollah and Iran are not the same thing. But you need to pretend otherwise to justify the right wing falsehood that there has been a war with Iran for 47 years. (which also self serving ly left out the US meddling beforehand.

You have lost your mind.

Hope it will last more than 10 days.

NATO is a bunch of useless retards.

The hezbos are a client of Iran's whether you like it or not.

That's why Iran asked for a deal between the Jews and Lebanon as part of the process.

It's open until a tanker gets blown up by a mine.

 

[SeaMajor7]

No new wars.
No forever wars.
The END of wars.

The Trump Doctrine.

It's not only MAGA, it's a worldwide paradigm shift.

Fundamental Islamic Terrorist Jihad, strive for the Caliphate, or other BIGOTED dreams of the radical SLAVES of Allah cannot be tolerated in a civil WORLD. Even the Gulf States that are Muslim that were attacked know this HAD to happen.

Soak in the history, you're living in it.

 

[Zavulon]

Trump, as usually, lied.
------------
Full statement by Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiyaa Headquarters:

‘Unfortunately, the Americans, with their repeated record of breaching promises, continue to engage in piracy and banditry under the guise of a so-called blockade.

For this reason, control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state and this strategic waterway remains under the strict management and control of the armed forces.

As long as the United States does not enable the complete freedom of movement of vessels from Iran to its destination and from its destination to Iran, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will remain strictly controlled and in its previous state.’

----------------
The Strait of Hormuz is still closed until the USA cease "blockade" of Iranian ports.

This is a global issue so it should not be moved to an Iran thread.
Looks like prices of oil will drop again below the democrat-era level we’ve seen the past few weeks.
Good news…

Iran reopens Strait of Hormuz, but threatens to close it again as the US maintains its blockade

Iran said it fully reopened the Strait of Hormuz to commercial vessels, but questions lingered Saturday about how much freedom ships actually had to transit the waterway as Tehran maintained its grip ...

www.yahoo.com

Well, this thread completely blew up in your face this morning....

Iran’s military announced it has closed the Strait of Hormuz just a day after the country declared the waterway open, decrying the U.S. blockade and leaving the status of the vital waterway unclear.
