I agree with that. US importing oil from our neighbors isn't affected by Hormuz, except for that temporary price bump.
They think paying $4 gas is winning too.
So earlier this week, you were celebrating that (I still can't fathom that anyone would believe this but....you did) the US was going to sell a quarter of a billion barrels of oil to ships that were not going to the Persian Gulf.....
Someone didn't sign for the delivery.
I'm celebrating that the US can fill 170 or so tankers that can't get thru Hormuz. Its a good thing for the US.
Who said we're not selling it? Unless the tankers turned around when Iran said that Hormuz was open.
You just can't admit that the naval blockade of Iran's oil is the winning move. If Iran can't move oil their wells slow down, its not like a spigot. The longer Iran does not comply the less oil they can produce. I think Iran needs to "drink from the poison chalice" again before its too late. Why do you keep cheering for Iran? Trump should get the result that the JCPOA could not get.
What will Trump give up? Absolutely nothing. We will end the blockade only after Iran gives up everything we demand.
So stupid. You just can't see that the naval blockade puts Iran in a no-win situation.

You never explained where a quarter of a billion barrels of oil are going to come from....
If the strait was open, would you spend 2 weeks coming over here?
If it was, I would be.
Actually the previous agreement was getting results. Trump couldn't stand it so he tore it up and now we have what we have, a closed strait, $4 gas, and dead soldiers...again....for oil...again....in the middle east...again....because a republican chicken hawk piece of sh!t president sent them there....again.
Yeah, you seem to be forgetting that that capacity was already allocated. The only oil we have any flexibility with is in the strategic preserves.
I agree with you that Trump made a grave mistake in allowing a ceasefire. The only way to permanently open the Strait is to destroy all Iranian military presence within several miles of the coast and all supporting infrastructure, especially all fuel storage tanks. Without fuel, the ayatollahs' little gunboats, all that is left of their navy, cannot operate in the Gulf and cannot threaten shipping.
If they don't have it they can't sell it. It would be a very long trip for nothing. These oil guys aren't stupid.
Of course not, but we don't know when Hormuz will be fully open, so getting a load in the US is a sure thing.
The US naval blockade is the winning move. If you don't think so, please explain why not.
The JCPOA expired. It had end dates. Iran cheated on it anyway. It was worthless.
If you believe that Iran should NEVER have nuclear weapons, then Trump's military enforcement of the "JCPOA" is the only answer. Diplomacy only works with honorable countries, not with state sponsors of terrorism.
Oil is a commodity, it can be purchased, if you don't have it you can't sell it.
Oh I'm sure we have it....a lot of it was meant for the domestic market. Now it's going to Asia. Congrats.
LOL...wait.. Trump said we won the war.
The price of retail gasoline was about $2.80 a gallon before the tantrum. Now it's over $4 a gallon.
No it didn't.
It did...it was abandoned before it expired.
Not according to inspectors.
You're getting yourself and the agreement confused.
Israel was doing a pretty good job of wiping out capability. That didn't serve the purpose of distracting from the failing domestic agenda though; so thats why your blob started dropping bombs.
So why is your blob talking to them? Or are you saying we're the dishonorable country?
Not to point out the obvious but you seem really dense.Oil is a commodity, it can be purchased, if you don't have it you can't sell it.
United States to Release 172 Million Barrels of Oil From the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright released the following statement regarding the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)www.energy.gov
Iran's totally obliterated navy shot up two tankers.
Small arms fire from gunboats, but it was enough to get the insurance companies to deny coverage to tankers that try to pass through the Strait. The ayatollahs' navy appears to be less well armed than the Somali pirates.
Agreed. But thats literally all they need. This is why I support the Trump blockade and going back with a campaign to destroy their entire petroleum and power industry. To make nukes it costs lots of money. No money no nukey.
The blockade is shutting down the ayatollahs' oil industry. Since they can't sell any oil and their storage tanks will soon be full, the ayatollahs will have shut down all operations in their oil fields.
Again.. oil is global. It doesnt matter where your oil comes from. A world market smoothes out the prices to everyone. Canada is shipping to China driving UP our costs.
We import oil, we export oil, we use oil, it all comes out in the wash.
I believe we won the war, but Iran may need some time and/or more devastation to understand that its time to "drink from the poison chalice" again.
Nope. Its under $4 here.
True. Trump said "no nukes ever, period"
Clueless inspectors and diplomats got scammed by Iran. Iran cheated, they even bragged about cheating.
Total nonsense. Tru,mp had to fecide to either let Iran have nukes and ICBMs, or to prevent them from getting them.
They have enriched uranium, we want to take it from them.
LOL. From a low-IQ democrat
You are speculating with no proof. Prove that the 170 tankers won't get loaded with oil. You can't.
The only circus was Obama and the JCPOA. Obama gave Iran $56,000,000,000 to not develop nukes or ICBMs, whereupon Iran used that money to develop nukes, drones, ICBMs, and all types of weaponry.
/---/ It appears there is a power struggle between the moderate leaders and the hardliners. Good thing we have a strong leader in charge and not the weak-kneed marshmallows like we had who let this thing fester.
