Thank you for your service

My point is that even after attacking the Houthis, the Red Sea is not open to shipping

Red Sea Passage Remains a No-Go for Shipping Despite U.S. Action​

Traffic through the Suez Canal is down about 60 percent since 2023, even after Trump-ordered attacks on the Houthis and now a cease-fire.

I just heard that it's up the the Supreme Leader to decide to mine or not.

If he does it may well be the last thing he does.

The USA / Israel violated international law, the UN Charter and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons by attacking Iran. Once no one cares about laws and there are no penalties for violating them; it is a Mad Max world and the only thing that matters is might makes right.

The keyboard commandos say Iran should have negotiated and taken Trump's deal. Iran did negotiate for 60 days. Jews told Trump they want the 'Libyan option' for Iran. Trump's deal was, zero nuclear enrichment, give up all your missiles, change regimes and unconditional surrender. Once Iran was disarmed, the USA could invade and put in their puppet. They could shut off China's oil and use Iran as a staging ground to take down Russia. It would be akin to taking down Iraq for false weapons of mass destruction claims and then using Iraq as a staging ground for taken down Iran...which is what the USA has done. Once Russia was broken up, they could then move on to China.

That's the score, bub.

Iran, like North Korea, would never voluntarily give up its nukes. Iran has been in violation of everything for forty years. They are as big a pain in world's ass as is Israel.

The Iranian Navy is on a suicide mission.

What we did yesterday was an act of war

 

[Rocko]

It already has...The media and "experts" just haven't the stones to admit as much.

What? Do you actually think this is WWIII?

 

[irosie91]

can you answer the question? IMO---Iran declared war against the USA decades
ago-----so far we have not returned the compliment---we have responded to MULTIPLE
acts of aggression and we are supporting an ally which is under INCESSANT AGGRESSION
from Iran. ------simple

I’m not seeing the relevance to closing the strait as an act of war, we bombed them, that is an act of war. Closing the strait is retaliation to an act of war, not an act of war.

 

[Failzero]

Now the British , Italian and Spanish …Navy can get involved

I will help since you seem to want to consider the issue moot in that WE ARE ALREADY in a
state of war. -----Yes---I agree. We are in a state of war based on Iranian aggression AND
DECLARATION------as to the Strait of Hormuz closure----it is a GROSS ACT OF AGGRESSION
IN THE COURSE OF WAR to which we are obligated to respond

Portugal and The UK and Spain and Italy … did not bomb them

I suspect the US will know if the Iranians start laying mines in the Straits and Trump will destroy their ability to do so and wipe out a good bit of their Navy, such as it is. Right or wrong, Trump is not the ***** that past presidents have been. If Iran attempts to close the Straits then they'll pay a price for that. But as a consequence I suspect they'll increase their support of terrorism world-wide. I would not be surprised to see an attack here at home somewhere.

Iran's parliament has approved the closure of the key oil shipping route Strait of Hormuz after the US bombed three of its nuclear facilities, state media Press TV reported today.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical chokepoints, through which a fifth of global oil and gas supply flows.

Just happened so not much more on it for now.....Hopefully it's just blustering from a dying regime.

China, being the primary victim of such a closure, might have something to say about it.

Thank you, President Peacenik.
