The Straight of Hormuz issue is a big problem now

[Seymour Flops]

Why isn't that in the news? Who in Iran said that?

Your media only tell you what it wants you to hear.

Iran's Foreign Ministry said on Monday the Strait of Hormuz has not been closed but ship traffic is moving under special conditions as Iranian armed forces control passage through the waterway.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said insecurity created by the US and Israel had led Iran to tighten oversight of vessels passing through the strait.

"No coastal state in such a situation can allow enemy ships and vessels to move normally to strengthen themselves or carry out aggressive actions," Baghaei told a weekly news conference.

He added that countries not involved in military attacks against Iran had been able to pass through the strait in coordination with and with permission from Iran's armed forces.

I admit to not being a fan of Iran's news.

Iran's news is government news. So again, Iran says the strait is open.

 

[Robert W]

Yeah that's good and is what's keeping the price at the pump down oh wait ...

The per gallon increase is not remotely akin to 100 dollars per barrel.

You really are an ill informed clown .
Look at your asinine blunders :
1. Their leadership has not been taken out multiple times --- JUST ONCE ,and with their full pre- knowledge and appropriate replacement planning .
That is the way they operate .
2 .They never had an air force to begin with on their own admission , so your claim is childish .
3. Ditto , their Navy .
They never had one in the first place , just seven frigates and speed boats/ cutters

So your Air force and Navy comments are worthless drivel .

Iran has Missiles and Drones and an estimated 45000 of the former at the start .
These have rained hell on Israel and US bases across the Gulf -- none of which are now effective .
Your Zionist Terrorists have been incapable of resting control of Hormuz from the Freedom Fighters and your impotency is so great that you are now advertising globally for help .
So run along cloudy .
The US Israel Zionists are in for a long war and chances are the US will be humiliated and at the end Israel will largely be piles of rubble .

Got it. So nothing can be done forever?We have to bow down forever to terrorist wearing white sheets. The Obiden Euro-Globalist method. Just go along until it affects their stolen NGO money.

Several posters are devoted fans of Iran and it's ruthless killers.

What about your Carriers ?
Silence.
Obviously half a dozen are in dry dock for updating and repairs .
And we realise that the Abraham Lincoln is limping around having taken direct hits on its toilets .
But surely you can scrape up some sort of half decent show of strength .

P.S. What is your secret for stopping Oreshniks?
Do you paint the outsides in China's colours to fool the Cheeky Chappies?

SHUP loon. We could MOAB Mecca as final warning to the cotton tops. We spent $1T per year buying military hardware. Good time to use it.

Make no mistake, Iran is 90% weakened militarily for certain. Underground my butt. They can't build bridges without white man help from Europe. They want to sit around a campfire raping 16 yr old slaves praising Allah you dumb OX. These aren't MIT genius.

Right it was $75/Barrel. Up 25% is not 2X or 2/3x.

Domestic supply comes from the USA. So, it has nothing to do with Iran. What will break the balls of the alarmists is to see how cheap gasoline is in Saudi Arbia and Kuwait, in the area of the ship's stoppage problem.

Fuels in the USA still are cheaper than when Biden was president.

 

[Robert W]

Diesel in some places in town has reached $5.00 per gallon. This is VERY bad news for our economy.

It was higher priced when Biden was president.

Out west its been high(and of course CA) most of Trump. Over $3.50 mostly. But $2.50 nationwide? No one complaining too much yet.

 

[rightwinger]

People will be angry when the price of eggs go up $1 a dozen

They are outraged when gas goes up $1 a galon

 

[Captain Caveman]

Diesel £1.589 per litre.

That equates to $8.06 a US gallon.

You still have it cheap guys, quit crying.

 

[SaxonJackson]

It's not over yet. The price was $4.74 yesterday. It's $4.89 today.

Keep going back further, and you will reach the true answer.

I know it's hard for you, but just try anyway.

Do you really believe such nonsense ?
The reason why you have become Pariahs is your association with Israel which practices Genocide and Infanticide , and because you unilaterally declared war on a country for developing nuclear weapons but did so without the slightest shred of evidence .

Not too smart if you are trying to not be seen as a nation which practises terrorism .
Or are you just bankrupt and greedy to steal oil to defend your failing petro - dollar?

From a Neocon perspective -- the USA's Neocon madmen must become extreme terrorists and perform preemptive strikes in order to bring the rest of the world in line with America's "moral" standards.

In the meantime, America aborts more than a million babies per year. America hosts more than 770,000 homeless living on the street. America pardons a Honduran leader of a major drug cartel. America allows little kids to get their privates chopped off if they "feel" like a different gender during their formative years. America sends $Billions upon $Billions to other nations (Socialism) when America needs that money for her own needs.

America (at the moment) has NO BUSINESS telling the rest of the world that they need to be more like us. Bullshit!!!
