Trump declares a blockade of the Strait, takes Irans leverage away

[Crepitus]

I suggested this on here very early. I hope he is right, this an international waterway and at least at worst, it will reinstate Americas global leadership US delegation departs Pakistan after peace talks with Iran fail

So.... The strait is blocked by Iran.

tRump's answer is to block it from this side too?

How is that gonna help?

 

[Crepitus]

No, he is going to control what enters and exits rather than Iran and their benefactors. I believe this is the right move.

Starve them of resources and take away their only source of leverage, turn the entire narrative on the war.

He's doing their work for them. As long as they are strangling the global economy they are beating tRump.

Not anymore comrade.

Iran: "we're blocking the strait"

tRump: "Nuh-uh, I'm blocking it"

Iran: "Meh, po-tay-to - po-tah-to".

"As of April 2026, Iran maintains one of the Middle East's largest and most diverse arsenals, despite significant degradation from recent US and Israeli strikes, which reduced its stockpile by roughly half, leaving an estimated 1,500+ medium-range ballistic missiles and thousands of drones. The arsenal relies on deep, underground 'missile cities' and includes precision-guided missiles (Fateh and Sejjil families) and long-range drones."

Or we can finish them.

How many American lives are you willing to sacrifice for that outcome?

I did. Every one a way for Saudi Arabia to make more money. Or Israel.

It essentially is a NATO style deal that centers on the Middle East without a bunch of European freeloaders being involved.

The Saudi Royals hold up their end of trade and defense deals without guile or deceit.
Which is 10,000 times more honorable than Europe has been.

And currently the US is making up the shortfalls for the Hormuz Strait. Meaning that the days of special deals for petroleum are over and everyone has to pay market price. Including China.

Did Trump say that closing the Strait is good for world economies?

The US will not be closing the Strait. It will simply not allow any ship that has paid Iran's "toll" to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Meantime, while the ceasefire continues, the US will continue to remove the mines from the area so that ships that have not paid the "toll" will be able to pass, probably with US escorts. If Iran fires on these ships, the ceasefire will end and the allies will start again to bomb Iranian targets.

Which ships have to pay tolls?

How is the US going to stop ships from passing through the Strait? What if its a Chinese ship or Russian?

Wait til morning. Everything will be 180 degrees from today.

Liberals have gotten so high off their circlejerking anti-Trump echo chamber propaganda that they now unironically think they are psychic and can predict the future.
Fascinating.

Adolf?

Im not the one supporting Mullahs who want to exterminate Jews

 

[BackAgain]

And yet Trump thinks he can. Lol

Different circumstances, as we all know. Even you.

Iran is demanding all ships in the Gulf pay a toll to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and is threatening to destroy them if they don't.

It would not be the first time the US had stopped Russian or Chinese ships in international waters.

Why are we charging to transit the Panama Canal?

We aren't. But the fee is to cover the bonds floated to build it, same as bridge tolls.

Is Trump schizophrenic? Last week it was open the Strait or get nuked ya stinking Muzzies! This week nothing gets through the Strait! Let the world die, no fuel, no fertilizer, no plastics, muahahahahahhaAHAHHAha. Trump just edged ahead of Bibi for The Biggest Pariah Nation on Earth

Let the weenies fume, we're working on Iran. After the man work is done the weenies can say "thank you".
