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

[shockedcanadian]

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

 

[pknopp]

So he is going to block what is already blocked.

LOL

Leadership?! Trump is making America a pariah.

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.

Trump doesn’t control the strait; Iran does.

Only to Democrats.

Not anymore comrade.

 

[konradv]

Only to Democrats.

Trump is making America a pariah around the world.

Trump is making America a pariah around the world.

Confirmation?

If Mr. Trump does not MAKE SURE The wonderful PEOPLE of Iran do not suffer under Iran's new leadership, then he will have failed miserably. The IRG and it's members should be treated as the Nazis were post WW2.

First because the actions of the US will have created a bigger problem for the people of Iran on a personal level.
Secondly, because this will appear that the ONLY concern was oil and money.
The world will see and remember this.
The Iranian people are some of the kindest, most caring people on the planet and deserve better.

DO NOT Leave Iran until the freedom and security of the Iranian PEOPLE is also secured. Not just Oil.

Not reading the news, I see. LOL

U.S. naval destroyers have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM says

The destroyers were beginning mine-clearing operations in the vital waterway, U.S. Central Command said Saturday.

Two U.S. Navy destroyers had transited the Strait of Hormuz to begin mine-clearing operations in the vital waterway, U.S. Central Command said Saturday.

The destroyers crossed through the Strait and operated in the Arabian Gulf, CENTCOM said on social media. Additional U.S. forces, including underwater drones, will "join the clearance effort in the coming days," CENTCOM said.

Those have always been Trump’s only concerns with money going into his pocket being #1.

From the OP:

"I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their 'Leaders,' are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition," he said.

That's how it is done, Democxrats and "not Democrats." Self-proclaimed statesmen start acting like gangsters, you can try to "be the bigger person" but that rarely works with rogue nations (if ever?). When it doesn't work, it's time to show them that they messed with the wrong thugs this time.

A gang starts running a protection racket in your neighborhood, you first stop the payments and then you wipe out any rival gang members who try to collect by force.

Who is in charge of Iran right now, pknopp?

You believe state regime media?!

 

[Seymour Flops]

None of the Mullah cheerleaders on here have yet to name (with evidence) a ship that has actually paid this toll and how much they paid.

 

[SaxonJackson]

Only to Democrats.

... and America First, Conservatives. He literally turned on his base. His claims about the Strait of Hormuz and the status of his war change from hour to hour. Nobody can trust or believe a single thing he says.

It isn't going to happen. Delusions.

Ships that pay $2 million, Chinese and other allies of Iran were allowed through, not anymore.
