Iranian state media is reporting that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, which have continued today.
Israel has said a ceasefire struck between the U.S. and Iran late yesterday doesn’t include its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, where it launched its largest co-ordinated strike in the war to date.The Lebanese Health Ministry said 112 people have been killed today.
Most stranded oil and gas tankers remained inside the Persian Gulf.
I think this is a good move by Iran. Maybe, just maybe, just maybe this might motivate the rest of the planet to also put pressure on Israel. Just for the record, the rest of the planet should not need any motivation to be putting pressure upon Israel and their genocidal activities
Trusting Iran is a bit like trusting Putin, they can open and close this strait 100 times depending on how good their shit was this morning. Then Trump has to react, then they open it up again. Oh no something happened we don’t like, strait closed etc forever.
Seems like that playbook.
The westoid brain is fascinating.
This is the first time the strait has been closed, period. Caused explicitly by your pedophile owners attacking Iran. Who has been nothing but defensive to itself and its allies for the entirety of the current government’s existence.
Iran has been nothing but a victim acting logically and down right peacefully. Your Pedophile owners are the aggressors.
what i don’t understand is why the rest of the middle east puts up with them.
The Gulf monarchies are unsustainable as anything other than vassal states. If they play nice with the biggest bullies, they get paid handsomely and a small fraction of them can be rich beyond reason and fly around in luxury jets with their personal organ donors.
Except now Iran is calling the bluff of the big bully, demonstrating that America and Israel won’t protect them.
I don’t know the actual conversations but can anticipate that it’s simply the easiest thing to do, and as ever, we will each be under threat by the US, if we do not bend over for them
Agreed. They are the spoiled brat of the world that no one ever punishes or holds them accountable.
That’s the luxury of being a 5th generation holocaust survivor, I guess… Jezz.
But… but… holding them accountable would be antisemitic
/s
We should get rid off of this attitude. Israel is almost certainly the terrorist state. To stop this form of terrorism is not antisemitism. Israel is taking advantage of the fact that no one would ever want to be antisemitic, and they will scream that every time someone says that they should not do something bad.
Trump could get Israel to stop if he wanted to. The US provides a lot of military and economic aid to Israel.
No he couldn’t, since Israel has Epstein blackmail on Trump that he doesn’t want released.
I mean, he still could and also accept the consequences of the blackmail being released, but he won’t. Not entirely sure what he’s afraid of at this point, it’s not like he’s faced real consequences for anything else up to this point, what could he have done worse than raping and killing kids. But I also doubt he’s really interested in ending the conflict diplomatically, he’ll just lie about who’s responsible for the ceasefire falling apart and use it to justify whatever atrocities they feel like.
We barely even scratched the surface of the Epstein files. We don’t know what kind of demented shit is in there that’s worse than running a child sex trafficking ring for the elite, but there’s definitely worse in those files, otherwise they wouldn’t be redacting what’s already out there and not releasing the rest.
As we all know, there’s only one person Trump cares about, and he will do anything to protect what is left of his image in his dementia-riddled mind, even if it’s literally counter-productive, like bombing school children in Iran.
its also billionaires and other world politicians that are in the files, that havnt been doxxed yet, thats who hes trying to protect, also too much attention to himself from the files, since hes in it so many times.
plus the media wouldnt immediately start reporitng on “blanche replacing BONDI” and it would bring up even more question.
