It’s glaringly obvious that Israel is just there to sabotage every diplomatic avenue the US might take.
And the US is basically getting cuckolded as Israel gets everything it wants and the US just impotently watches and pays for it all.
There’s really no excuse for Israel to be doing this, and they also assassinated negotiators earlier. They really do not want any peace treaty or the US to pull out.
Which puts Trump in a great position because he’s apparently getting phonecalls on the daily from the Saudis pressuring him to sort out the Hormuz and the “Iran keeps blowing up oil infrastructure” situation. And since the Saudi’s have got a lot of leverage on his family business it’s no wonder he’s been publicly crashing out. There’s even a rumor (so take it with a grain of salt) that some of the Middle Eastern sovereign-wealth funds backing the WB+Paramount deal are considering pulling out; and Trump wants as much media as he can to fall into the hands of his oligarch buddies.
So, appease Israel for political gain with paleoconservatives? Or appease your wealthy business partners? 🤔
He has to appease Israel as they clearly have the dirt on him. He has to appease the Saudi’s or they’ll destroy him financially. Haha. Hope he strokes out.
The Iranians know that Trump cannot actually guarantee that Israel will stop doing anything, that Trump has no realistic ability to force Israel to stop.
… What they almost certainly actually want from the US is a withdrawal from region, cessation between US+GCC<->Iran hostilities, some kind of recognition of some kind of Hormuz tolling set up (they want that as a UN resolution, revenue split with Oman, the idea is the toll would replace demands for reparation payments), and something approximating a pledge of neutrality from the US in the ongoing exchanges between Iran and Israel.
They want the US to effectively bow out and also admit that the Israelis are insane and the US is impotent to stop them.
They will of course act outraged and surprised that the US, under Republicans, cannot actually stop its rabid ally… but they obviously already know that to be the case.
The Iranians are literally the most rational actor i this conflict.
They want to essentially be the new ones to cuck the US.
My read on the situation:
the US is basically getting cuckolded as Israel gets everything it wants and the US just impotently watches and pays for it all.
I aint saying shes a gold digger…
But she ain’t messin with no ceasefire
Yes but enough time for some market manipulation
I really am starting to think it is that simple and they dont care about anything other than wealth.
Zero sum game absolutist?
So, who has the fucking cards
Satanyahu
Israel yet again violating another ceasefire.
Cue Republicans and Dems alike blaming Iran for it
Called it
I’ll give you credit and a ⭐
Although calling out Israel violating a ceasefire is like predicting it’ll be 12:01 when its 12:00
Is this how I learn about this? Is it actually closed again?
Israel didn’t want to stop bombing Libanon, so Iran keep the strait closed until they stop.
I’m liking Iran more and more everyday.
Yuuuup
The strait of Hormuz is a McDonald’s ice cream machine.
One day I had worked for 18 hours straight. I was going home at 1AM and walked past a McDonald’s. It was in the middle of summer, 35 degrees all day, but cooling off at night. I really needed a pick me up, so I walked in and approached the counter. A pretty lady looked at me and said: “I know exactly how you feel and what you are here for”. In my mind she transformed into an angel and felt the holy energy radiating out. Then she followed up with: “I’m SO sorry, our ice-cream machine broke”. I didn’t even say anything, I just stared at her, a tear pushing it’s way out of the corner of my eye. I mumbled something like “It’s fine, don’t worry about it”, turned around and walk out. I’m not even sure how I got home that day, I was just mentally destroyed. This was 20 years ago and I still remember that moment :'(
That’s on you for expecting their ice cream machine to actually fucking work
Continuing your example, maybe someone can build a website for it like the McDonald’s one?
So, a lot of stuff blew up including kids and nothing has changed.
Who blew up kids?
Besides, every nation that’s ever gone to war? First to go, are the young and the poor.
“Stop fucking killing people, assholes” is a hard position to argue with.
How long was it open?
Long enough for Israel and USA to fuck themselves further.
I don’t think a single ship went through, so it really wasn’t.
Misinformation. A few ships go through, but not many.
19 seconds.
More like the Strait of Schrodinger

On the plus side, we get some more IRGC trolling and lego videos, which is good because I can’t afford to drive anywhere or buy food.
