Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz Friday instead of heading to Switzerland for nuclear negotiations, citing Israel’s refusal to pull forces out of southern Lebanon and US forces’ ongoing presence in the region.
In a statement read over maritime radio channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US was in violation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, which President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed Wednesday.
“Since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until these conditions are met,” it said. “All ships are requested, for the sake of their security and safety, not to approach the Strait of Hormuz. Any vessel that defies this directive will be targeted.”
So the American surrender didn’t do squat, eh?
Nukes are so 20th century. Who needs nukes when you can literally shut down the global economy with a phone call?
Watching this every day is like watching two narcissists with autism arguing.
How so?
Iranian, Israeli, and US leadership are all self absorbed authoritarians who care more about looking powerful and could give fuck all about the ppl they supposedly govern
Bro, iran found out that if they just block the strait they wont get bombed. In what universe is keeping their cities from being bombed not giving a fuck all about their people?
All the Iranians in exile will probably tell you the current government doesnt give a shit about the populace
At least Iran is trying to save millions of people from being bombed to shit.
So it can cover, cane, and oppress them.
There are no good guys here. Mommy and Daddy are fighting to see who gets to fiddle the kids.
I was referring to Gaza and Lebanon.
Iran only cares about those because they know if they let Gaza and Lebanon fall to Israel unopposed, Iran is next. It’s complete self interest.
There is no “Iran is next.” Pretty sure Isreal and the US just tried to beat Iran into submission and failed. Iran’s time came and they survived.
Iran could easily turn it’s back on Lebanon and survive, just as the rest of the world has. But unlike the rest of the world it’s actually using the leverage it has to stop a massive genocide.
No one is saying Iran is a wonderful country with leaders that belive in peace and equality for their people but the blood on the US and Isreal hands flows further than Irans.
What’s that got to do with autism?
Ever overhear an argument at a gaming convention?
Yes, but that’s because they are assholes not autistic
Hyper fixated on being dicks?
Don’t need autism to do that.
Powerful and resourceful gangsters have banded together to make war upon the whole human race
FDR, Dec 9, 1941
Give them hell Iran.
The only way to resolve this is to stop Israel.
Good for them. If the US and Israel cant keep their word then treat them like it.
Iran did the most hilarious thing possible! They’re going to bend Trump over backwards for the rest of his life.
As much as I fear the consequences this will have for the economies of the world, especially poor countries who will get hit the hardest, I enjoy watching Trump and his friends get humiliated. They deserve it.
Which won’t be long, hopefully.
Come on, Death, do your fucking job!!(Though an excruciatingly painful and debilitating illness is much preferred. I’d wish a long life to the Donvict if that happens)
Fuck it, let’s roll out the fallout.
Watching the US get its economy shredded by a pedophile would be a lot more entertaining if I wasn’t a participant in that economy.
This is exactly how I felt after Brexit.
“Hahahaha…oh…oh no…”
bUt ThE DoW iS oVeR 50000!!!
Yeah. I also made $438 Quabrillion in Monopoly. What’s the difference?
those local commanders are likely going to find themselves falling a sudden stop if they fuck up the central gov of iran’s 300 bill deal i suspect
Trump promises payments his while life and then doesn’t do it. He has a long history of it.
It is surprising to me that anyone takes this $300B number seriously. It is not the slightest bit believable. There is not even any idea of from whom, specifically, this $300B is going to come from.
Trumps word isn’t worth shit. He’s going to fuck you over the moment he gets the chance and it’s beneficial to him. You cannot make a deal with someone like that who doesn’t understand the value of trust. Irans leadership probably knows this too.
I can think of a bunch of people we could get it from, without touching taxpayer dollars at all.
Start with Trump’s entire fortune, then go down the line. When Iran is paid back, we can keep collecting for health care, college, day care, school lunches, housing assistance, UBI, etc.
These parasites started it, they can pay for it.
$300 billion is too low. They know they can get an even trillion.
I don’t think you realize the scope of these sums. $300 billion is already a mindblowing amount of money, even for an entire country.
That’s nearly 4x Iran’s entire annual budget revenue.
And there are SEVERAL Sociopathic Oligarchs who could pay for it, so pass them the check.
Yeah you right only 4 year of annual budget revenu for this kind of agression is not close to enough. How long will it take to rebuild, I wonder. Without saying they have to restock their ammunitions for the future
I’m not saying it’s too much or that it’s uncalled for, I’m saying $300 billions is already an unsourmantably good deal and a sign of great victory, it’s just unrealistic to expect even more.
Lol, why ? Elon have 2 trillions now, explain me why a country attacked a another, destroying infrastructur, killing families ruining countless lives, should be compensated less than one guy worth ? Dude just stop you are digging
You’re literally comparing physical assets to some very serious robux money. And I’m the one delusional here? Plus - 2 trillions, give me a fucking break. Fuck off.
Most people seem to think “So-and-so is worth X billion” means they have X billion in straight cash, they don’t know it includes any stocks or companies and properties they own or anything like that.
The rest of the people here that do understand that still don’t think anyone should own private property to be fair, but they’re not exactly thinking through how that works either. Basically (for example) instead of say Elon owning X and Tesla either he has to sell it to another rich guy for the trillions and then give that to Iran, or I guess transfer ownership of those assets directly to Iran so Iran just owns X and Tesla now, communism has nothing to do with it, no workers win, they just think “company bad” and all other thought goes out the window.
Hopefully this helps drive a big wedge between Israel and the US. Lets stop giving them any weapons and aid. Tired of my tax dollars supporting a rich country dead set on genocide. Israel can handle their own affairs.
Israel has Epstein’s blackmail against Trump.
The only way the US withdrawals support from Israel is after Trump either leaves office or croaks. He doesn’t care if the entire country runs out of oil in >4 weeks. He’ll destroy the country forever, all because he’s a child rapist.
Does the blackmail even matter anymore? Bibi could drop 4K footage of him doing the same shit documented in the files and I’m convinced he’s not leaving office until he dies or is forced out.
I mean, if it didn’t matter then why is the demented child rapist still withholding and censoring the Epstein files?
Because there’s a chance it might matter and he’s not prepared to take that risk
USA and UK created Israel for a reason, and they’re fine with Israel’s actions.
Israel is doing what it was created to do.
The Soviet Union was the first country to recognise Israel as a state, and the biggest original supporter. Link
The US became a pivotal supporter only after 1967. (And that’s when Israel allegedly became an asset)
Britain literally created the state, of course they recognized them first, lol.
Correct. It’s not just Trump, it’s an entire generations-long policy norm to suppress peace and sovereignty across the middle east that passively scapegoats and endangers jews all over the world as consequence, perhaps intentionally. Pretty sure that Israeli money still funds the majority of both Republican and Democrat campaigns in congress. We need a whole-house cleaning, Israeli lobby funds from any sources need to be popularly seen by voters as a hard disqualification. Jewish voices that oppose genocidal Israeli domination narratives need to be amplified and normalized.
All of the red you see is a politician who takes money from AIPACShould have been so for decades
Fuck man. Truths.
Yeah it is kinda interesting to see people act like Israel has suddenly commandeered the US, as if they aren’t both colonial projects acting like colonizers, and building mural alliance on the grounds that you know, they wanna do colonialism shit
Theres a guy I follow online who always describes it as “the tail doesnt wag the dog”, where the US is the dog, and Israel is the tail, which is an interesting metaphor I haven’t heard much before,
That might be what Iran is thinking with this. Israel’s continued existance is incompatible with peace, so splitting them off from their sugar daddy will help
Hopefully when American strategic reserves run dry, America goes into a depression and collapses!
From taco Tuesday to fuck that guy Friday (you know who I mean)
Should’ve gotten my trades in.
The US is less than 4 weeks away from losing all of its oil reserves.
If the Zionist pieces of shit thought support for Israel was obliterated before, its about to be 0% for anyone who isn’t a billionaire
I can’t fucking wait. The US will treat distance the same way Europe does when oil prices skyrocket. Then maybe we will see the end of urban sprawl.
Imagine if Iran is the one that forces the US to build public transport networks.
Oil reserves? The US is a net exporter of oil. The prices are only up because our government prioritizes oligarch profits over the people’s well-being.
Sure, and the Irish were still exporting massive amounts of food during the great hunger.
Both exporting oil and nearly depleted reserves can be true at the same time because of the absolute global refusal to learn from history.
Same with China under Mao’s Great Leap where the country was exporting wheat to the USSR during a massive famine.
The US exports the wrong type of oil that they’re running out of. Their refineries are built specifically for the oil extracted from the Middle East and retooling them to accept American oil is just out of the question since it’ll take too long before they run out stockpiles.
I’d love to understand the logic behind creating an industry where we don’t refine our own oil and instead export it, and choose to import other oil that we do refine. It seems very counterintuitive.
It’d be funny if it weren’t for Israel doing lebensraum and ethnic cleansing in Lebanon.
Nypost? Seriously? There are dozens… hundreds of more reputable source to choose from.
Thanks for the links.
