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.”
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.
