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.”

    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.

        AFAIK there is roughly 10 trillions in cash all around the globe, everywhere. These guys really think that Elon alone has 1 trillion of that. Just one silly dude casually walking with 10% worth of globe’s money in his fat wallet.

        Lol I love how you introduce cash in the discussion then said I don’t understand Elon don’t have it in cash. Show PE exactly when i said that ? Because you look like you are inventing saying they would have say but you don’t answer the initial point. Basic 101 redirecting discussion. Introduce an argument yourself then answer it. Dude do you think we are dumb ?

        Let’s go back on track : care to explain to me how 300billion is enough for hundred or thousand of life when the US have one guy worth 2 trillion ? Is it the skin color ?

              Rhetorical or not, yes, I think you specifically are dumb.

              Hey, you asked, don’t get mad at me when you got information you didn’t intend to get.

You started insulting without any arguments. Then ypu don’t even understand what a rethorical question is… Buddy while would i continue? You already showed that you insult people to make them react but I am still searching for an argument. What you point ? Showing that you can write dumb in English ?

      And you are saying that this ridiculous small poney amount is worth the life and consequences, the pesos ik chief inflicted. I am glad you have an exact amount worth for each life. But I wonder does this value move with the skin color ?. But yeah you right, we should go back on track, 300 billion is far from enough compensation. Considering the US broken infrastructures which were more expensive than that. And what is 300billion when one of your parasites “worth” far more.
