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.”
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?
I am an iranian citizen, they do not give a shit about us. Trying not to get bombed is rule 1:1 of not having your government collapse
All the Iranians in exile will probably tell you the current government doesnt give a shit about the populace
That seems like a biased sample set.
You’re telling me all the people who have had problems with the government think the government is bad? I’m shocked!
I’m confused… Are you hinting at the Iranian regime not being as bad as Iranians living abroad make it out to be?
Some Iranians I know said their family members protesting the regime were shot and injured and 1000s of citizens killed.
They drive by and seek out people using starlink type systems that communicated with the outside world, due to the communication ban , internet ban. While the Iranians don’t want to be bombed they want their oppressive government out of power and were welcoming invasion originally.
It’s true of 100% of Iranians I know. It has to be accurate with the very large number Iranians I know.
3 is a really big number right?
