Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned on Sunday that any military ships approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be viewed as violating the two-week ceasefire and would be dealt with “harshly and decisively.”
In a statement carried by Iranian state media, the IRGC said the strait remains under the “smart management” and control of Iran’s navy and that the waterway remains open for non-military vessels, but that military ones would get a “forceful response.”
No word yet on whether U.K. will send minesweepers, as Trump said.
“If I can’t have it then no one can” is actually pretty on brand
It is the classic loser mentality that the world expects from the US by now.
I’m kinda gonna have to go with the broken clock rationalization for this one, as stupid and self-inflicted as the situation is. Blockading Iran’s blockade denies Iran the toll they wanted.
Why is this tagged NSFW?
Sorry about that. Fat fingers at work.
This level of stupidity is a work hazard
Ready for another Monday morning market open bloodbath that will conveniently make a bunch of brand new trading accounts $200 million
As they should.
So let me get this strait: the “open the fucking strait you crazy bastards!” Tweet was directed towards his future self?
Yeah, that tracks
So now USA plans to close the Strait for everyone while Iran will fight them to keep it open for neutral countries, am I getting this right?
Kinda sounds like something an idiot thought up, doesn’t it?
I guess the US Navy is going to attack Chinese, indian, and Russian ships that are loading up Iranian oil? That’ll be interesting.
US tried to make things better, then it realized that it’s far more skilled at fucking shit up.
In the same breath expressing his disappointment in NATO allies, Trump told Fox that “now they want to come and now they want to help with the Strait [of Hormuz].”
The fuck we do. Nobody wants to join the war tRump started.
What a fucking dipshit he is.
That’s not even what NATO is for the first place.
He’s completely deluded. He’s listening to the grade A mental gymnastics thrown out by his buddies at Fox News and NewsMax. Because nobody here in the US who doesn’t have their heads up their asses thinks any other NATO country wants to help in this fiasco. And we also don’t blame them at all.
He genuinely thinks the US already “won” the war. That’s like crowing about how much of a grand master you are while your King is being checked from three different angles
I dunno. It’s possible that if Trump does indeed close the strait, NATO nations may go and try to open it.
But yeah, it’s more likely that they’ll nope out and stay out of it.
if Trump does indeed close the strait, NATO nations may go and try to open it.
So you seriously think e.g. France will send ships to the gulf, and shoot at US ships?
If Winter comes close and the US is still blockading their fuel? Yes, I think it’s possible.
Even if France wanted to, it would be suicidal. The US Navy is way too strong. No, it is obviously not possible.
Well, since it’s suicide, I guess we can count on them dying quietly then.
Why would you help the USA when it has shown repeatedly how ready it is to completely screw you as soon as you have helped it out of a predicament of its own making?
I haven’t said anything about helping the USA.
