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.”
It’s not just Israel refusing to pull troops back, they literally had a “round of strikes” according the Barrons

Netanyahu literally cannot pull his troops back. Any peace time for Israel means autopsies on the conflict and the whole Israeli government getting charged for war crimes. Governments understand this and it’s going to be Western governments stepping aside and withdrawing their money to allow Israel to get flattened by the regional powers. I don’t like the Israeli government, and there certainly are a lot of supporters in the region (probably over 50%), but we’re probably about to see a whole bunch of innocent Israel citizens being vaporized as well.
Charged by whom? Israeli courts? Yea right.
There are no innocent Israeli scum. They are all guilty of the rape and genocide of real Semites (Palestinians).
Israel can have its peace when every last motherfucking zionist is all dead.
Do you think making pro-genocide statements actually helps anyone?
I think you have an oversized confidence in our international justice system. When the good guys commit genocide or war crimes, no one goes to the Hague. Cases in point: Indonesia (twice over), Guatemala, the war on “terror”.
Not sure if I understand what you’re trying to say. My read of this MOU is that the US is pulling the plug. Israel is already overextended in Lebanon, and they for sure can not fight Iran without the backing of the USA.
And even if they had that backing, interceptors are depleted and radars destroyed. Dimona got hit with a nuclear-capable rocket loaded with sand, a clear message which they know how to interpret. They’ll keep testing the waters with Trump for a bit, but the US will clarify to them that they really aren’t bluffing with this MOU.
Israel has no right to be butthurt that they didn’t get a seat at the negotiating table. They’re a proxy, not a partner. They are living way beyond their means and that’s coming to an end. Their bluff has been called. Now they need to stfu and do as they are told.
These monsters are addicted to killing like a crack addict. Zionism is a death cult.
It’s not even that complicated. If he lets Israel off a war footing, he’s in front of the corruption court that he’s attempted to subvert multiple times.
If Israel ever charges anyone over the actual war crimes, I’ll eat a bug.
but we’re probably about to see a whole bunch of innocent Israel citizens being vaporized as well.
Maybe they shouldn’t have been openly celebrating in the streets when they were bombing Gaza.
What goes around comes around.
They have government-sponsored observation decks where you can watch Gaza through fixed telescopes while passing a blunt and cheer as bombs drop.
It’s really a mystery that nobody likes them, huh.
I’m shocked.
Well just male it the Gay of Hormuz and then everyone wins.
Underrated idea :D
Don’t fycking remind me about raspberries and not give me a free promo code! The aliens use raspberries enough to control my consciousness, I don’t need more!
Peace when markets are open and war when markets are closed.
What? Our 300 billy not good enough?
Why did I post this?
I’m sure it’ll shock you to discover that the $300B check was not actually in the mail
It was E-Transfered.
Israel is the Main Culprit keeping the ECONOMICALLY NECESSARY Straight of Hormuz closed? And because of that the US Economy is going to be DEVESTATED? Quick! We MUST give the Israelis MORE US Taxdollars and MORE US Military Intelligence!
-The US Congress LITERALLY!
Those days are over! Say no to Israeli funding and YES to merging the military industrial complexes together so that you’ll never know where the money goes, let alone stop it.
AIPAC is also dead! Long live a thousand innocent sounding organizations with “fundraisers” instead. Nothing nefarious, all above board. The most moral people work in the darkness in case you didn’t know.
So the American surrender didn’t do squat, eh?
America didnt have the zionists permission to surrender.
If only there had been a way to prevent all of this…
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
True for half of the USA and most of Iran, but the vast, vast majority of Israelis are even more bloothirsty and shitty as their war criminal leaders. Dont rope the US and Iranian public in with Israelis. Thats fucking insulting.
Those narcissists at Iran, how dare they ask for peace and not be satisfied with invasion, subjugation, and killing of innocents
To be fair, the regime’s response to the civil unrest was so unnecessarily bloody and violent that some sort of international response was almost inevitable.
So yeah, crazy people who don’t give two cents about their people.
And if you really want to muddy the waters, then consider the Iranian diaspora in the US, who are hardcore MAGA-supporters and who literally asked Trump to bomb ‘their’ country.
Or the former prince of Iran asking Trump’s blessing to lead his country again, after spending the majority of his life achieving nothing and living of the fortunes his father stole from Iran.
It really is narcissists all the way down…
Now do Israel and the US.
I get the narcissistic part, how does that reflect autism tho?
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?
They’re selfishly preventing us from accessing the jet fuel we use to power our bombers.
It’s unsporting, petty, and deeply unchristian. They should be ashamed of themselves.
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?
No, I’m pointing out the concept of sampling bias. There are no doubt valid criticisms of the Iranian government as there are with every government.
When I hear Iranian immigrants on cable news being like “it’s good the U.S. is bombing the homes of people I used to live with” I’m like “that’s a crazy take”.
Just cause you lived somewhere for a while doesn’t mean you know what is best for the people still living there. It may imply a certain level of knowledge. But those people can still have bad takes --just like Americans can have bad takes about America-- and those bad takes can be biased by the particular experience they have had and that’s worth considering.
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.Doesnt justify bombing grade schools and reservoirs of the citizens being oppressed though does it. So its pretty obvious that Israel and the Us arent bombing Iran to help the Iranian citizens out, isnt that right.
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?
What’s that got to do with autism?
It’s only part to do with Autism. My experience with moderate to strong autism in people is like a dog with a bone. They will not drop a point and will stay super focused on it even when everyone else has moved on, or conversation moves forward. Autism makes people “sticky” they won’t drop a view they hold without trusting the people they are interacting with to a significant degree. This is not
But the other descriptors are very important to producing shitty people. The part that makes this bad is the narcissist part.
Autism is just one that makes it hard to put themselves in the other peoples shoes. Autism makes it difficult to understand other people’s perspective and can lock in on their own experience of the world which doesn’t usually align with the vast majority of other humans. They have a really hard time relating to other people in some people.
Having 3 such people with the those specific traits arguing against each other, the autism part is not what makes them bad people. A better way to describe the affect autism would have in this scenario is that you could say ruthlessly and mercilessly tenacious instead of autism because that’s the enhancement autism produces in this scenario.
It’s a very useful capability when channelled in good ways, channeling it in narcissistic ways is what is wrong here. Autism is a powerup, it’s not bad the way the other descriptors are
You don’t have to be autistic to get stuck on a view, look at the MAGA base while the leopard eats their faces
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.
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.
Nukes are so 20th century. Who needs nukes when you can literally shut down the global economy with a phone call?
A phone call, an armada of speed boats, thousands of sea mines, and a mosaic defense strategy that allows for the continuous firing of ballistic missiles after suffering $1T in infrastructure damage.
Still less trouble than building and launching a nuke.
Fuck it, let’s roll out the fallout.
Powerful and resourceful gangsters have banded together to make war upon the whole human race
FDR, Dec 9, 1941
Give them hell Iran.
You don’t think the IRGC are gangsters?
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 for this kind of agression is not close to enough. How long will it take to rebuild, I wonder.
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.
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.
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.
Scummy from Iran. The US should immediately block the strait again and get back to bombarding Iran and killing their leaders
Username checks out
What is scummy for iran here ? Isreal attacking Lebanon ? Ho boy you are part of the bottom of the barrel aren’t you ?
Is Israel a US state?
Yes.
No, America is an Israeli colony now.
Geographically no, from an economic and a leaedership point of view yes. I will play along, no it is not, can you explain me why this invalidate the fact than Iran should’nt be attacked because Israel didn’t respect any contracts and attacked an Iranian ally ?
Ehm, is Lebanon part of Iran?
Were they negotiating peace with the US or peace between Israel and Lebanon.
I’d like for you to think why is Israel attacking Lebanon, my theory is that Hezbollah didn’t respect ceasefire, but I might be wrong (I’m not).
Israel attacking Lebanon I dunno, did Israeli an tried to not send settler kill Lebanese civilian ? Because this would be a root cause explaining this kind of tweet from Israel ministers. https://x.com/itamarbengvir/status/2067865510281170957
I see than Israel leadership is using it’s youngling life to attack and taunt (by sending settlers) Lebanese into killing them to justify starting a genocide.
Lol now countries can’t be ally. Dude try to think a lillte before regurgitating talking points… Your fox news education is showing ;)
It’s part of the MoU.
Good for them. If the US and Israel cant keep their word then treat them like it.
