Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR - US Blockade, Lebanon Ceasefire

[superrific]

LOL at Iran has agreed not to close the strait ever again.

Yeah, Trump you agreed not to put tariffs on Canada or Mexico, even signing a treaty to that effect. How well did that work?

Knowing that the US can ruin their economy at will, I'll bet the farm that Iran doesn't close the strait again.

Well, get ready to lose the farm! I think you overestimate the concern Iran has for its economy. They seemed to have come thru the economic hurt of Covid just fine. They've lived with biting sanctions for even longer.

I think we need to appreciate the magnitude of what Iran has done. In their reopening statement, they tied the Strait to Israel. And they clearly maneuvered Trump into maneuvering Israel. That's a pretty big deal. Something they can repeat and repeat. Pretty big win for them. And almost certainly guarantees that the reopening is short term.

A cruise trip they will never forget! “And then we were the first to test if the Strait is really open.”

They survive by selling oil. Covid and sanctions haven't prevented the selling of oil.

Woohoo! Soon the world will have more cocktail shrimp supply.

This might shock you, but they use the majority of their oil for domestic purposes. Running the economy. A blockade will cause pain but it will not bring down the regime. Not even close.

knowing where we started(completely opened strait) and the bullshit of this administration, to now celebrating that Iran

They survive by selling oil. Covid and sanctions haven't prevented the selling of oil.

So you think the US gained leverage here?

So much for the Lebanon ceasefire...

Saw this coming a million miles away. All that bullshit Trump posted this morning was just wishful thinking, not actual agreement. He still thinks he can decree international affairs into reality.

I wonder how much money Trump made off the market by making that bullshit announcement this morning.

Good question and not only the Trump crime family but how much Trump's cronies made getting the heads up of the "announcement" a day or two before.

Anyone who bough the booze package got their money's worth on that trip.
