Trump accused Iran of “world extortion” for its previous efforts to close the strait, and accused it of violating “every law in the book.”
Lol. Lmao even.
U.S. Central Command softened the announcement later in the day, clarifying that the U.S. would be blockading only “maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports,” not any other traffic.
So yeah, misleading post tile. Still China and other asian countries will be pissed that the US is directly blocking their trade with Iran.
I guarantee you he will start trying to charge a toll for passage just like Iran.
Trump: Iran doesn’t run the show, I do! So I say the strait is closed, not them! Ha! Take that global economy! I’m the big man!
It kills Iran’s ability to extract tolls from ships that want to get past. Assuming that it’s enforced, which I am not at all sure it will be. Like, are we honestly going to, say, put an anti-ship missile into a China-flagged merchant ship because they paid off Iran?
Hilarious. Geopolitics had just entered the “it’s not funny anymore” level for me but this entire affair is saving it single-handedly.
🕺
I know it’s not funny but I have no other way of dealing with the horrors.
You’re good, humor is what keeps us humans sane.
He’s really been bringing that Trump 1 flare to this war.
“I’m not fired, I quit!”

Uh, oil tycoons are pretty happy. Have you seen the prices?
Gas is going to increase like crazy tomorrow.
