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.”
Iran did the most hilarious thing possible! They’re going to bend Trump over backwards for the rest of his life.
Watching the US get its economy shredded by a pedophile would be a lot more entertaining if I wasn’t a participant in that economy.
bUt ThE DoW iS oVeR 50000!!!
From taco Tuesday to fuck that guy Friday (you know who I mean)
I find this all quite amusing.
The US is less than 4 weeks away from losing all of its oil reserves.
If the Zionist pieces of shit thought support for Israel was obliterated before, its about to be 0% for anyone who isn’t a billionaire
Oil reserves? The US is a net exporter of oil. The prices are only up because our government prioritizes oligarch profits over the people’s well-being.
The US exports the wrong type of oil that they’re running out of. Their refineries are built specifically for the oil extracted from the Middle East and retooling them to accept American oil is just out of the question since it’ll take too long before they run out stockpiles.
Nypost? Seriously? There are dozens… hundreds of more reputable source to choose from.
It’s more and more clear that the Wikipedia editors made the right choice in deciding that the US lost the war:
On the bright side, green energy is looking better and better each day the straight remains closed.
It’s amazing that people don’t recognize the actual freedom that generating your own power gives your country
The problem is that it also grants individual freedom. Oligarchs hate that.
Bro, it even gives you freedom as a citizen.
Yeah, Trump may unintentionally start the end for the fossil industry. Which is kinda ironic.
How the hell will I buy trilobites now!?
I have a ton stockpiled. Just DM me and I’ll sell them to you at a premium!
Trump’s bumbling is really helping the planet, ironically.
Hopefully this helps drive a big wedge between Israel and the US. Lets stop giving them any weapons and aid. Tired of my tax dollars supporting a rich country dead set on genocide. Israel can handle their own affairs.
Israel has Epstein’s blackmail against Trump.
The only way the US withdrawals support from Israel is after Trump either leaves office or croaks. He doesn’t care if the entire country runs out of oil in >4 weeks. He’ll destroy the country forever, all because he’s a child rapist.
Does the blackmail even matter anymore? Bibi could drop 4K footage of him doing the same shit documented in the files and I’m convinced he’s not leaving office until he dies or is forced out.
That might be what Iran is thinking with this. Israel’s continued existance is incompatible with peace, so splitting them off from their sugar daddy will help
USA and UK created Israel for a reason, and they’re fine with Israel’s actions.
Israel is doing what it was created to do.
Yeah it is kinda interesting to see people act like Israel has suddenly commandeered the US, as if they aren’t both colonial projects acting like colonizers, and building mural alliance on the grounds that you know, they wanna do colonialism shit
Theres a guy I follow online who always describes it as “the tail doesnt wag the dog”, where the US is the dog, and Israel is the tail, which is an interesting metaphor I haven’t heard much before,
Correct. It’s not just Trump, it’s an entire generations-long policy norm to suppress peace and sovereignty across the middle east that passively scapegoats and endangers jews all over the world as consequence, perhaps intentionally. Pretty sure that Israeli money still funds the majority of both Republican and Democrat campaigns in congress. We need a whole-house cleaning, Israeli lobby funds from any sources need to be popularly seen by voters as a hard disqualification. Jewish voices that oppose genocidal Israeli domination narratives need to be amplified and normalized.
Should have been so for decades
Hopefully when American strategic reserves run dry, America goes into a depression and collapses!
Trump claims Iran deal is ‘unconditional surrender,’ says his power has ‘no limits’
did not help either
Let’s be real though. Iran expects Trump and Netanyahu to keep sabotaging this deal one way or another and is fine with them manufacturing consent to close the Strait and bomb more US/Israeli assets.
This moron can’t stop running his mouth. A person like this can’t handle diplomacy - his fragile egomania will always get in the way.
THE ART OF THE DEAL!
(written by a ghostwriter)
Unconditional surrender, for the US, I suppose?
Let’s see these “no limits” against Israel, hmm?
id say this is 3d chess but its more like being a nation-state 101. Iran expertly played israel and america off eachother to get exactly what they wanted and give neither america or israel anything, all while driving a wedge between these two assholes.
it would be impressive if they pulled this off against highly-capable nations with well developed diplomatic corps. As it stands it kind of feels mean to big up Iran for dunking on what are effectively two asshole toddlers screaming about their toys
American diplomacy had been obliterated in past 10 years
Thanks to weak Republicans.
The title has since changed:
Iran Foreign Ministry says Strait of Hormuz is open after IRGC warned it was closed — sparking confusion
Israel isn’t gonna stop
All of Lebanon is included in the map of Greater Israel. God’s Chosen Master Race aren’t going to stop until they’ve genocided every last Arab and Muslim and anyone else who tries to stop them. Unless someone actually makes Israel stop.
But now Trump can try to shift blame for the war onto Israel and Netanyahu.
Of course, this won’t work, but that’s why these stupid idiots picked this course of action. They knew they couldn’t stop Israel from being insane assholes, so they tried to figure out a way to shift a blame to Israel.
Oops!
He would never speak ill of his leashholder.
I fear you’re correct. To the extent that they view this as an existential question (and for Netanyahu it truly is), they could give a shit about oil prices.
I concur. Putin is a bad guy. Trump is a bad guy. Nethanyahu is a bad human (just for once I misuse the word human)
While this seems plausible — likely even — it appears this is only being reported by the NY Post, a known neonazi propaganda rag. I would wait for more confirmation.
Yeah, I’d wait, too.
It’s also reported by German t-online (which also isn’t a reliable news source).

Yes, and sentdefender has audio from the primary source (which is in Farsi, so I don’t know if it’s accurate).
