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.”
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)
