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.”
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.
I mean, if it didn’t matter then why is the demented child rapist still withholding and censoring the Epstein files?
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!
