Good. You can donate money to them but no more US tax money or arms for a genocidal racist supremacist society. |

Horse manure! American soldiers died in vain. We had no dog in this fight and trump should have told Netanyahu to pound sand! The time is long past for the US, or even the Free World, to babysit Israel. They can sink or swim on their own! |

Then by all means, go there and help. |

I guess you live under a rock? Joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Denmark, Latvia, Slovenia, Estonia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Czechia, Romania, Bahrain, Lithuania, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Trinidad & Tobago, Croatia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Panama, North Macedonia, Nigeria, Montenegro, Albania, Marshall Islands, Chile, Moldova, Greece, Somalia and Slovakia on the Strait of Hormuz. We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces. We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817. Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The effects of Iran’s actions will be felt by people in all parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable. Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such interference with international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations. We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning. We welcome the International Energy Agency decision to authorise a coordinated release of strategic petroleum reserves. We will take other steps to stabilise energy markets, including working with certain producing nations to increase output. We will also work to provide support for the most affected nations, including through the United Nations and the IFIs. Maritime security and freedom of navigation benefit all countries. We call on all states to respect international law and uphold the fundamental principles of international prosperity and security. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/joint-statement-from-the-leaders-of-the-united-kingdom-france-germany-italy-the-netherlands-and-japan-on-the-strait-of-hormuz-19-march-2026 |

Sure, psycho. Even though 40 other countries have condemned Iran for laying mines and closing the Strait, I'm sure we should just believe you, a random disturbed internet troll. What a hoot you are.

October 7 has nothing to do with Iran’s government. There was another October 7 back in 1973 long before the IRGC and that’s why Hamas chose that 50th anniversary in 2023. Dates of war are very important to Jews and Palestinians. I’m not sure if it’s a numerology thing or what |

Shame on you. You should never stand with terrorist regimes. And the Middle East is chock full of them. You should not be on anyone's "side" in these conflicts. |

| Taking down Iran still won’t make Israel any safer. They’ll still need their so called Iron dome, iron walls, and electric fences because they know they have their boots on top of a native population right within their vicinity. Palestinians don’t have ballistic missiles, conventional weapons, or even an army but they’re still afraid of them. Even of 5 year olds. Yet they moved there for safety and refuge. They were sometimes hosted inside the homes of Palestinians just like Armenian refugees and they stole the homes and used the military to kick the owners /families out |

When you have a nation founded on deception, terrorism, and property theft, of course you have to become an electric fortress of a country and have your head on a swivel. Israel is a military base, not a country.
They can claim Iran is the problem all day but the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and wars with neighbors have gone on back when Iran was Israel’s ally (1948-1979) |

| Trump just posted that China and the USA are working together to open the Strait. He also posted that Xi promised not to provide weapons to Iran. |

There are no mines. Other tankers are passing just fine. Mines cannot determine ship origin. This is all a charade by big oil to raise the prices. |

Iran's government - the IRGC - helped fund, train, arm and equip the terrorists that attacked Israel on October 7th. I think both Israel and Iran are terrorist states - but just because I am angry with Israel doesn't mean I find it acceptable to whitewash and deny what Iran has done. |

It's tiresome dealing with your completely transparent IRGC propaganda. Please stop lying. The only ships to have transited through are those not going to/from Iranian ports. Iran announced on Thursday that there were mines in the strait, [b]the first Tehran confirmation, and laid out two paths that ships can use to avoid them, USNI News previously reported.[/b] One of the paths included the Tehran tollbooth, which required ships to sail by Iran’s Larak Island while also contacting the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to provide documentation and, in some cases, payment. If the ceasefire holds between Iran and U.S., mines become one of the only threats to ships, Dominick Donald, an advisor to the Joint War Committee, which represents war risk underwriters in the Lloyd’s insurance market, told USNI News. If the ceasefire fails or ends, then ships will have to face threats of Iranian projectiles as well. Transits through the strait have continued to trickle despite the two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. Shipping analysis Lloyd’s List Intelligence tracked six transits on Wednesday and eight on Thursday. On Tuesday, the day of President Donald Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline to open the strait, there were 15. Between March 30 to April 5, there were 76 transits, the busiest week for the strait since the conflict began. Transits are still less than 10 percent of the typical daily flow, according to Lloyd’s List Intelligence. https://news.usni.org/2026/04/11/two-u-s-warships-sail-through-strait-of-hormuz-to-establish-new-route-for-merchant-ships |

Uh, China decided to supply Iran with man-portable air defense systems - or MANPADS as they're called. The US/Israel war on Iran has been an excellent opportunity for China to get a lot of data on American weapons systems. Now they want see how well their portable air defense systems work. The Russians too are collecting a lot of data and even providing Iran with targeting help. The war on Iran has been an outstanding opportunity for China and Russia to finesse their own systems. Meanwhile, we shot our shot with Iran and won't have munitions and interceptors for years to come to counter China or other near-peer adversaries. This war with Iran has been very costly for the US. We won't have the capability to fight a modern war with drones and so on for a very long time. Republicans will have to ask if it was worth it. Hegseth and Rubio are clearly not up for the job in the modern era. And Netanyahu shouldn't be the one dictating American foreign policy. But here we are. |

So European neo-Nazis, Arabs, Turks, Christians, antizionist students on campuses, among others, and Miss Rachel are not "valid" reasons to keep killing women and children? Good to know. |
