It is the US, Israel and other players manipulating the markets. Many trader say oil futures do not reflect the damage done to the world oil market and it is being manipulated by US treasury. Irans assets are frozen. So they could not do it.

You don't really close something you do not own. It's like saying a terrorist reopens a street just because they stopped shooting everyone who walks down it. We don't say "terrorist reopens street". We say "terrorist stops threatening the area."

It's a bit inaccurate to say that the US was engaged in war with Iran. Would it not be more accurate to say that they were engaged in a terrorist campaign against Iran?

No, it actually wouldn't. Attacking a belligerent, fanatical, tyrannical, murderous terrorist state in order to get it to stop being a terrorist state is hardly engaging in a terrorist campaign. But nice try.

No Trump and the Republicans attacked Iran because Israel told them to attack. Every accusation against Iran are things Israel and the US have and continue to do Iran- terrorists attacks inside Iran, attack Iran with proxies, bomb Iran, blow up embassies, assassinations, etc, etc. Isreal is many time worst vs Iran yet you ignore it. Why?

Trump will continue his folly under the delusion he can get Iran to capitulate to his maximalist demands. He’s a dunce who had no plan for the war because he believed Iran would immediately capitulate to him.

All of this is a pretext for invasion. "We tried to play nice but they won't submit to our demands."

And strengthened the hardliners in Iran when they'd been facing protests and opposition. Now Iran has had sanctions lifted (bonkers), increased access to funds, and the protests have been neutralized. The new leader is even more extreme than his father and has a former grip on power.

So yeah if you didn't like the Iranian regime before, tell me how what Trump did hurt them. Because it looks like they've been strengthened.

I’d say “I doubt it” but you never know with the violent morons we currently have in leadership. An invasion would be a military disaster for the US given they don’t have the troop levels or material to be anything but target practice.

Is everyone convinced now that Trump is delusional because of his dementia? He had a manic episode yesterday, with patently unbelievable posts, which can happen in dementia patients. The less control he has about a situation, the most unhinged his posts become.

The rest of the world understand this. When is MAGA going to get it?

It’s genuinely terrifying that the world is now at the mercy of his dementia. There’s no way Iran can make a deal with him or trust that he won’t break it the very next day.

It was entirely predictable. The next step is that Trump will lie about some big breakthrough this weekend so that he'll be the one that gets to decide to open the Strait. In the meantime, it's historical that the US is the nation currently terrorizing the world with the blockade.

Except the only ships being blockaded by the US are those transiting Iranian ports. Nice narrative you’re spinning though.

You’re talking about Israel, right?

Do you just post the same things over and over?

No, Iran made it very clear they wanted the USA military to end the blockade of their ports. When they didn’t, the tentative deal fell apart. Plus it’s annoying to the entire world when Trump openly lies about things out loud. So they had to smack him back into place.
Now they aren’t even willing to hold talks.
It’s kind of cool to see Iran acting like the adult to trump’s ridiculousness. I’ve been waiting for someone to finally stand up to him.
Well, it would be cool if people weren’t dying or having livelihoods destroyed.

Your constant simping for the Iranian regime is noted.

DP. This is an Israel war. It is against the interests of the American people to be at war or have bad relationships with Iran. They are a key power in the Middle East.

Why do you always resort to call names?

No, you simply chose to miss it, as usual. Iran started the blockade of the Strait. The U.S. is merely blocking Iranian ports and ships doing business with Iran. Everyone else is free to pass.

What names were you called? Iran is not a “key player” in the ME. Quite the opposite. They are loathed by all the gulf states.

I.e., Trump’s a moron. Yes, we all agree with you.
