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.”
Well, that’s embarrassing again.
Quite the Cluster Fuck and Israel, with their US politicians, are running the USA into the ground.
Netanyahu literally cannot pull his troops back. Any peace time for Israel means autopsies on the conflict and the whole Israeli government getting charged for war crimes. Governments understand this and it’s going to be Western governments stepping aside and withdrawing their money to allow Israel to get flattened by the regional powers. I don’t like the Israeli government, and there certainly are a lot of supporters in the region (probably over 50%), but we’re probably about to see a whole bunch of innocent Israel citizens being vaporized as well.
These monsters are addicted to killing like a crack addict. Zionism is a death cult.
I think you have an oversized confidence in our international justice system. When the good guys commit genocide or war crimes, no one goes to the Hague. Cases in point: Indonesia (twice over), Guatemala, the war on “terror”.
but we’re probably about to see a whole bunch of innocent Israel citizens being vaporized as well.
Maybe they shouldn’t have been openly celebrating in the streets when they were bombing Gaza.
What goes around comes around.
There are no innocent Israeli scum. They are all guilty of the rape and genocide of real Semites (Palestinians).
Israel can have its peace when every last motherfucking zionist is all dead.
Do you think making pro-genocide statements actually helps anyone?
Well just male it the Gay of Hormuz and then everyone wins.
Underrated idea :D
Don’t fycking remind me about raspberries and not give me a free promo code! The aliens use raspberries enough to control my consciousness, I don’t need more!
So the American surrender didn’t do squat, eh?
America didnt have the zionists permission to surrender.
If only there had been a way to prevent all of this…
Watching this every day is like watching two narcissists with autism arguing.
How so?
Iranian, Israeli, and US leadership are all self absorbed authoritarians who care more about looking powerful and could give fuck all about the ppl they supposedly govern
Bro, iran found out that if they just block the strait they wont get bombed. In what universe is keeping their cities from being bombed not giving a fuck all about their people?
All the Iranians in exile will probably tell you the current government doesnt give a shit about the populace
That seems like a biased sample set.
You’re telling me all the people who have had problems with the government think the government is bad? I’m shocked!
I’m confused… Are you hinting at the Iranian regime not being as bad as Iranians living abroad make it out to be?
No, I’m pointing out the concept of sampling bias. There are no doubt valid criticisms of the Iranian government as there are with every government.
When I hear Iranian immigrants on cable news being like “it’s good the U.S. is bombing the homes of people I used to live with” I’m like
“that’s a crazy take”.more precisely “why would someone wish something so horrible on their former neighbor”.Just cause you lived somewhere for a while doesn’t mean you know what is best for the people still living there. It may imply a certain level of knowledge. But those people can still have bad takes --just like Americans can have bad takes about America-- and those bad takes can be biased by the particular experience they have had and that’s worth considering.
Some Iranians I know said their family members protesting the regime were shot and injured and 1000s of citizens killed.
They drive by and seek out people using starlink type systems that communicated with the outside world, due to the communication ban , internet ban. While the Iranians don’t want to be bombed they want their oppressive government out of power and were welcoming invasion originally.Doesnt justify bombing grade schools and reservoirs of the citizens being oppressed though does it. So its pretty obvious that Israel and the Us arent bombing Iran to help the Iranian citizens out, isnt that right.
It’s true of 100% of Iranians I know. It has to be accurate with the very large number Iranians I know.
3 is a really big number right?
I am an iranian citizen, they do not give a shit about us. Trying not to get bombed is rule 1:1 of not having your government collapse
They’re selfishly preventing us from accessing the jet fuel we use to power our bombers.
It’s unsporting, petty, and deeply unchristian. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I get the narcissistic part, how does that reflect autism tho?
What’s that got to do with autism?
Ever overhear an argument at a gaming convention?
Yes, but that’s because they are assholes not autistic
They’re both. It’s a deadly combo.
It’s only part to do with Autism. My experience with moderate to strong autism in people is like a dog with a bone. They will not drop a point and will stay super focused on it even when everyone else has moved on, or conversation moves forward. Autism makes people “sticky” they won’t drop a view they hold without trusting the people they are interacting with to a significant degree. This is not
But the other descriptors are very important to producing shitty people. The part that makes this bad is the narcissist part.
Autism is just one that makes it hard to put themselves in the other peoples shoes. Autism makes it difficult to understand other people’s perspective and can lock in on their own experience of the world which doesn’t usually align with the vast majority of other humans. They have a really hard time relating to other people in some people.
Having 3 such people with the those specific traits arguing against each other, the autism part is not what makes them bad people. A better way to describe the affect autism would have in this scenario is that you could say ruthlessly and mercilessly tenacious instead of autism because that’s the enhancement autism produces in this scenario.
It’s a very useful capability when channelled in good ways, channeling it in narcissistic ways is what is wrong here. Autism is a powerup, it’s not bad the way the other descriptors are
You don’t have to be autistic to get stuck on a view, look at the MAGA base while the leopard eats their faces
No you dont. Absolutely correct. But it’s a very different kind of compulsion for people who express their autism that way.
Hyper fixated on being dicks?
Don’t need autism to do that.
Can’t argue with that
True for half of the USA and most of Iran, but the vast, vast majority of Israelis are even more bloothirsty and shitty as their war criminal leaders. Dont rope the US and Iranian public in with Israelis. Thats fucking insulting.
At least Iran is trying to save millions of people from being bombed to shit.
So it can cover, cane, and oppress them.
There are no good guys here. Mommy and Daddy are fighting to see who gets to fiddle the kids.
I was referring to Gaza and Lebanon.
Iran only cares about those because they know if they let Gaza and Lebanon fall to Israel unopposed, Iran is next. It’s complete self interest.
There is no “Iran is next.” Pretty sure Isreal and the US just tried to beat Iran into submission and failed. Iran’s time came and they survived.
Iran could easily turn it’s back on Lebanon and survive, just as the rest of the world has. But unlike the rest of the world it’s actually using the leverage it has to stop a massive genocide.
No one is saying Iran is a wonderful country with leaders that belive in peace and equality for their people but the blood on the US and Isreal hands flows further than Irans.
I’m shocked.
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.
This is exactly how I felt after Brexit.
“Hahahaha…oh…oh no…”
bUt ThE DoW iS oVeR 50000!!!
The only way to resolve this is to stop Israel.
Iran did the most hilarious thing possible! They’re going to bend Trump over backwards for the rest of his life.
As much as I fear the consequences this will have for the economies of the world, especially poor countries who will get hit the hardest, I enjoy watching Trump and his friends get humiliated. They deserve it.
Which won’t be long, hopefully.
Come on, Death, do your fucking job!!(Though an excruciatingly painful and debilitating illness is much preferred. I’d wish a long life to the Donvict if that happens)
Powerful and resourceful gangsters have banded together to make war upon the whole human race
FDR, Dec 9, 1941
Give them hell Iran.
You don’t think the IRGC are gangsters?
Good for them. If the US and Israel cant keep their word then treat them like it.
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.
Unconditional surrender, for the US, I suppose?
Let’s see these “no limits” against Israel, hmm?
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.
Sure, and the Irish were still exporting massive amounts of food during the great hunger.
Both exporting oil and nearly depleted reserves can be true at the same time because of the absolute global refusal to learn from history.
Same with China under Mao’s Great Leap where the country was exporting wheat to the USSR during a massive famine.
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.
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.
Charging my car, cooking lunch and cooling the house all from solar panels as we speak. Awesome feeling.
It’s also a cool hobby if you want it to be.
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!
In other news “Americans to see extreme spike in electricity costs”.
I guess I will just die. Might be cheaper.
The closure of the strait impacts helium supplies used for chip manufacturing which will impact data center build-out, so maybe the result is lower electricity costs overall.
That’s happening either way. Might as well get on top of it.
Trump’s bumbling is really helping the planet, ironically.
