This is why you don't prematurely spike the football: Iran reverses course on opening the Strait of Hormuz

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]

These women don't appear to be eager to submit to the insane demands of Trump and Bibi.

Yesterday​

Donald Trump: "Iran has opened the strait. THANK YOU!!!"

​

Today:​

Iranian gunboats fire on tanker in Strait of Hormuz as Tehran reimposes restrictions​

Iran reversed course on reopening the Strait of Hormuz Saturday, warning that it would continue to block transit as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect

Live updates: Iranian gunboats fire on tanker in Strait of Hormuz as Tehran reimposes restrictions

Trump says the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will remain and attacks will resume if no agreement is reached with Iran.

These gunboats are little more than an outboard with a gun on it. They can't do any real damage. All they can do is harass.

Well, since Iran has decided to be extraordinarily stupid, they can suffer the consequences.

Starting this war was insane.
Tearing up Obama's deal in Pigshit's first term was also insane.

Nevertheless, both things DID happen,
and now,
attempting that threatened war of annihilation
could very well be our only way out.

Restrained measures are not going to open that strait.

The destruction that Pigshit threatened may probably be beyond our capabilities, actually,
but who has a more realistic idea?

Blockade.

 

[Into the Night]

We have already virtually disarmed ourselves trying.

You are describing Iran.

We can kill a whole lotta civilians,

We don't want to kill civilians.

but we can't really stop an insurgent army.

I don't think Iran will be able to.

Unrepentant Neocon.

Neocon isn't a word, Cyborg.

What's to repent over?

 

[Into the Night]

We warned the world that America's "blockade" was a violation of their own "ceasefire".

Enjoy your inflation, and remember it was the tyrant Trump who did these things to you.

Having another schizophrenic episode? You are only one person.
Oil prices are coming down, dope. So is the price of gasoline.

 

[Into the Night]

Iran has shown it can take a body blow and continue to stand.

It's no standing. All it can field are these ridiculous motorboats??

At this point Trump has to either commit us to a open ended war, or he needs some face-saving off ramp.

No. Trump is ending Iran's forever wars.

I think Trump would cut and run if the Iranians just promised not to build nuclear weapons. But that is a huge step down from the Obama approach, because Obama actually had inspectors in Iran to verify that nuclear weaponization did not occur.

The year is 2026, Cyborg. Obama is not the President, and Iran built 'em anyway.

The lying braggart is still issuing falsehoods.

Today tyrant Trump said there were "very good conversations going on" with Iran.

He described Iran as acting "a little cute as they have for 47 years".

Trump said Iranian leaders wanted to close the Strait of Hormuz, but the US won't let them "blackmail us".

He said the US was taking a tough stand.

The delusional dictator added there would be "some information by the end of the day" on Iran, but did not elaborate further.

Who could believe this monster's words?

It's IRAN shooting at ships, dope.

 

[Into the Night]

I heard Israel attacked Lebanon, negating the deal.

Israel is not the United States, Sybil.

 

[Into the Night]

That happened and was a factor, but we told the world that the American blockade had to be abandoned or we would act accordingly. Tyrant Trump lied to you, and to everyone.

Our conditions for ships to exit the strait safely are the same as before, but now the American pirates say they will stop any ship they deem to be helping Iran, by force.

The oil disruption will only grow worse every day that the strait remains closed.

Did you forget the blockade, dope? No ships visiting Iran will leave or come in.
Oil prices are coming down.

Israeli shelling violates ceasefire​

There was no ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, dope.

 

[Crepitus]

You are describing Iran.

We don't want to kill civilians.

I don't think Iran will be able to.

You haven't been paying attention, Larry.
