Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again.

[Ichabod Stain]

What happens is that Iran tells people it is no longer safe to cross, this causes insurance companies to go apedooky and start charging ridiculous rates for them to cross the strait, this effectively shuts it down with minimal activity from anyone at all.

the threat of proximity to Irani projectiles is real tho.

its not like its "in everybody's mind".

we have all the oil we need in our region.

all that "not worth getting out of the ground till price x" shit is bullshit.

let's just do us.

Yep, it's an account from 2010. Not many still active members have been posting since then. Guess who has?

Yep. He stopped posting as Diogenes since the server move for an obvious reason.

Trump should be proud. He turned Iranians into capitalists.

Nope not a farce.

Iran is still hitting targets across the ME and in the strait and if you got off magat media you not believe Trump's lies otherwise.

As of March and April 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has attacked, struck, or detained multiple commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf. These actions are part of a broader, ongoing conflict, with over 20 vessels reported attacked or impacted since late February 2026, forcing traffic below 10% of normal volumes.

Key Details on Iranian Attacks (2026):

• Targeted Attacks: The Thai-flagged bulk carrier Mayuree Naree was hit by projectiles on March 10/11, 2026.
• IRGC Action: The IRGC admitted to firing on the Mayuree Naree and another ship, the Express Rome, after claiming they ignored warnings not to traverse the strait.
• Other Incidents: Multiple ships, including the Japanese-owned One Majesty and the Marshall Islands-flagged Star Gwyneth, suffered damages from unidentified projectiles.
• Blockade Tactics: Iran has generally blocked the strait since February 28, 2026, forcing vessels to seek, or be denied, passage through its controlled waters.

These actions have caused significant disruption to global energy supplies.

Stop outsourcing your thinking to AI, Q-tip.

Stop outsourcing your thinking to AI, Q-tip.

It's a list of facts that prove what you said was wrong and stupid.

Would you prefer I reply with my opinion and no facts and be more like you magats?

I'd prefer that you form your own arguments instead of having AI form them FOR you.

ya well that is just stupid.

You saying "i think the Strait is open'

And me replying " I think it closed"

And neither of us using google or Ai to search for the facts and just saying 'no my opinion is right'... 'no mine is', is the thing idiots do.

So i get why you want to do that but i will always look up the facts and cite them to PROVE you are wrong and not just use my opinion. @FastLane used to try your same stupid argument calling for no facts as well and just to post opinion versus opinion.
