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

Sounds grim to me.

It is far more grim than just that.

There is a second more vital Strait in the region also easily terrorized and shut down by Iran and it's allies in the region. As well as oil pipelines and water desalination plants.

What Trump has made Iran and others realize is how much power they have in asymmetrical warfare to 'win' victories and terms they would never win otherwise.

Iran going forward will almost certainly not rebuild it's war ships and conventional arms and will instead focus on hordes of cheap drones often called flying refrigerators with a few propellers attached to them and basic AI targeting programs that can adjust to targets.
 
Non-Iranian vessels should not move from their anchor points in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman until further notice.

Ships and their owners are cautioned strictly to only follow updates from Iranian authorities. Statements from the US president hold no credibility.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has rightly identified the US blockade of the strait an “ill-considered and ignorant decision.”

“It is impossible for others to pass through the Strait of Hormuz while we cannot,” Ghalibaf said.

Fat Boy proves he's an idiot every day. He thinks the size of his bank account equals superiority in all things including intelligence and education.

Stone's white nationalist party is now attacking the intellectuals as Clarence Thomas recently ranted about. Their entire movement is negative, making it evil in my opinion. as they prove with their claims of hating "the Left" more than they love "the Right". The owner of this forum said the same thing. He's not "Trumper" but hates "leftists". He considers me, a retired military, pro-Constitution, pro-gun, pro-States Rights advocate to be a "leftist" because....wait for it....I think Trump is a moron.

MAGAts are evil and anti-American. They seek to violently divide our nation, overthrow our Republic and install a White Nationalist autocracy. This is proved by the Project 2025 Agenda, Trump's cabinet and JPP posters like Stone, Terry and Damo.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America

He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans.

He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans -- a trend perpetrated, he argued, by “intellectuals” and the nation’s colleges and universities.

Thomas is bought and paid for. He will say exactly what he is told to say no matter how ridiculous.

And whatshismanes back account balance is probably mostly in his head.

Why is there no way to militarily prohibit Iran from inhibiting passage on international waters?
What is the specific Iranian military capability that's allowing them to control the strait,
and which the United States cannot eradicate?

To me, it looks like an outright military defeat on our part.
To me, it looks like they flat out beat us.

@Cypress noted that Iran can take a body blow.
It looks to me that they can take everything that we're able to throw.
Pigshit has managed to lose a war to a backwater country
while having control of the most expensive military (by far) on the face of the globe.

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

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

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.

Oh just look at you, cheering on the Iranian regime like a total traitorous faggot.
A lot of them will die tonight. How does that make you feel? :|

Are you going to threaten to murder him too, Mattie? Mutilate him? Beat him to within an inch of his life?
