Trump clears the Strait

[Into the Night]

And you're below me in the Profound area.

LIF. Grow up, Stooge.

 

[Into the Night]

Did I suggest otherwise?

Yes.

Your attempt at redefinition?

YARP

We still exist, and we still resist.

YARP

Of course not. I was referring to the propaganda value of certain commentators on this forum.

LIF. Grow up. You can't blame your problem on anybody else.

 

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]

Yes.

Fascinating.

All of the Strait is within the territorial waters of Iran and Oman.

Nope. International waters, pirate.

Both Iran and Oman claim the standard 12 nautical mile territorial sea under international law (UNCLOS Article 3, which reflects customary law even for non-parties).

Doesn't apply to straits between several nations, pirate.

Because 12 + 12 = 24 nautical miles > 21 nautical miles, the territorial seas of the two countries fully cover the strait at its narrowest point and overlap in the middle.

Nope. International waters, pirate.

Why else would I bother with this site?

Well, at least you admit you are a paid propagandist. Looks like you have no mind of your own.

 

[Into the Night]

I did not. I mocked his childish attempt to anger me.

He did anger you. His insult is apparently quite effective!

Again, events indicate I am correct.

There is no “international waters” gap.

• The northern portion of the Strait (up to 12 nm from Iran’s baseline) is within Iran’s territorial sea.
• The southern portion (up to 12 nm from Oman’s baseline, including the Musandam Peninsula) is within Oman’s territorial sea.

Cowardly sneak attacks are something to celebrate?

No. That's why Iran was attacked.

 

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]

I feel no anger, nor did I express any. Why would I? You appear to be delusional.

 

[Into the Night]

I don't need to "ask Iran". When did Iran ever prosecute a sneak attack to assassinate (murder) a foreign head of state?

That won't work. Denying Iran's constant wars won't work.

 

[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]

Well, at least you admit you are a paid propagandist.

I am proud to serve my nation, and I am grateful for being compensated for my service.

Looks like you have no mind of your own.

To you, perhaps.

RQAA. Chanting mindlessly gets you nowhere.

I couldn't stop you if I wanted to. Do carry on.

Lie. Denial.

LIe. Denial.

• The northern portion of the Strait (up to 12 nm from Iran’s baseline) is within Iran’s territorial sea.
• The southern portion (up to 12 nm from Oman’s baseline, including the Musandam Peninsula) is within Oman’s territorial sea.

Lie. Synthesis.

Repetition fallacy. Ignoring maritime law won't work, pirate.

 

[Into the Night]

I feel no anger, nor did I express any. Why would I? You appear to be delusional.

Lie. Denial. Inversion fallacy.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

You don't know, of course.

To you, perhaps.

No, you have openly admitted you have no mind of your own. You just said you are posting here as a paid propagandist.

Replacing even a fraction of Gulf oil would require years of investment in higher-cost alternatives (more U.S./Canadian shale, Brazilian pre-salt, or Venezuelan heavy oil).

Short-term, prices would surge (as seen in recent disruptions pushing crude above $100–110/barrel), raising costs for gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, plastics, chemicals, and electricity.

Global GDP would take a hit from higher energy inflation; developing economies dependent on Gulf imports (much of Asia) would suffer most.

Strategic petroleum reserves help temporarily but are finite and not a long-term fix.

This is not sustainable for America or Israel.

Make believe is fun for you, isn't it?

Remember, the USA is not only the largest producer of oil on the planet, but over 4 times larger than Iran. Where Iran produces a scant 7% of the oil used., the USA produces about 30%
