Iran’s newly appointed secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, said that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is strictly contingent upon Washington meeting Tehran’s core demands, including a complete halt to regional conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.
During a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Tehran, Cong Peiwu, Rezaei emphasized that the strategic waterway will remain closed unless the United States changes its behavior and accepts Iran’s stipulated conditions, which have been communicated to Washington through intermediaries.
Rezaei reiterated that the U.S. must end its hostile policies, release frozen Iranian assets, and put an immediate end to ongoing wars across the region, specifically highlighting the conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
Enough with the “Trump will TACO” nonsense, this is a genuinely scary moment for all of earth, Trump is too cowardly to back down.
No he is most certainly not too cowardly to back down. You serious?
He is going to skulk away quietly while global oil stocks deplete, and eventually it will hurt everyone else too much and so other countries will step in to clean up his mess.
Where is the evidence for Trump acting rationally about this?
Curious on what’s so scary about it for all of earth?
Trump has to open the straight because of economic necessities and the coming election and Iran is willing to play hardball because they have a good chance if winning which they never really had come close to before.
We are headed into WW3
“All of Earth” is certainly overselling it, but a whole lot of people do need the oil coming out of Hormuz, for fertilizer if nothing else.
