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.
What? The strait is open and has been open. You can go and verify it right now. The only country it is not open to is Iran. Are people really still sitting around thinking Iran has closed the strait this whole time?
Fair play. Israel pressured the US into this pointless war, so make the US pressure Israel out of those pointless wars.
Only, Israel is the one holding the cards and has Potus on a leash with blackmail from the Epstein honeypot. So we’ll see how effective this is in truth…
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.
Oh I remember this game! The white phosphorous scene hit, and the part where you end up in the opening helicopter chase and one of the characters lampshades it is pretty great. The end speech where the antagonist finally sweeps away any pretense of a fourth wall? Shivers.
