It’s so in a few days he can “re-open” the strait again, declaring that everything is back to normal: “No president ever opened as many straits as I did”
The idea being to choke off Iran’s ability to use it at all. This kills their remaining income stream and also incents the Chinese and others who thought they had a workaround (the tolls) to instead put pressure on Iran.
it wasnt being used all for the most part its not that hard, and not some genius plan by trump. besides russia and china has other ways of getting around it anyways.
I’m still trying to work out if this one’s a late April Fool…
Imagine working for the man. You just hear crazy shit day in, day out, and have to quickly adapt and run with it, otherwise he’ll find another mug who will.
yes, trump is doing 2 things right now, try and pump and dump the markets and continued distraction from epstein files. given how bondi was replaced very quickly BY BLANCHE, and suddenly melania coming out of the woodwork to give a “i did not help diddle kids” speech.
Wasn’t Iran already doing that before and wasn’t the main goal to open it up again?
Yeah but if they say it this way it sounds like they’re in control of the situation

This is not news
Are the pipelines still operational?
iran can ship it through central asia, or other asian countries overland .
But that only works if the US is willing to start attacking unarmed oil tankers, which will do no favors for their international support.
If they hadn’t alienated all their allies, they could build an embargo until the straits were opened but that ship had sailed.
