US military option back if no Iran deal by Trump China visit return - report

will give Trump excuse to cancel CCP visit. Lot of talk about Chinese pressure on Iran to end this after Iranian visit to China the other day.

$5 Trump dollars your kid works in supply as a grunt.

No, I win. He's out. He was a SAW gunner and he drove a lot. He was a grunt though.

Hmmm. The Chinese view on the Iran war. It ain't propaganda if the track record shows exactly that!

 

[MontyPython]

Yeah

Let's not forget the hot babes of Oman that will be encountered as well!

Well at least sunken ship sailers have adequate flotation devices available.

If the have so much control of the Strait, how is it they can't get their ships out or in?

It’s like prison. Both the inmates and the guards have “control”, but neither ultimately controls what happens on the inside.

Just ask your husband.

Can either of y’all post a list of commercial vessels that have transited the strait in the last week? I can go dig up an article that I read earlier that stated I think around 1,500 ships were stuck in limbo.

These numbers show the global impact of Iran's grip on the Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz has jolted the world economy, causing a spike in fuel prices that has rippled through other sectors with effects far beyond the Middle East. It has also left tens of thousands of mariners and hundreds of ships stranded in the Persian Gulf.

I meant it as rhetorical but yeah it’s obvious that the shipping traffic is less than a tenth of what it was before this fiasco and yes the strait is indeed closed. And also there are only two parties publicly stating they won’t allow commercial traffic to pass, Iran and the US. Ergo Iran and the US have closed the strait of Hormuz.

You honestly think Iran controls the straights?

That's a misleading question. Iran is not "controlling" the strait in the sense that it is direction ships on how or when to maneuver. But clearly, they control the strait in the sense that their threats and their actions have stopped many ships from traversing it.

I would threaten to mine area around Kharg Island before I started another campaign. Of course our esteemed USN has gutted our MCM capabilities.

Lol. Trump taking orders from the Saudis like a good Lil doggy. Dude projects nothing but cowardice and weakness.

Trump shelved ‘Project Freedom’ after Saudis refused use of bases and airspace

Riyadh told White House it would deny access for operation to provide tankers military escort through strait of Hormuz

Should he bomb them too? What response would you like?

Whole thing is a mess. Trump should have kept his fat mouth shut, throughout the entirety of it.

Sure. Bomb Mecca.

Sure. Bomb Mecca.

That’s the first reasonable thing you’ve posted in quite a while.
