The Iranian's opened the Strait in a show of good faith after the cease-fire was agreed in Lebanon. But instead of responding by lifting the blockade, Trump has decided to keep it in place, because he just loves leverage. And as blockades are universally recognised as being acts of war, keeping it in place violates the cease-fire, so Iran will close the Strait and prepare for a resumption of hostilities.

It stopped traffic down to a trickle. This delays the oil getting to countries, forcing them to open their reserves and pushing prices up, causing everything to also go up.
Countries who aren't blockaded would have an advantage over the long term because they won't have to deal with the sticker shock.

Any news organization that publishes anything this US administration says without getting confirmation directly from all parties involved is guilty of assisting his fire hose of falsehoods which increasingly make people distrustful of everything they hear which can cause them to just disengage from it all.
Trump might be a moron in mental decline but flooding the information space with gibberish is a tactic he's engaged in from the start of his political career. It keeps him getting the attention his ego craves, gives his followers constant drips to consume and pushes some people to just stop engaging politically at all since they can't figure out what's going on. And Trump uses that disengagement to get away with even more.
If you parachuted a newsroom crew from the 1970s into today it would take them less than a week to brand Trump and Co as unreliable sources and they'd flag everything as yet to be confirmed and wouldn't say anything is for sure without verifying it. I get journalism has always had its issues but the modern state of it is bringing it to new lows, as if that was possible. F*** all the media networks that print whatever announcement Trump or his minions make without questioning it when they've been proven to be full of shit so many times.

Depends on who you call public in iran.
Me, and many others who are against the regime, believe there are two scenarios;
1-mojtaba doesn't want to end up like his father, and has a ben salman moment where he wants to open up to the world.
2- Ghalibaf (head of the parliament and top law maker) is actually pulling the strings and there is no Khamenei even alive to even stop him.
Hardliners and regime supporters believe the government (which araghchi is its foreign minister) betrayed the islamic values and is negotiating with killers of previous supreme leaders because they are afraid or something.
Either way, the regime cannot make any deal unless they somehow manage to calm the hardliners (about 5 million of the population, without counting IRGC). they get support, they riled them up with talks about how they get revenge from US and now they are stuck with no way to go forward and no way to back down

>When Democrats take over congress, there needs to be serious investigations into the manipulation of the market during this unnecessary war.
Ooh boy, can't wait for the 3.5 year long investigation to tell us what we already knew, followed by federal courts slow-walking every slam-dunk case until the next Republican president gets elected to immediately order the DOJ to drop all the charges. 🙄
If Democrats get control of congress, anything less than codifying mandatory-minimums for white collar financial crimes should be seen as democrats being complacent with all the corruption. Democrat-lead investigations have uncovered plenty of rats in the last 20 years, but nothing has really stuck besides the Madoff conviction. *None* of the people caught rating junk bonds/mortgage baskets as AAA, or the bankers who lied about their assets and liabilities in 2008 ever saw a day in jail, even though Obama's DOJ had them dead to rights if they had actually wanted to hold the culprits accountable.

It was Iran who declared that the strait will remain open and Trump who said the naval blockade will persist. What am I missing?

You know, this would be funny if it wasn't so goddamn tragic. I mean, in the last, what, 12 hours, we've gone from "Iran has reopened the strait" to "Iran is charging ships a toll to use the strait" to them closing it again. But it's not funny since thousands are dead for no reason other than the egos or two men.

Every time an agreement is announced, Trump adds his own made up shit to it, which Iran has to correct. Sad that we all believe Iran over Trump.

All this opening and closing reminds me of the Epstein files. They’re open, they’re closed, they’re released, they’re redacted. Why is the USA over there again?

As everyone expected, the US and Iran released five completely different pieces of information regarding whether the Strait of Hormuz would be open within just 24 hours.

At the end of the day the U.S is negotiating with a splintered Iranian State, there are now multiple factions at play here and those factions do not agree on how to proceed forward.
On top of that, Trump likes to just declare things to be true or false in order to try to steer the narrative in any given moment. Most of the time we learn VERY soon afterwards that we were not told the entire truth.
This pattern has repeated over and over again for nearly everything he does. It most certainly is a deliberate strategy.

Trump was outraged that no one thanked him for getting them to open it for a couple of hours. Should we thank him for it being closed now? What a douchebag. He starts a war to deflect the child raping scandal and gets more than he bargained for. Then got on his knees for an exit. When he "supposedly " brought the war he started to an end, he wants gratitude. He's a walking inspiration for mentally handicapped. people. Anyone can be president.

Check out the old conservative sub where there's not a single mention of this but there's a very excited post about the Strait being open earlier today. People calling Trump a genius for working out the best deal ever.

I would turn this movie off if it was presented to me as fiction.
Don’t worry, Trump will consult his senior advisor- frontotemporal dementia and they will post something insane.That should solve it.

I was hanging with some buddies last night. They hate Trump and think he’s crazy but he’s better than Harris would have been. They then proceeded to talk about how Iran has been a problem for 50 years and this needed to be done and oil went down 40 bucks and blah blah blah. I’m seeing them today - I’ll be sure to remind them when pill goes back to $120

And anybody with a functioning brain could see this coming...I mean they only said it would be open for the duration of the ceasefire.
That's one week.
But since Trump wouldn't drop his blockade, they just said "Hell with it. Whatever fury he can muster, we can take it. Close it back up."
