Strait of Hormuz closed again, Iran says, as ships attacked

Khamenei is too old for him

Noo… *closes the straight of Hormuz shyly*

Strait of Schrödinger, open and closed at the same time.

Bruh, we knew it wouldn't last and lol if you think it would.

Like a crazy game of "red light, green light" but with cargo ships lol

Too old for Trump.

Right now, Iran would have more direct effect on our government is they closed the ~~Straight Of Hormuz~~ **straight bars**!

Someone call up Darulio from The Orville.

You put a blockade in, you put a blockade out! You put a blockade in and you shoot it all about! You do the geopolitics pokey and you twist your words around! Epstein is what it’s all about!

That's what happens when incompetent fucks are at the negotiation table.

You put your global economy in and you take your global economy out and you put your global economy in and you shake it all about...

More like "Open, shut them, Open, shut them, give a little clap clap clap."

I literally hummed a jingle of hokey-pokey upon seeing this post lmao

still playing chicken with a car after being hit with car multiple times

Kind of thing I would imagine if the US was led by a dumb f***.

Red rover?

Pete Hegseth is playing that drinking game.

F*** that. I'm making a board game *Blockade:* Each player is given 2 large ships and 3 small coloured ships. On the board are neutral coloured ships that move forward after everyone has played their turn. Now, on every turn, you can put one of your ships onto one of the limited s**** (big ships are worth 2 s****) or draw a card. If one of the neutral ships touches your deployed ship, you get a number of points depending on the size of your deployed ship, called a "toll value". Once a toll is paid, that neutral ship will "pass freely"" and is removed from the board, if a neutral ship passes through without touching a player's ship, it is removed and no one gets the "toll" points. Cards contain an action that can be saved or are forced to be used immediately and can have beneficial or adverse effects. Example 1: Lego propaganda - Once played, all players other than the player who drew the card are forced to deploy 1 small ship on their next turn if there is space. If there is no space, they are forced to skip a turn. Example 2: appeasement - target one player and force them to remove a ship as well as skipping a turn. Example 3: AMAZING DEAL - Must be played immediately, withdraw all of your deployed ships. Example 4: Epstein files - Can be played immediately or held. Once played, you must hit one of the other players at random and are able to deploy two ships if there is space.

I never would have thought Iranian Lego vid would be on my score card. Or any score card. Ever. 

I'd like to keep my liver thanks. 

Market manipulation Peace deal Friday morning. Market goes crazy. After hours / weekend, deal falls through and markets tank on Monday Buy end of day Thursday, sell end of day Friday, rinse repeat

Open, shut them, open, shut them, Put them in your lap, lap, lap.

Weird how everything goes south on a Saturday, very wierd.

Trump and his cronies are just looting as much as they can.

They’re literally swing trading the global economy right now. Wild times.

It's pretty weird how weird it is. Weird

Russia wants their dividends from ol' Donny T and thus they are bending over the entire stock market every single week to round up the money.

We are now at the point where our time and energy would be well spent coming up with new and creative ways to avoid giving these crooks any more of our money. 

Schrödinger’s Strait

It’s clopen

Its open. Being hit with a missile or mine is optional.

It's aladeen

It hasn't been open in a month.  It's probably not going to be open for quite a while.  There's no reason to believe anything else.  

I need a website for this. Something like downdetector.

In short, it is closed until the IRGC decides it is open. The public announcements are coming from Araghchi and the civilian government which has no control over the IRGC. Instead, the Corps answers personally to the Supreme Leader. Since the only person who can tell the IRGC to stand down is in a coma, the strait will not be open *any* time soon.

Its double blocaded now. Both Iran and US doing a blockade to outbloc the others blocade.

something like 10 ships got through before Iran realized that the US is still blocking traffic to Iran ports, so they closed it again

> SO IS IT OPEN OR CLOSED??? Yes.

CLOSED FOR ALL SHIPS SINCE SATURDAY MORNING.

Open shut them, open shut them, do a little clap *claps*

Was open for a little while during the 'reset', aka the second cease fire. One convoy of tankers got through and now it's closed again. It's like killing Larijani was a bad idea because the IRGC is going to do what it wants to do. Doesn't seem like there's anyone with both political power and command over the IRGC.

It was never open, and it will remain closed until the war is over. Anything either Trump or the civilian Iranian leadership say on the matter can be ignored.

It wasn't open when Iran claimed it was.

Trump isn't doing it for a peace deal. He's trying to make it seem like the strait is open when it isn't just so he can illegally manipulate the stock market to make an easy buck. 

You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.  -Maga

I think this is a negotiation tactic for better conditions in the peace talk 2.0. But I could be wrong.

The astronaut?

Yes. But this is his 5D? 7D? Chess....

No, he claimed he did something. He does that a lot.

He decided to have a blockade, which is an act of war, so the ceasefire was technically already over.

Part of the ceasefire terms was that Iran opens Hormuz...and not close it again after 3 hours.

He’d need consent for that and that’s not something he usually bothers getting.

Yes, but markets closed Friday.

No they aren’t.  They are pumping and Dumping stocks making billions.   The average person is getting played 

What are you talking about he probably making the most money from this. Your ass as a peasant is getting played like a fiddle.

Hes playing market algorithms like a fiddle 🤣

To be honest, I have mixed feelings😫 HE is the f****** problem. Blockading Iran? After they agreed to what he wanted? Such a fool.

He just commanded the markets to react to his speech, the strait is closed and will likely remain closed for the forseeable future, but that doesn't stop Trump from saying it is open to cash in on the market reaction that happens.

Same. I don't wanna go to work on Monday.

There is a chance it has started and I don't say that with hyperbole. Anyone in the cyber industry knows we've technically been in a digital WW3 for years and it has steadily escalated. But I suspect this is truly the start evolving. The common rhetoric of nations fighting and bombs dropping will be a small part of the war. People fighting eachother, society collapsing, fractions forming - that is the real nuclear weapon for Russia, China etc. For decades they have reinforced the power they have. Prepared for this timeline. All while the west has indulge in contrasting arguments, decline of social cohesion, continuing to weave the social fabric that is needed when we starts in full effect. Look at the resilience and grit shown by allied nations during the darkest times of WW1 and 2..... absolutely no f****** chance that happens now. Between people hating the opposition, hating the state and having massive distrust for governments, all it would take is the power to go off, kill the internet and start spreading misinformation about what is going on and you'll have countries killing themselves. I fear we spent too long focusing on big bombs and flying objects, while the opposition was setting up a far more strategic play.

The Iranian navy was completely destroyed! Trump said so. Must have been a ghost ship.

Remember when Pete Hegseth said US has air superiority? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

They have drones, we already knew that. You are trying to oversimplify it because you don’t have any actual argument. 

Trump blocked Iran's ports, sooo...
