Trump says Iran has 'no cards' beyond Hormuz control

Pretty big goddamn card

Seems like a “Trump” card.

But aside from the Strait of Hormuz Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

They also have the card that they can destroy oil infrastructure all over the middle east. Both achieve the same goal, higher oil prices / global shortages.

"You have no leverage aside from that incredibly large gun you have pointed at literally everyone"

This guy is a clown. It’s the choke point for the whole world so it’s a f****** good “card” to have.  I cannot understand how we elected this clown administration. So f****** sick of “nobody knew!”, “no one told me!”.  This entire administration is a pack of clown cards.

Oh that Strait of Hormuz card.... only controlling 20% of the global oil supply... Jesus f****** christ Trump is a f****** idiot.

Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip -step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz" Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours." "Iran is Dead" Mar 23: "We are giving them more time." Mar 24: "The war is nearing its end." Mar 25: "We are still negotiating." Mar 26: "Iran is begging for peace. They gave us a gift. We will give them more time." Mar 27: "Talks with iran are going very well" Mar 28: "War will be over soon" Mar 29: "Maybe we take Kharg island, maybe we dont" Mar 30: "Open the Strait or we will obliterate all energy infrastructure and oil wells" Mar 31: "We dont need the strait, we got plenty of oil. Get it yourself UK." April 1: "Iran wants a ceasefire" / "Strongly considering pulling out of NATO" / "There's no deal with Iran" April 3:"We can take their oil and make a fortune" April 5:"Open the fuckin strait you crazy bastards or youll be living in hell" April 6:"US could charge for strait of hormuz passage" April 7:"A whole civilization will die tonight" April 8:"Iran accepts ceasefire, the strait is opened" *strait closed* April 9:"NATO allies have days to reopen the strait" April 10:"Iran has no cards" April 11:"Were going to open up the strait"

It’s the only card they need and the one reason why no POTUS was ever stupid enough to start a war with Iran, but this numbskull thought that they would never play it, yet here we are…

Sooooo you gave them their only card. You know that right?

Not this f****** "cards" thing again

Hell of a trump card though. Ayyyyy gottem.

They've got a few cards.  They've got the straight of Hormuz. They've got enough oil infrastructure in their cross hairs that they could wreck energy markets. They could also attack the water desalination plants of the GCC  and smash their economies.  Once that money stops flowing into the US stock market, the AI bubble burst and you have a full on US recession.  They could also get the Houthis to attack tankers coming out of the Red Sea to further squeeze energy prices. Their last card is that their adversary is a massive idiot who should have never been put back into power.  Its gotta be truly delightful watch your enemy consistently make the wrong decisions and dig themselves deeper into a quagmire. 

"Iran has no cards ***except for f****** Exodia the Forbidden One****" -* The biggest dumbass on the face of this planet we all call home.

He also called it [the Gulf](https://www.threads.com/@brittainforsenate/post/DW-I8_NEh0i?xmt=AQF02gXsFqT4eazJ2KQ9gZVT3JaKBDXZRWIA4Fqx7_E2SjTbo04bxJG4awdj5pdCy0Ju7XZN&slof=1) of Hormuz.

At least they wore a suit

Hormuz control = control of the world economy he who controls the spice controls life

Thats like saying the guy mugging you has nothing but a gun at your head. 

Their one card is the "how to ~~play p****~~ control the war" card

They only have 1 card but it’s an Ace

Well Trump isn’t playing with a full deck….

Aside from this straight flush, my opponent has nothing.

If your only card is an Ace in a high card game, what's the point of mentioning you only have 1 good card. If that 1 good card is enough to get your demands met, I'd say they are winning that exchange. Mind you, they didn't have this Ace card until Trump attacked them. Talk about giving them shit for free.

They have enough cards for a strait.

If not for that straight flush they have, they'd have no hand at all!

In other words, Iran got cards

“They totally have my deformed orange balls in a vice. But other than that…” Also, #Trump rapes children!!!! Impeach and imprison the child rapist!

Iran holds no cards besides controlling the global petroleum supply. We got them right where we want them.

Always talking about the cards. This is the man who managed to bankrupt his own c*****. He doesn’t understand how cards work.

What’s wrong with this guy and cards. People’s lives are not cards….

I think the hardest part for Americans is they are utterly defeated. America has no leverage. Americans will bomb and break things for weeks to come but the result will be the same. Iran controls the Strait and they will dictate who comes and goes. Meanwhile, everyone that was an American ally will rethink its position and not rely on the American military muscle as a deterrent. Trump is done. People can write his political obituary now. We just need to move on to criminal proceedings with him while he’s still alive.

For a country with no cards that was defeated in the first hour of operations, they sure know how to drag out a war. 

And yet it’s the only card they really need.

Trump keeps thinking others are playing cards when they play chess with him. Probably explains a lot for his decisions

so Iran just has 4 aces. no big deal.

Yeah but it's a Straight of Hormuz, the best hand in the game (so far).

Turns out that was the only card they needed...and they knew it!

Release the Epstein files!

So they have no leverage besides being able to threaten shipping and close one of the most critical shipping lanes in the world at will. Might only be one card but it's one f****** serious card.

Control of the strait is a whole deck of cards by itself.

YoU hAvE nO cArDs (has all the cards)

They just have a gun to the head of %20 of the worlds oil causing actual pain to everyone in the US who in turn blame trump and will not vote for republicans in the midterms. For no cards, well played Iran, well played.

Trump says Iran has all the cards

Maybe this idiot just doesn’t see the following cards that Iran has on the table? * controls strait of Hormuz, but more broadly energy markets now * has highly enriched uranium * has and can continue destroying oil infra in the ME * is now capable of charging tolls for Hormuz * has demonstrated the effectiveness of their low-cost arsenal * geographic resilience if a ground invasion were to occur * regional influence of Hezbollah, the Houthis I mean, it is fair to say that anyone literate should be able to understand that the US has completely fucked everything up. Hell, there’s nothing that we can even point to in history that is even remotely similar. Trump has two options: he can accept failure or continue escalating further for an even bigger defeat.

Remember when he said Zelensky held “no cards” dude is still smoking the Russians to this day. Trump is a used cars salesman’s who pitches his ideas and thoughts using this same keywords and references

That’s the only card they need, you f****** idiot.

what other f****** card does iran need besides the strait card?!

Well that’s better than all our cards combined. Dumbass. 

Sorta like saying that someone is broke outside of their $30 billion trust fund.

Well if your one card is destroying the world economy you don't really need a second

So… the only card that matters. Iran could literally ruin Trump and his administration with that card. What a f****** idiot.

I’d say it’s a pretty strong card that effects the world as seen by gas prices globally .

So he thinks they have a really good card.

That and a huge army. And a fleet of drones. And impassable geography. Straight flush.

Iran is a world power now. They have now shown that they control 20% of the world's oil. They hit the j****** with Trump!

That’s a pretty important Trump card.

Isn't control of the strait the cards?

"All he has is pocket kings!"

Those are the cards ya dunce.

Pretty big card if you ask me. A magical raise gas prices worldwide by $2 card that only cost a few drones to enact. Friendly reminder none of this had to happen, but Kamala had a weird laugh and she wasn't hard enough on Israel so here we are.

They've got a strait flush while we've got a high King. I'm no world p**** tour announcer, but them odds are pretty one sided.

That feels like the entire deck

They have no cards beyond the one big card they have!!

Sounds like they have the winning hand.

Trump didn’t think Ukraine had any card either, and they haven’t folded either

What do you mean? They are holding a straight.

...that is the game winning card

It’s a pretty dang effective card, bro.

Stop with the cards already!

Again with the fucken cards. Peedo

That’s a big fuckin card

So apart pretty much been able to bring Western civilisation to it knees they have nothing. Well done Mr Trump.

The best card that any trump opponent has is Trump coz he always chickens out

Possibly true but it’s a fairly good one and is maybe a Trump card.

My idiot in christ, these are the only cards that matter here. Holy f***...

The Hormuz card is why no president in 50 years went this far. That’s it, the Hormuz shit was that formidable. I’m honestly worried everything is going to permanently inflate up to 3 maybe 4 percent. And Trump meanwhile will declare the straight “partially opened” and say f*** it. I think that’s what these negotiations are going to boil down to- how much throttling/limits will you put on the channel.

It’s a big f****** card. Its cost billions and billions and billions and…

That's like saying "you have no cards other than the gun switch to the explosives in my house" it's a pretty effective card.

The truth is, Trump has no cards. He lost the war.

And what cards does the US hold, exactly?!

Only time in history that a single card results in a strait flush.

No cards except the "destroy the world economy" card... Goddamn it America... why the f*** did you let this guy back into office?

Says the man who holds no cards

Trump also thought we defeated and “destroyed” Iran within hours of the first attack. That was five weeks ago. The only thing that exceeds Trump’s stupidity is his legendary awful judgment.

The emperor truly has no clothes

That’s one pretty big card. It amazes me that the instigators of this tragedy didn’t see that one coming.

It's a really strong card, it seems, considering the US is backing down every 15 minutes to 24 hours.

So, Iran’s only card is having a complete chokehold on the global economy? That’s all?

Seems like until he has Hormuz, Trump has no cards

They have a very defensible position for their country and no one likes Trump enough to help. Those seem like good cards.

That's a pretty f****** significant card, you geriatric f***

So many people DO NOT understand that this is going to also directly cause food shortages and famine in the US due to lack of fertilizer shipments. I guess the preppers were right all along.

Why does Trump think he’s always playing cards

Strait was open. Trump bombs. Strait closed. Trump gives Iran frozen assets and lifts sanctions on their oil to get Iran to agree to reopen the Strait. USA gets nothing. Trump claims victory. Do I have that just about right?

So they just hold all the aces. Gotchsa, chiefie. So glad this man is my commander in chief, he's right on top of things. Sharp as a bowling ball.

Except Hormuz is their trump card and they can play it all day long and as long as Trump is still around.

Iran can keep the strait closed and cause a worldwide economic catastrophe. Seems like they’re playing “P****” and Trump is playing “Go Fish”

That control is a very strong card

That’s a pretty big card.

It’s a pretty good card…

Seems like that's the only card they need, Donpedo

So 4 aces but no other cards.

They currently have a strait

Wasn't it 2 years ago he told Zelensky he had "no cards," and Ukraine has since killed hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers and basically held Russia to a standstill? I don't think Trump is a good card player.
