How? Seriously how? Can they guarantee that not a single ship gets hit?

I mean, I know it's a joke but it does seem to be working for some countries

>The United Nations said on Friday it was setting up ​a task force to design a mechanism to ‌keep trade flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, warning that disruptions caused by the Iran war risked greater food ​shortages and humanitarian crises worldwide. >"The task ​force will now be in touch with all the relevant member ‌states ⁠to see how this can be operationalized," Dujarric said. "We hope that all member states involved will support this, especially for the sake of people ... who are ​already being impacted."

> setting up ​a task force to design a mechanism Can't wait for this task force to negotiate a meeting to discuss a plan that could create a mechanism which could encourage a scenario where they could build a way to think about a solution that could perhaps in the end maybe open the strait 3 months after the end of the war.

Are there any specific methodologies with this framework that would enhance capabilities within a dynamic holding that could shift structures to facilitate constructs enabling this foundation to go forward? Something you are looking to?

Well if there are any specific methodologies or frameworks they will need to be negotiated at a meeting prior to the negotiations to hold the meeting to discuss the plan that would create the mechanism to encourage a scenario where there could be built a way to think about a solution to open the strait. But its going to add more time. So more like 18 months.

So I’m assuming they have had meetings, and have now come to agreement that they will start trying to find people to work on this, and when they get all the people together and organized those people will then send phone calls or emails to people at certain countries asking them if they have time to have a meeting? However, this is worthy of sending the press release out now so people know all the work done.

Probably with a mild letter. God the UN is about as useful as wet towel.

Iran is winning the war. Iran wants to get paid and will eventually get paid. Regime will be stronger and Iran will have a toll to feed its people and war machine.

lol imagine I did but there is a "Advanced Profanity Filter" as a chrome add on extension. Imagine putting word Trump on it and all the annoying headlines are like \_\_\_\_\_\_ threatens.... \_\_\_\_\_ promises... \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ says something.
