@no1marauder saidBut. We. Will. Control. The. Strait.
You're ignoring that we still don't control the strait and that tankers still aren't going through for fear of attack by Iranian forces.
Blockading Iranian ports doesn't change that.
@AThousandYoung saidThat is no diff than your incessant ‘links’. I never click on one. They aren’t allowed on a debate stage, are they.
lol 4 examples where Israel did not help the US fight. The Yom Kippur War? Really? Haha
Relying on AI is lazy and the claims it makes are occasionally fictional.
What is it with you right wingers and AI? Is it like a prosthetic to take the place of natural intelligence?
But thank you for including the prompt.

@Sleepyguy saidNo I mean the religious fanatics not the secular Zionists. It's in their scriptures.
The Jews? I think you mean Israel. Not the same thing, right? Don't be annoying to the non- Zionist Jews.
Here's a youtube link with a timestamp. I used tinyurl because the timestamp doesn't work on this website.

@sh76 saidThe ejaculations of praise for the blockade leading to the opening of the Strait seem to have been premature to say the least.
And, just like that, Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz.

Sure, they have a nice fig leaf that they can use (the Lebanon ceasefire) to explain the about-face.
But it's obvious that the IRGC suddenly realizing that blockades can go both ways contributed to the back-down.
@no1marauder saidYou know what was premature, and you added your piece supporting this rubbish a couple weeks ago? Moonbus's thread: MIGA - the art of the deal, where the opening post said:

Here's what Iran gets:
1. to assert military control over the Strait of Hormuz
2. to collect a 1-million-dollar toll for ships passing through the strait (passage was free before)
3. to rebuild its bridges and roads at the world's expense
4. to enrich uranium
5. install a regime which is even more domestically repressive than the previous one
6. a guarantee that neither America nor Israel will ever attack them again

How much of this turned out to be correct? NOTHING.

@Rajk999 saidLMAO! I never "supported such rubbish"; if you had bothered to read my post in response to the OP there on page 2 of the thread, you would have seen this:

no1:"I think you're overreaching. Trump was looking for a way out of his insane threats and the Pakistani ceasefire proposal gave him one. I don't think that means he's going to outright capitulate as you seem to think.
An early guess: ultimately an agreement that looks a lot like the one made by Iran with President Obama."
Crow is delicious, isn't it?
@Rajk999 saidBefore Trump had the Ayatollah who left the Strait open killed, Iran did not block the Strait.

Now they're blocking the Strait unless they voluntarily agree to let it open. Sounds like #1 is correct.
@no1marauder saidYup.

Oh, well. 🙁 😞
@no1marauder saidTrump folded a strait because Iran had a big pair.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidYou're so far into lalaland the train can't turn around.
As you sit there blubbering your lips unable to comprehend the brilliance of President Trump.
You ridin the wrong train bud!
The guy was kicked out of his own situation room.
@wildgrass said? I think you re-posted something a few weeks ago, and so did Sonhouse. You never tell Sonhouse that he reposted something.
Lol Joe you posted this almost 3 weeks ago.
@wildgrass saidAren’t you glad we didn’t spend that $675Billion on loser tuitions.
Maybe not so genius... Cost total of just the blockade is $5billion and increasing. Not going to end for months?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/05/07/cia-intelligence-iran-trump-blockade-missiles/
$5B/day will give Trump 130 days to ride on!!!
And I guess you liberals’ next thing is to say that Iran will just simply outlast us. Trump has been working on us out lasting them in short notice for a long time now. The guy is brilliant. He will know how to stop their “outlasting” . Pipe dream if you liberals are thinking that Trump will just have to let them out last us. We are too busy and getting bored.
