Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period
- Thread starter Tecumsehsbones
- Start date
As the prospect of a diplomatic resolution to end the US war on Iran remains in the balance, President Trump has directed some of his attention to attacking the media instead of the Pope NATO Iran.
“For those people that still read The Failing New York Times and, despite the fact that Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, Militarily, and otherwise, you would think that Iran is actually winning or, at the very least, doing quite well — But that’s not true, and The New York Times knows that it’s FAKE NEWS!” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday afternoon.

Middle East crisis live: Donald Trump claims Iran ‘wants to work a deal’ and confirms blockade of strait of Hormuz — Guardian US
US president claims Iran ‘called this morning’ and says blockade of ships transiting the strait has begun
An Iranian military spokesperson called any U.S. restrictions on international shipping "piracy," warning that if Iranian ports were threatened, no port in the Gulf or Gulf of Oman would be secure. Any military vessels approaching the strait would violate the ceasefire, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said.
Trump said Iran's navy had been "completely obliterated" during the war, adding that only a small number of "fast-attack ships" remained…which has zero relevance to the proximity of the Zagros Mountains. Specifically, the southern edge of the Zagros range in Fars and Hormozgan provinces that Iran would defend their claim on the Strait of Hormuz from.
The Zagros Mountains run parallel to Iran's coast on the Persian Gulf and end at the Strait of Hormuz, & I’m assuming someone in Trump‘s administration that has access to an atlas would’ve already pointed this out.
"Warning: If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED, using the same system of kill that we use against the drug dealers on boats at Sea. It is quick and brutal," Trump, much of whose communications are on social media, wrote on his microblogging site.
(He was apparently referring to the U.S. strikes carried out against suspected drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific. The strikes, which began in September, killed more than 160 people. The U.S. military has not provided evidence that the vessels were ferrying drugs, but that’s a different story)
Trump has also lashed out at U.S.-born Pope Leo, who has spoken out against the war, denouncing him as "terrible" in a rare direct attack by a U.S. president on a pontiff (?) because one front is never enough for this guy. The only other time a sitting US president has ever attacked a pope like this was….ready for this…Trump himself in 2016…but that was a different pope so that’s a different story I guess.
Wall Street Journal: “With a fragile cease-fire in place between the U.S. and Iran, America’s closest allies in the region—and some of the best customers for U.S. weapons systems—are scanning the world for alternative missile defenses, getting creative about ways to bolster defenses quickly.”
“Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are turning to South Korean missile-defense systems, Ukrainian drones that smash into targets midair and traditional American Gatling guns.”
{Ukraine is going to be a major weapons exporter after this. Russia’s shit doesn’t work, but their allies have no alternative vendor. Middle Eastern countries don’t want to be subject to the whims of the American electorate (like Ukraine has been) and want alternatives stat. Something something cards, etc…}

Catholics and Zionism are worlds apart.
Call me you want but you can't call me a liar.
Repeating a statement isn't a source.
And I think of you more as a fantasist than a liar.
Efforts underway for second round of US-Iran talks as ships reported transiting Strait of Hormuz — The Canadian Press
ISLAMABAD (AP) — The standoff between the United States and Iran deepened Tue
Lloyd’s List, citing ship registry and tracking data, reported that it's owned by a Chinese shipping company and ultimately bound for China.

What is happening in the Strait of Hormuz as Chinese tanker defies blockade — The Independent
A Chinese-owned oil and chemicals tanker, the Rich Starry, sailed through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, appearing to defy a US blockade.
Ok, apparently “Rich Starry” is sanctioned, uninsured, false flagged to another nation, etc…but its cargo didn’t originate from Iran.

So….did “Rich Starry” pay the Tehran Tollbooth for Iranian safe passage (?) or not pay it for American safe passage? While the Rich Starry aligns with the profile of vessels using Iran's "paid" safe passage system, specific payment details for this transit have not been officially disclosed, and maybe never will be.
