It seems to be a bit of a nail-biter.

They do have a point. Starting a blockade during a ceasefire is a pretty big violation.

I honestly dont see how these two sides are supposed to come together. Iran would have to be stupid to give up the Straits while it would be idiotic for the US to allow Iran to remain in control of them.

Time is very much on Iran's side.

To be fair Iran could go back and block the strait at any time. But i do agree, stupid to go for negotiations with a prior condition: you give me everything, i give you nothing. But these are morons we're dealing with

It seems that the threat of blocking the Straits is much less powerful than what they are currently trying to do: set up a toll booth with the ability to exclude any nation in a targeted fashion. The first is a deterrent. The second will make them into the dominant regional power.

You guys are off the reservation lol. Iran holds no cards. They cant enforce anything... all of their threats have been empty. Exactly how can Iran block the straight if they have no ha r aware to do so? Sheesh people are dense.

the world was lucky iran/oman weren't charging. They are well within their right to have a panama/suez canal type of situation. The U.S are hypocrites

Jeezz.. i wonder what it takes to be this stupid AND wrong. It's like iran going to panama canal (formerly stolen by the U.S) and saying you can't charge for ships to go through here AND we now have control .

Trump says "The US own the Strait now"

Iran says "We are closing the Strait"

Iran again " The US should stop blocking the Strait, it violated cease fire"

Funny right.

Dropsite News; Iranian sources have said if US or pissrael start to bomb Iran again Iran would cut off all diplomatic channels and focus entirely on the war front.

Professor Marandi: All civilians should leave Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, saudi and UAE - sailors in ships anchoring around the strait should evacuate immediately - these are the first places to be destroyed (time is running low)

---- Seizing that ship was the dumbest shit murika did, now what trumpstein?
