I like it. We need to set up our own check points.

Good ... time to fully exercise our will on the IRGC.

Increase the pain.

It's the fastest way to force an internal meltdown, economic collapse, in the country.

Agreed. And I don't trust anything going to/ coming from ... China.

China gets 90% of Iran's oil exports and supplies 100% of their military. Anything from missiles to drones could be unloaded when it's one of their tankers.

Assuming the logic behind this is disrupt china from Iranian oil, so china puts pressure on Iran to negotiate.


I think it will backfire.

I feel out of the loop - how is a blockade devastating for Iran?
Is the idea that Iran cant collect tolls?

If they can’t buy or sell anything that must travel thru the strait, they have no economy.

Did you just wake up from your nap on the geopolitical master class Trump is giving? It will 1000000% work. You are dumb.

Yeah, right. It's time for Donnie to shite, or get off thepot, and stop changing the rules of the game every other day. This operation is taking on an air of disjointment. We're bobbing around in the Gulf of Oman with no clear strategy.

An estimated $435 million per day. Do the math home slice.

I think this is it. Mostly because Trump views the world in a transactional way. His whole worldview is 'what can I get out of this relationship/situation?' When he announced the ceasefire he floated that we might be able to get a piece of the proceeds on what Iran was doing. They're obviously not interested in participating in their own shakedown. So now we are....

blockading the strait that we didn't control in the first place to put pressure on Iran who by the way we removed sanctions from to help the price of oil come down.

But also now not allowing Iranian oil to enter the market via the blockade, causing oil to go over 100 again....

Trump really doesn't have a clue.

Iran will eventually have to come to the realization that they DO NOT have the upper hand here, never did. They need to go ahead and admit they are morons and cannot win this.

Orrrrrr we keep tightening the economic choke on them.

Geographically, militarily, etc you are correct.

Iran does have China, Europe, the Pope, and Democrats on their side.
