You are unaware of the globalist plans if you think muslims having lots of children would be a stumbling block of the rulers of the world. Expendable slaves are never a problem when you have complete control.

Is the war over yet?
Looking great and we're way ahead of schedule. Dismantling 47 years in 47 days was an aggressive plan, but we are America and failure is not an option for real Americans.

I think there is a decent possibility that blockading the strait for all countries is just about the worst thing we could do. I think erasing every Iranian population center from the map would do less geopolitical damage than the blockade.

Not much oil is moving through the straight now…. Any that does paid a toll to the Iranians. The blockade stops that and is designed to wreck the Iranian economy.
I think it is a delaying tactic. We will look for mines and prepare to attack any areas where Iran could launch missiles or drones to attack shipping when the blockade is lifted.
After mines are cleared I think the blockade will be moved to Kharg island. We don’t have to land troops on it and try to hold it. We can simply keep any tankers from loading that also hurts the Iranian economy. That also keeps the oil facilities there and available to the Iranians after the regime falls.

Trump: "Iran promised to open the Strait of Hormuz, and they knowingly failed to do so. This caused anxiety, dislocation, and pain to many people and Countries throughout the World. They say they put mines in the water, even though all of their Navy, and most of their “mine droppers,” have been completely blown up. They may have done so, but what ship owner would want to take the chance? There is great dishonor and permanent harm to the reputation of Iran, and what’s left of their “Leaders,” but we are beyond all of that. As they promised, they better begin the process of getting this INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY OPEN AND FAST! Every Law in the book is being violated by them. I have been fully debriefed by Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, on the meeting that took place in Islamabad through the kind and very competent leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan. They are very extraordinary men, and continuously thank me for saving 30 to 50 million lives in what would have been a horrendous War with India. I always appreciate hearing that — The amount of Humanity spoken of is incomprehensible.
The meeting with Iran began early in the morning, and lasted throughout the night — Close to 20 hours. I could go into great detail, and talk about much that has been gotten but, there is only one thing that matters — IRAN IS UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS! In many ways, the points that were agreed to are better than us continuing our Military Operations to conclusion, but all of those points don’t matter compared to allowing Nuclear Power to be in the hands of such volatile, difficult, unpredictable people. My three Representatives, as all of this time went by, became, not surprisingly, very friendly and respectful of Iran’s Representatives, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi, and Ali Bagheri, but that doesn’t matter because they were very unyielding as to the single most important issue and, as I have always said, right from the beginning, and many years ago, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!
Donald J. Trump"

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has told Fox News that the UK and a number of other nations are set to send minesweepers to aid in securing the Strait of Hormuz, following his announcement that the U.S. will blockade the strait and interdict all vessels that pay a toll to Iran for safe transit.

The USS Frank E. Peterson and USS Michael Murphy are currently dismantling Iran’s blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. By deploying elite mine-clearing forces and underwater drones, President Trump has effectively seized the world's most vital energy chokepoint.
?The Strategic Hammer
?China’s Lifeline: The U.S. now dictates the flow of 50% of China’s oil imports. Beijing’s economy survives only at Washington’s discretion.
?Tehran’s Collapse: Iran’s "explosive" leverage has been neutralized. Their stall tactics are now useless against active U.S. naval dominance.
?Diplomatic Dominance: Trump enters the May 14-15 Beijing Summit with Xi Jinping holding the ultimate high card.
?The result? The China-Iran axis is fractured. No more hostage-taking. No more weak-kneed deals. Trump just put America First at the helm of global energy, and the game has already been won.

Food for thought.
The Art of War in action.
US President Donald Trump says the American Navy will start “the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.” In a social media post, he added: “The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade.” The irony is striking: the US is about to officially blockade the Hormuz Strait.
The President Trump did not go to Islamabad to negotiate; they went to build the record. JD Vance, the administration’s most prominent skeptic of another Middle Eastern war, was deliberately placed in the blast radius of Iranian intransigence. When a man like that emerges from 21 hours of talks and tells the cameras “we have not reached an agreement,” the fantasy that all this could be solved by “just talking” dies on live television.
From that moment, the blockade of Hormuz was not a bolt from the blue but the second act of a script already written. Trump’s order to “BLOCKADE any and all Ships” entering or leaving the strait sits on top of a carefully staged moral foundation: Washington offered a deal on the only point that mattered nuclear restraint and Tehran walked.
In Sun Tzu’s language, the United States first secured the dao, the perception of just cause, before unleashing shih, the concentrated force of the U.S. Navy on the world’s most critical oil chokepoint.
The result is that what looks, to Iran, like a show of resolve is in fact a tightening noose. Tehran boasted that “not a litre of oil” would pass Hormuz and dared the market to price in $200 crude; Trump has answered by building a coalition navy and framing the reopening of the strait as a global public good, not a bilateral quarrel. All warfare, Sun Tzu wrote, is based on deception, and in this campaign, the real theater is not the Gulf but the story: the United States as reluctant enforcer, Iran as documented saboteur, and the blockade as the inevitable, almost administrative consequence of a choice Tehran made on camera.

President Trump sends a DIRECT WARNING to China as reports emerge of possible military support to Iran.
Trump drew a hard line over countries supplying weapons to Tehran, saying there will be immediate and HARSH economic consequences.
BARTIROMO: “You said the other day that any country that supports Iran and sends military equipment to Iran, will face a 50% tariff…did you refer to China?”
TRUMP: “Yes, and other people, but yes, China too.”
“If we find that China…because I hear news reports…about giving the shoulder missiles…but if we catch them doing that, they get a 50% tariff.”
“Which is a staggering, that’s a staggering amount.”

Been battling the Houthis operating out of Yemen since October 2023 and they still creating chaos for commercial shipping.
Yemen's economy is smaller than the state of Vermont so it seems wild that that this Houthi problem rolls on.
