When they say this, they mean that they have a new AI movie they want to vomit out onto the internet.
Reminds me of Hitler boasting about "Wonder Weapons" as the Russians closed in on Berlin.

That was ahead of its time. The V1 wasn't bad, either.

Re: “UK leading coalition of more than 40 nations to reopen Hormuz.”
Are they leading the coalition with a kayak?

The dots that only a few seem to connect is that the Venezuela+Iran double tap was a headshot aimed at China, who's saying goodbye to cheap oil.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz thinking it was holding the West hostage. But in reality, 90 percent of the oil that flows through that strait goes east, and almost half of that goes to China in heavily subsidized product.
Iran was not holding a gun to America's head. Iran was holding a gun to China's gas tank and screaming "LOOK HOW POWERFUL I AM YA FILTHY INFIDEL!!" at Washington.
Because frick logic I guess
So what happened next was predictable to everyone except, apparently, the IRGC.
Saudi Arabia said "Fine, I'll do this myself" and cranked its pipeline to the Red Sea to nearly seven million barrels a day. The UAE expanded its pipeline to the Gulf of Oman. Nature is healing.
American crude exports hit a record 4.9 million barrels a day in April alone. Right now, 121 empty tankers turned around and sailed to the United States to load up on American oil because... it turns out there's an obscene amount of American oil.
Iran's one big card, the only economic leverage it had left, just forced every customer on earth to build a permanent detour around Iran. That's like barricading yourself inside the only bridge in town and then watching the city build four new bridges while you sit there starving.
The regime traded decades of chokepoint relevance for a few weeks of headlines and a negotiating position that got worse every single day. Their oil revenue collapsed. Bypass infrastructure is going up. And the Asian buyers who used to depend on the Strait are locking in American and Russian and African supply chains that will never route back through Hormuz.
A broken Iran means China has to buy American, and any plans to pose a threat to Taiwan were put on indefinite hold.
The Iranian regime keeps doubling down on this nonsense. Because what else can they do?

They were OK when Iran shut it down, but when the US starts to patrol it and keep it open for everyone except Iranian tanker traffic, that's where they draw the line.

Close, they will have to release the coracles

Seems like they have made this statement all day since the blockade started. Either they are full of shite or don't have any more capabilities to do it.

The whole point of the bombing was to be able to bring in ships and control the strait. Nobody in the world has the Navy to challenge right now. Sure as hell not Britain, France, or any of those idiots in Western Europe. The US will enforce that ships can transit the strait. They will also keep them from docking in Iran. In the meantime, we should just occupy Kharg until the Iranian regime capitulates

Iran hasn’t done shite, like they said they would. Currently their bluff is being called.
