This is all a rich mans ploy to make them richer.

This is the tactic that they employed over the past 50 years to inflate the cost of oil artificially with a fear Factor baked in.

I’ve seen conflicts that started off with lots of reciprocal smack talk and eventually evolved into intense military action.

Not sure I recall seeing one that kicked off with intense military action and ….eventually evolved into prolonged reciprocal smack talk.

This is shaping up to be perhaps the strangest conflict in Earth’s long history of conflicts.

They feel confident they can wait things out until 2029 when there’s a new President

I say we quietly keep the sanctions and the blockade in place and just wait. Trump needs to stop posting to social media about it and/or any deals and just quietly let it happen in the background while Iran suffers. Stop trying to negotiate an opening to the Strait and just slowly choke the financial life out of the Regime.


Agree

I saw that the USA is in control of it, so does our media aggregate Iran propaganda?

Just for that, Trump might end the war and go home if Iran is going to treat the USA so unfairly.

Kinda screwed up there

This is Iran's best strategy - hold out and fight to the death.

We are and we aren't basically. We control what goes in and out of the strait so in that sense we are. However Iran can also still strike ships transmitting the Strait and because of that is making insurance on ships so high that they aren't going through the Strait. In that sense they also somewhat control the Strait.

Yep.

Notice removing sanctions is always top of the list, they mean their own personal money that has been frozen as well as the country's cash.

They are done financially. Even the military and IRGC front lines are missing pay, thats when you know it is really really bad.

We are blocking over 80% of oil coming out and 80% of imports.
