The US Coast Guard is crazy good.

Iran: "We gonna close the strait, but allow ships that pay us to go thorough"

US (After talks fail): "We're going to blockade the strait and nothing is getting through. Then we are going to collect up any mines and reopen the strait under our control. Nothing for Iran will be allowed in our out. And you mofos that paid Iran a bribe to get trough the strait are going to be stopped by the US Navy. Oh. And if Iran attacks any ships that are in the strait, we will blow the hell out of them."

US: "Send your empty tankers to the Gulf of America and fill up on Oil and Gas. We have plenty". /hundreds head to the gulf...

Iran does not have authority over international waters. The US does not have the authority to "grant" Iran any powers over the international strait (even in we wanted too!)

If Iran's demand to control the strait is true, then they are not serious in these talks.

Going into Saturday, I hope this isnt a cluster frick by the Iranians thinking they have a bigger stick than the US.

I fully think that if they try any frickery that Vance and team will get up and walk away...Then the bombs start dropping.

This ceasefire is shaky.

Iran is threatening to not attend the talks on Saturday unless Israel stops killing terrorists in Lebanon

Iran claims to have mines in the strait. Seems like they should be picking those up if the strait is supposed to be fully open.

Why should any ships need to coordinate with Iran to traverse the strait if it is freely open? They do not own the strait.

Ships should just go through the strait. If one is hit or damaged it is fully on Iran. Not sure if they really want that.

Thats the way I read it. As you know, I like satire. :)

Do you know what SATIRE is?

Vice President JD Vance will lead a U.S. delegation to Islamabad, Pakistan, on Saturday, April 11, 2026, for in-person peace talks with Iranian counterparts. The negotiations, aimed at a lasting agreement following a ceasefire, will include special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

When: Saturday morning, local time in Islamabad.

Where: Islamabad, Pakistan.

Goal: Direct negotiations with Iran to secure a peace agreement.

Key Personnel: VP JD Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner.
Context: These talks follow a temporary ceasefire deal and aim to resolve tensions regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

This meeting represents the highest-level direct contact between the U.S. and Iran in the current, ongoing, fast-moving situation.

Face to Face and direct meetings are the best way to get to the bottom of all of this. I really hope this shaky ceasefire can hold until we get to have those talks.

We have achieved our military objectives and now its time to see what we can get done.

US Leverage - We have the military might to take out anything and everything in Iran and decimate them at will. Leaders are hunted and eliminated and their military and supply chain has been hit hard.

Iran Leverage - They have learned that they can paralyze the free flow of ships in the Strait of Hormuz will the simple threat of a few drones or missiles.

Wild Cards - Israel action in Lebanon and other Arab states getting pissed off at being attacked by Iran and retaliating back at them.

This ceasefire seems like its on shaky ground.

The problem is that the leadership in Iran is disjointed. The left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing. One agrees to a ceasefire and the other launches missiles and drones like they didnt get the message.

The news media is making things more complicated with reporting on fake news.

Lots of confusion.

According to Press Sec Leavitt, the Iran News Media is false and that Trump expects the Strait to be fully open. Anything less is unacceptable.
