Regardless of what the United States "needs" control of the Strait of Hormuz is impossible for them. There will be no worldwide blockade of China. Five weeks of Hormuz being closed was enough for all its European and Asian vassals to basically ignore commands from the United States, some of them reopening direct diplomatic contact with a state sanctioned by the United States and paying them money. What do you think will happen if the United States attempts to "blockade" not the place where ~20% of all energy flows come from, but 50% of all the industrial capacity on Earth? And close to 100% of all the capacity for electric cars and solar panels? It's not feasible, regardless of what USAmerican delusions they're able to cook up.
The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers - No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!! Thank you! President DJT

"Enough is enough!!!" JDPON Don gets the goods again. Remains to be seen if Israel will actually follow that, and if Trump will do anything when they do bomb Beirut like tomorrow or whatever (probably not).

This is not actually true. So this ship was headed from the UAE out to sea, passed Hormuz, but has since turned around and headed back towards Hormuz, presumably after a warning from the US blockade. A lot of confusion, but it appears the US blockade is around the Gulf of Oman, past Hormuz.
European countries are putting together a plan for a coalition of countries to help free up shipping through the Strait of Hormuz after the conflict, including sending mine - clearing and other military vessels, the Wall Street Journal reported. French president Emmanuel Macron said the plan is for an international defensive mission that doesn’t include the “belligerent” parties which sources said could include the US, Israel and Iran.
The key word here is "plan." It's definitely going to be the same thing that the EU has been saying for the past five weeks, which is that after the conflict they will be more than happy to "help" with freedom of navigation and mine-clearing. If, in the final deal of how this mess ends, Iran gets to continue just having a toll, they'll protect that. It's a nothing statement, a vague "plan" to pretend that they are "ready to contribute" for Trump's NATO ramblings or whatever. They are not gonna do a thing.
after we’re finished with this
Buddy, you're never gonna be "finished" with Iran
I was told it was gonna open itself actually.
Trump: "You want to see a stock market go down? Let a couple nuclear bombs be dropped on us or frankly any place else, and then you'll see a stock market that goes down. So the stock market has not gone very much at all. It's gone down a little bit. Much less than I thought. And frankly the gas hasn't gone up as much as I thought."

It's ok, the Pope is building a Gundam deep inside the Vatican Archives
Wall Street Journal: Officials: Trump is considering launching limited strikes on Iran after the collapse of the Islamabad talks.
What the fuck are «limited strikes» in this context??? Why woulf they be «limited»? Are the Americans really so stupid as to believe that a «limited» strike on anything in Iran after five weeks of war would be met with only a «limited» strike by Iran? These kinds of bluffs don't work anymore. You can't lathe your way into a «limited» war anymore, buddy.

Also, according to CENTCOM they are going to target all ships entering or leaving Iranian ports, but ships transiting the strait not from Iranian ports are fine. So does that mean ships paying the toll to Iran are not being blockaded? They don't make calls at Iranian ports, they just sail close to one for visual inspection. The toll paying is all virtual. This "blockade" seems very poorly thought out, because there are no ships transiting the strait without Iranian approval.

Yeah I think he means the buried enriched uranium. I don't think he knows what uranium is, just the N word. Trump is, to put it mildly, not "intellectual."
