Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz Friday instead of heading to Switzerland for nuclear negotiations, citing Israel’s refusal to pull forces out of southern Lebanon and US forces’ ongoing presence in the region.
In a statement read over maritime radio channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US was in violation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, which President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed Wednesday.
“Since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until these conditions are met,” it said. “All ships are requested, for the sake of their security and safety, not to approach the Strait of Hormuz. Any vessel that defies this directive will be targeted.”
Watching this every day is like watching two narcissists with autism arguing.
How so?
Iranian, Israeli, and US leadership are all self absorbed authoritarians who care more about looking powerful and could give fuck all about the ppl they supposedly govern
At least Iran is trying to save millions of people from being bombed to shit.
So it can cover, cane, and oppress them.
There are no good guys here. Mommy and Daddy are fighting to see who gets to fiddle the kids.
I was referring to Gaza and Lebanon.
Iran only cares about those because they know if they let Gaza and Lebanon fall to Israel unopposed, Iran is next. It’s complete self interest.
There is no “Iran is next.” Pretty sure Isreal and the US just tried to beat Iran into submission and failed. Iran’s time came and they survived.
Iran could easily turn it’s back on Lebanon and survive, just as the rest of the world has. But unlike the rest of the world it’s actually using the leverage it has to stop a massive genocide.
No one is saying Iran is a wonderful country with leaders that belive in peace and equality for their people but the blood on the US and Isreal hands flows further than Irans.
