If this is a Capital V Victory, I’d hate to see an L.
This is a pretty good overview video.

Not sure if this should be here or merits a new thread (or reviving the SDR thread)?

Worrying!
Ah, if you can’t beat them, join them!
He’s going to stop anyone going through the straight that everybody is too scared to go through anyway, because his friends refused to help him get everybody through because it was him that stopped them in the first place. Makes perfect sense!

I was wrong.
It was stop blocking the strait so we can block it instead

Given how important the US has said having the strait open is, and how much they want NATO to make sure it stays open, does this mean we now need to bomb Washington DC…?

If JD Vance was responsible for stopping the IRA during The Troubles, he’d have bombed Manchester and the City of London himself!

So multiple Iranian oil vessels have already travelled through this supposed blockade. And the US wonders why Iran won’t make a deal when it appears that any threat the US makes, they break.
This turns into more of a mess each day!

In the interests of accuracy, the reporting I’ve heard is that none of these ships were travelling to or from Iranian ports or breaching the terms of the US blockade: but at least some did have historic links to Iran.
Two of those ships had visited Iranian ports according to MarineTraffic. Its data shows a bulk carrier, Christianna, crossed the strait on Monday after the blockade began having called at Iran’s Bandar Iman Khomeini, according to ship-tracking data.
Apparently two of the four had recently been in port in Iran
I can’t argue with a primary source. The secondary reporting I’d heard must be incomplete or dated.

I wonder if the UAE has asked for it to be let through? I can’t tell whether that was the original destination or if it’s diverted.
It seems based on some reports that they may have actually now been told to turn around! Having already gone through. But one way or another, they’ve certainly stopped!

And he’s back to threatening to bomb all the bridges and power stations if they wont do a deal but Iran are not going to go back to Pakistan to negotiate!
War beckons again!
