….also known as the Strait of Hormuz, is almost exactly the profit margin for a tanker making this voyage. So obviously nobody is going to make the voyage, nor is it even clear who they would pay. Ship insurance is often secured by voyage and no new insurance is being written. More proof nothing is happening. All this despite Iran’s undertaking to open the Strait during the cease fire.


These are the people that the Woke World wants to move by negotiation.

The reason traffic isn't moving through the Straits is because Israel is still bombing Lebanon.


Iran is saying Lebanon was part of the ceasefire deal and Bozo is saying it wasn't.

Trump accepted the peace plan provided by Iran. He said it was a workable solution.

Iran had specified that they will use tolls instead of reparations to rebuild the damage caused by America.


They are not the only country to apply tolls. I dont agree with them doing this, but I also don't agree with them being bombed or having their very existence threatened by Make America Great Again.

What is the OP about? Iran never made a mystery that will put a toll fee. It was reported days ago on this board, (projection: 80bn dollars) and that is border control just as Egypt does.


Still no freedom of speech exerted in this thread:

Was Saudi and UAE part of the ‘deal’, because they were attacked by Iran after the Cease Fire started? Has Hezbollah agreed to no longer attack Israel?


Opening Hormuz was a specific agreement…and it’s a policy agreement, not part of the confusion of war which Iran could argue in its Saudi and UAE strikes. Not opening Hormuz blows up the whole Ceasefire Fire undertaking.

Turkey charges a fee, albeit a much smaller one.

Yes, the toll is ridiculous - but Trump agreed to the Iranian peace offer -he said it was an acceptable framework to agree on the final peace agreement.

Iran have nuclear sites underground, spread out across the country. They are working on a nuclear bomb right now.


If they were to use a Nuke, The WhiteHouse and Mara Lago are the places they would mostly likely hit.


Apparently the new leaders wife and kids were killed (along with his father)- and he is apparently disfigured. He is going to be one angry Arab that wants revenge.


America can play games now, but they have crossed the line now. They have opened a can of worms, and this has created problems for future generations. Just like Netenyahu.

Trump wants the Nobel Medal of Peace, he claims he ended 8 wars.

Any of the ones that he actually had involvement with, are very fragile peace agreements that end very quickly.

No one thinks that's possible through say an air campaign alone. There would have to be a ground invasion force to take over and occupy Iran.


Iran has a population of over 90 million. It's 4 times the size of Iraq. It's terrain is highly mountainous consider ideal terrain for a defending force.


Any such invasion would require hundreds of thousands of troops at a minimum. Building up a such a force would take time, several months at least. Will the Straights remain closed for all that time?


So then this forces invades, we have potential thousands of the invading force taking causalities. Tens to hundreds of thousands of Iranian military and IRGC possible needing to be killed. A similar number of civilians possible killed in the crossfire.


Then how will the conflict last for and long does such an invasion force need to stay afters. Who's going to pay for it? How long will it take to at least re-open the straights of Hormuz. What happens if Iran hits the water salination plants of it's Gulf neighbours forcing an unprecedented mass evacuation of tens of millions of Arabs/Muslims from the Guld and the complete collapse of the oil economies of those countries along in addition to the severe constraints it would put on the supply of fertilizer resulting in potential famines and mass starvations around the world? Is the US going to take in all these refugees?
