Trump: “Open the Strait yourselves!” Europe: “k” Trump: “No, not like that”
Exactly, the Hormuz Strait is already open… to people who aren’t beligerants like the US.
🤣

Ugh I predict another wave of idiots yelling “Freedom Fries”
but then again, it was fun back then triggering the conservatives by merely calling them french fries. lol
sometimes you got to look at life’s silver linings to keep your sanity going. lol
Never thought of it that way!
Can “Iran fries” be a thing?
Or maybe since fries is already taken, we can rename “chili” to “Irani stew”?
Good, all of Europe needs to tell Trump and the US to fuck off.
No one can wrap (late but somehow still early) opportunism in a rousing speech like macron
Does this mean that Iran haven’t mined the straight? Or did the ship just get lucky?
I don’t think it’s ever been confirmed the strait was mined by Iran. We know China is allowed to pass through without a problem.
Why would Iran mine the strait?
Mines don’t need to be maintained actively, so it would make sense if Iran were about to lose its capacity to sink ships in the strait by other means. As the US said would happen a few weeks ago.
So US media said Iran would or did mine the strait. And sometimes people believe propaganda even if they know better than to trust it.
Right, that was the point I was making there. The only scenario where it would make sense for Iran to mine the strait would be if they couldn’t control it otherwise, and it’s pretty clear they’re in firm control right now.
