The United States has announced a naval blockade of Iran.

The United States is beginning a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social.

"Starting immediately, the United States Navy, the finest in the world, will begin the process of BLOCKADE of any vessel attempting to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz," the White House tweeted.

The US President confirmed that negotiators in Islamabad had failed to reach an agreement: "The meeting went well, most issues were agreed upon. But one, the most important issue, the nuclear issue, remains unresolved," the US President stated.

According to him, Iran's placement of naval mines in the Strait and its unwillingness to clear them constitute blackmail that the US will not tolerate.

"The blockade will begin soon. Other countries will join." "Iran will not be allowed to profit from extortion," Trump declared, reiterating that the US had begun clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz.

"They (Iran) want money, and more importantly, they want nuclear weapons. Furthermore, when the time comes, we will be fully prepared to fight, and our military will finish off what little remains of Iran!" the US President tweeted.

Trump also announced that the US Navy would begin destroying mines laid by Iran in the strait. "Any Iranian who fires on us or on civilian vessels will be destroyed!" writes the Azerbaijani newspaper Haqqin az.

It's also directly piracy. Stopping and then boarding 3rd party neutral ships who are not related to the conflict at hand is piracy.

From where I stand, there are not much rivalries left in the region. There are only Israel, Iran and Turkey left. When Iran out of the picture, there will only be Turkey and Israel. And we all know for a fact that Israel working really hard to paint a bull’s eye on Turkey and calling everyone to focus on this new “Islamic threat”! Israel picking you up as the “next one”, that really is a trouble.
Do you not count the Arabs as rivals ?

So a country without an Airforce or a Navy psychologicly economicly defeated the worlds nr 1 superpower by calling the dumbest bluff of history?
Are there any counties left taking this US serious?

Which Arabs?
Did you mean the scared quiet GCC Arabs who cant even defend their own territories despite have the most modern weapons in their arsenal?
But, these same Arabs are always used by major powers. They're an entity we need to be aware of.
I don't trust any of them.
Sure, on their own they're nothing, but they're great tools by other players which we cannot deny.

US Navy to start 'blockading any and all ships' trying to enter or leave Strait of Hormuz, says Trump

1776003956009.jpeg


US President Donald Trump says that the US is going to start "BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz".

In a lengthy new post on Truth Social, he says that "the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not".

He says that "at some point" an agreement on free passage will be reached, but "Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, 'There may be a mine out there somewhere,' that nobody knows about but them."

In the same post Trump also says that he's "instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran", and that the US Navy is going to start " destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits".

"No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas," he says, adding "any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!"

"The Blockade will begin shortly," he says.

I haven't witnessed a bigger Zionist stooge than Trump. This dude is willing to sacrifice his country for Israel. Such a subservient subject.

No man,thats where you are wrong.
Its all about money and power with Trump,nothing else.
And he wants a Nobel peace prize which means he wants to be liked be famous be god exactly.
Some Christians even see him as the messiah.
That should cover all what Trump wants.

1. Israel wants all gulf oil and gas to flow through their land via pipelines to Cyprus and Greece to the rest of Europe bypassing Türkiye.That is why BlackRock president visited RTE.
2. US wants Iran oil to stop flowing. Who buys most of it? China. China's second largest oil supplier was Venezüella.
3. Türkiye and Qatar want the oil and gas to come via Saudi, Jordan and Syria to Türkiye.

We will see who will win this war of oil in the days to come.

Absolutely Russia.
In fact, Venezuela is not the second largest oil supplier of China, it has the world's second-largest oil reserves.

The United States is rapidly losing its allies, and not just in the region. At this rate, by the end of Trump's presidency, America will have only one ally left in the entire world: Israel. Tel Aviv has already proposed to Washington that it move all American military bases from Arab countries to Israel.
In my opinion, the trend is such that the United States will have to leave the Middle East. For America, this is simply a loss of influence, but for Israel, it is very dangerous.
Do the Israelis understand this? Of course they do. But the people in power there now are radicals, religious radicals at that, just like in Iran.
Is it really so difficult to understand that, while in conflict with all neighboring Arab countries, it is unreasonable to fight a non-Arab country located 1,000 kilometers away—for example, Iran? 🙄 It's impossible! Even with the most powerful country in the world as an ally, which is located 10,000 kilometers from the theater of operations. But these guys have gone so far in their madness that they're even threatening Türkiye.🙄
This, of course, is dangerous, first and foremost for Israel itself.

But Trump can wander around the region a little longer, and when he gets tired of it all, he'll retreat beyond his beautiful ocean.
And then what?🙄🙄🙄

Financial gain, definitely. Will that gain contribute to Russia’s war effort? Absolutely.
But strategic control of flow of oil still not really determined tbh.

There's no pipeline project on horizon to revert all gulf oil via pipelines; it's impossible as well.

You are right. I should have said . Biggest buyers of Venezuela’s oil.
Between 2000 and 2010 largest buyer was USA with China being second.
Between 2010 and 2023 largest buyer by far was China.
Check out the 2023 Chinese portion of purchase.

At the moment there is no such physical project. But there is the will and a project in the hands of Qataris and Turks.
Discussions to revive the long-stalled Qatar-Turkey gas pipeline project have resurfaced following significant political shifts in the region, particularly after the fall of the Assad regime in Syria.
Before Syrian war, it was the main project of Turkish and Qatari sides. But the war in Syria put the brakes on it. (It is rumoured that Saudis and UAE were against this project at the time)

Recently Turkiye, Qatar and Jordan have been meeting to bring the project back in to life.

Nothing is impossible if there is a will.
