Trump praised Iran yesterday for letting ships pass through the strait. Here’s your result.
Yesterday, I commented Trump Announces “Project Freedom” to Guide Ships Through the Strait
In a Truth Social post, Trump stated “This is a Humanitarian gesture on behalf of the United States, Middle Eastern Countries but, in particular, the Country of Iran. … If, in any way, this Humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Any American interference in the new maritime regime of the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf would not be managed by Trump’s delusional posts! No one would believe Blame Game scenarios!
Today we see the result of Trump’s repeat blatant lies.
The Wall Street Journal reports Attacks Strike U.A.E., Ships as Fighting Escalates in Mideast
Fighting in the Iran war flared, as strikes on a crucial United Arab Emirates oil port and several ships amid Iranian threats tested a shaky cease-fire. Iran fired cruise missiles and other projectiles at U.S. warships and commercial vessels as the U.S. launched an effort to help vessels transit the Strait of Hormuz, according to Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command. Sailors reported witnessing a drone strike on a tanker and military jets buzzing overhead.
The U.A.E., which has backed tougher action against Iran, sounded alerts for the first time since early April, saying it was targeted by four missiles and a number of drones. It confirmed a drone hit sparked a fire at the crucial oil hub of Fujairah, which the country has used to pump much of its petroleum output around Iran’s chokehold on the strait.
The skirmishing came hours after President Trump announced a new initiative to get ships through the strait.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps defied the initiative, saying ships going through without its permission face serious risks.
Iran is a much more reliable source of information than Trump.
It’s unclear what Trump expected to gain by these lies. Last night the oil futures said all you need to know.
I commented “The oil markets don’t think much of this maneuver, and neither do I.”
I am certain that JaguarAnalytics speaks for all of us with this pertinent thought:
“Mr. President. The US 10-year bond yield is breaking out through 4.4%. Please keep fighting your holy war to make sure Americans can’t afford anything. Thank you!”
But hey, Robin Brooks declared victory along with Trump.
Iran not only disagrees with that nonsense, Today, it attacked militarily.
Oh, that’s OK because it’s just a matter of days, or weeks, or months, before we declare victory for the 9th time.
Q: Why?A: We need to prevent Iran from wanting to build a bomb
Q: What?A: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in Congress that the US has totally destroyed Iran capability to build a bomb. When pressed on what the war was about, he said Iran wants to build a bomb.
I don’t know about you, but is that convincing or what? I am sure blowing them up will make them less likely to want to build a bomb. This is prime 5D thinking at its finest.
And we know it will work because such maneuvers have a 100 percent success rate. Wait? What?
Well no matter, I have it on good authority that we are doing more damage to Iran than they are doing to us. This we call winning.
Meanwhile, today I note that the price of regular gasoline is $4.457 only 55.91 cents from a new record high.
If this isn’t a clear path to victory, what is?
