He says other nations will have to guard and police the Strait of Hormuz as necessary, after his attacks on the country prompted Iran to target vessels in the crucial world shipping lane. Mark Stone analyses the Truth Social post.

    Imagine if Iran had allied with ISIS, killed the US President and bombed several US schools, then a couple of weeks later Iran’s leader goes “anyway, we are winding down this war. It is someone else’s problem now.”

    That’s not how war works.

    Retreating. The word he is looking for is ‘retreat’. Also known sometimes as ‘surrender’.

    Even if the US retreats I hope Iran keeps that strait closed and eventually collapses all those gulf pedo-slave states.

    There has to be a price for collaborating with Americans and Israelis. If you want oil and be a US ally then you’ll have to rely on the US to share it’s own oil with you.

        Well closed in the sense that it’s strictly controlled. Iran can rebuild by charging obscene amounts for the pleasure of trading in it’s new lake.

      It would be in Iran’s interest to evict the United States from the gulf permanently; the punishment the Iranians must inflict should be severe enough that the US and Israel never again try to initiate an attack like this.

      Thing is, can Iran understand this? In the past, their reaction against American aggression has been pretty tepid. That been said, the new Ayatollah has basically seen his family be decimated in a couple of weeks, so his response may be different this time around.

    Trump expects the world to go to war with Iran. What will actually happen is that the world will re-establish diplomacy with Iran and offer sanctions relief to end the blockade.

    Without war reparations, American ships will forever be barred from sailing the strait, and Gulf states will likely start distancing themselves from the US and re-assess hosting American bases and troops.

    Trump’s victory looks an awful lot like a strategic defeat that sees the US pull out of the Middle East and leave Iran in a more powerful position then before.

      It also undermines the entire petrodollar/Bretton Woods system that gives the almighty US dollar its power. This will be a big win for China, when countries start trading in their USD for Yuan buy oil.

        Euros

        Don’t see why they’d make an exception for them. Europe in general supported the strikes on Iran.

          Supported “in general”?

          Also Iran hates the US specifically, anything that will hurt them in the long term is a good idea in their book

            Supported “in general”?

            Spain and Ireland have been pretty vocal against the war in Iran, but the rest supported it more or less clearly.

              Finland didn’t, Sweden didn’t. Poland told Donald to pound sand

              I kinda want a source for this “more or less clearly”

    Hey, if he pulls the military back out from the Middle East, he can take credit for ending another war that he obviously won single-handedly. Plus he can get another Nobel Prize…

    Look at that, Trump is about to end another war. That’s another FIFA peace prize right there.
