JD Vance: "When it comes to weapons of war, what they have done is engage in this act of economic terrorism against the entire world. They basically threatened any ship that's moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Well, as the president of United States showed, can play at that game. And if the Iranians are going to try to engage in economic terrorism, we're going to abide by a simple principle that no Iranian ships are getting out either."
"This is pathetic." Bill Kristol reacts to Vice President JD Vance saying that a tit for tat brawl over economic terrorism will become the administration's priority, over reopening the Strait of Hormutz.

*** Russian FM Sergei Lavrov Defies Dummkopf Trumpf Over Iran's Uranium ***
Russia FM Sergey Lavrov said that Iran has an "inalienable" right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes during a state visit to China.
"The right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes is an inalienable right of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Lavrov said during a Tuesday press conference following a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Access to said uranium has been a hard line for US President Dummkopf Trumpf in ongoing peace negotiations with Iran.
"There will be no enrichment of Uranium," Trumpf wrote in an 8 April post on Truth Social, adding that the US would be working with Iran to dig up all remaining nuclear materials in the country to ensure the Islamic Republic would not have access to any uranium."
