Strait of Hormuz Remains Blocked

The U.S. Navy's blockade continued to intercept ships trying to leave or enter Iranian ports, while fear of Iranian attacks kept other ships from attempting passage through the narrows.

I though Iran had been destroyed months ago?

That war, err, excursion is over.

This is a different war, err, excursion.

You gotta try and keep up man.

"Excursion" is so last week.

Lately it has been a skirmish.

And Pres Trump still seems to be desperately seeking an off-ramp.

After so many claims like "I will end inflation on Day One" or "I will release my tax returns" or Trump phones or anything else, we've learned to never take him at his word.

The non-gullible, that is.

Probably Trump needs to make some more wild eyed insane threats; That strategy seems to be working so well! I wonder if one of the cards is the Straight of Hormuz? He doesn't seem to hold that one and it seems to be the most important card.

Seeing the cope with Trump supporters on X is pretty wild. They've been saying the Strait has reopened and oil prices are plummeting every single day since the beginning of March. Imagine being so dim-witted that'll you'll believe the same lies every day.

The Strait of Hormuz is as open as Old Yeller's Sharpie can make it.
