@oz61800 @annmarie They could just stop ships that pay the toll from transiting the Strait

@annmarie Toll is at Qeshm. Yanks can try taking it.

Vessels wanting to transit the Strait of Hormuz need to be from friendly countries, and some have to pay fees in Chinese currency or crypto before being escorted through the strait. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@edh789 @TheStalwart What?

@eteekswe @TheStalwart What was the Jill?

Big recovery in the market

@JasonMBrodsky @POTUS @SecRubio You wanted this, man

It's always important to distinguish between the people of #Iran, who have a proud and rich history, and their oppressors, the Islamic Republic. @POTUS and @SecRubio have done this in the past, and they should continue to make that distinction clear.

@tonygabagool26 @effekirem @st_louis_stan Talking about “we” when you’re just some fat retard with a double digit IQ and a triple digit income

@effekirem @st_louis_stan Third worlder. You can go live in a mud hut while we do great things

Caring about space travel is the single strongest litmus test for whether you're Spiritually White or Spiritually Third-World

@discountmage @esjesjesj Conservatives trying to conceal their trans fetish

@esjesjesj Sure, it’s funny, but you and your fans still can’t distinguish a woman from a man.

It’s so funny watching these guys deal with the audience they created

@GasBuddyGuy I don’t think lawmakers have much of a say over the status of the SoH lol. Unless you’re talking about Iranian lawmakers. But probably still no.

let me be clear: the clock is ticking. lawmakers have a narrow window to reverse course and fully restore the Strait. If that doesn’t happen soon, Americans will start changing their summer travel plans- and they will NOT forget why when they head to the polls in November.

@69Ryxn @FaytuksNetwork Again I don’t think these things are necessarily incompatible with each other

@FaytuksNetwork Politico: Trump is going to wrap up the war Reuters: Trump is going to declare victory Fox: Trump is going to announce boots on the ground I unfortunately believe the Fox report since they have close ties to the Trump admin

@Dmg_Cntrl Why not both?

Personally I find it more likely than doubling down and sending boots on the ground right now. We'll see.

Folks I'm starting to think they're rolling out the Mission Accomplished banner for Trump's speech today...

@tsxrunner @Rory_Johnston 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@eteekswe @Rory_Johnston Serve over rice while saying “we’re winning” as the kitchen oil catches fire 🔥

This is exactly what my base case unilateral TACO scenario looks like, fwiw. WSJ: “President Trump told aides he's willing to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, administration officials said, likely extending Tehran's firm grip on the waterway and leaving a complex operation to reopen it for a later date.”

@gbrew24 The amount of attention being given to this story is embarrassing

Reason why WSJ headline about Trump giving up on Hormuz is bullish for prices: 1) in the short-term, Hormuz isnt reopening 2) once the war ends, US still likely won't care enough to work hard to open it and keep it open. Carter Doctrine is done. That's bullish.

@tsxrunner @Rory_Johnston Now give me a recipe for shrimp étouffée

@eteekswe @Rory_Johnston Jan 28, 2024 — Tower 22 : 3 U.S. soldiers killed, 40+ injured. The U.S. launched major retaliatory airstrikes (Feb 2, 2024) against Iran-backed militia targets in Iraq and Syria, hitting command centers, weapons depots, and drone infrastructure tied to Hezbollah.

@BotNumber323231 @methlakecity @lead_lined_box @MaxAbrahms Gonna fly ISR aircraft over Isfahan until the end of time?

More evidence for Robert Pape of how Iran is gaining power.

@tsxrunner @Rory_Johnston Quickly which one of those attacks resulted in US fatalities and what was the ensuing response?

@eteekswe @Rory_Johnston Mar 2024—Al Tanf Garrison (Syria)—drones; Jun 14, 2025—Kharab al Jir (Syria)—rockets; Jun 15, 2025—Shaddadi (Syria)—rockets; Jun 18, 2025—Rumalyn LZ (Syria)—rockets; Feb 28, 2026—Erbil Airport (Iraq)—missiles;

@methlakecity @lead_lined_box @MaxAbrahms Yeah we’ll just forget about the half ton of highly-enriched uranium and the regime with all the incentive to race towards the bomb

@lead_lined_box @MaxAbrahms I mean even if we just left right now we have massively destroyed their government, military etc. I’d consider a success

@RLHeinrichs @biancoresearch @JoshKraushaar Are you saying this because it’s true or because you want it to be true?

@biancoresearch @JoshKraushaar Bessent said- today- that we will reclaim the Strait. Seems more indicative of official admin policy.

This would be an economic disaster.

@Rory_Johnston It’s startling that the concept of wars being two-sided is apparently lost on people

@Rory_Johnston And when Iran continues to fire missiles and drones at US bases then what? They’re just gonna eat them and not strike back?

@Rory_Johnston There is no unilateral eject lever how do you not understand that lol

Good Q: No, we’re still a ways from over.  I just think this is what the end will most likely look like, so I thought it was interesting when the WSJ quotes came across. I think it’ll still take more of a market reaction for Trump to finally pull the unilateral eject lever.

@APHClarkson Tbf I think we know

To speculate the details about a negotiated agreement between the US and Iran before we even know whether it is anything other than a figment of Trump's fevered imagination is journalistic malpractice
