Trump: "I ended eight wars, and it may be a little early to say this, but if we add Iran and Lebanon that will be ten wars ended and many many millions of lives saved."
What just happened?
Yesterday, at 8:45 AM ET, Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi announced that the Strait of Hormuz was "completely open" for all commercial vessels.
At 9:06 AM ET, President Trump thanked Iran for reopening the Strait.
Then, at 10:20 AM ET, Trump said Iran and the US were working together to remove all mines from the Strait of Hormuz.
Between 10:40 AM ET and 12:00 PM ET, President Trump said Iran agreed to "never close the Strait again" and to "suspend its nuclear program indefinitely."
Suddenly, at 6:14 PM ET, Iran's Speaker of the Parliament said Trump made "seven claims in one hour, all seven of which were false."
Now, Iran has CLOSED the Strait of Hormuz again and oil tankers are being struck.
What just happened behind the scenes?
Pope Leo has posted a message on X, condemning those who manipulate religion for their own gain "Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."
@IzzyFromUSA@BRICSinfo are u dumb? hormuz opening meaning china can import from the rest of Middle east? lol . China should limit export of rare earth to US
Report: China gave Iran access to satellites to strike US bases
This is not a US/Israel vs. Iran war.
This is an Axis of Evil against Western civilization
@nnamanichi93717@BRICSinfo China would get broken just like Iran. What we are doing to Iran is just practice for China.
Same military style, same weakness.
@unusual_whales US banned export of high end semiconductor to China for the name of national interest? US restricted exports of electronics & aircraft partx to Russia? How come nobody sanctions Israel when Israel & US initiated a war on Iran? hypocrites
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said China had been an unreliable global partner during the Middle East war by hoarding oil supplies and limiting exports of some goods, mirroring its actions with medical goods during the COVID-19 pandemic, per Reuters
