The US president is praising Allah and Iran is defending the Pope, welcome to 2026
Masoud Pezeshkian@drpezeshkian
His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

@JackPosobiec Yes, the US is the world's most brutal military empire and its claws are round the throat of global energy supplies.

@LeberPuhl @WallStreetMav I guess that's for them to decide.

@SpecificIntelQ @WallStreetMav So should all countries pay a toll to UAE, Oman, and Hormuz? A third each? Or should UAE get more ?
English
The Strait of Singapore is even more critical than the Strait of Hormuz.
1/3 of all global trade has to go through the narrowest point (2 nautical miles) of the Strait of Singapore.
Singapore's Foreign Minister makes a good point that they cannot allow Iran to charge tolls when other critical chokepoints of global trade allow free passage.
Eric 𝕏@WorldStrategist
Singapore’s Foreign Minister on why he cannot accept negotiating with Iran for safe passage of ships. Definitely worth listening to:

Two questions for the Tump administration.
1. Are you prepared to use force to stop a Chinese or Russian vessel from visiting an Iranian port?
2. If it was a good "jujistu" move last month to un-sanction Iranian oil, why it is a good idea now to blockade it?
English
@davidwcpf @c20let95 @HarmlessHQ Who says they're using dollars? They've been using Yuan and bitcoin. The question is how much damage can the US economy take (and yes rising oil prices will wreck the US economy which is completely dependent on diesel) vs how much can Iran take.
English
@SpecificIntelQ @c20let95 @HarmlessHQ It’s a finite amount. And Iran selling oil at market value using petrodollars is a goal. Depriving China and Russia of cheap, black market oil.
English
Iran never expected this move from Trump.
They actually had three expectations from Trump.
1. Agree to some of Iran's deals and beg them to open the Strait of Hormuz.
2. Wait till the ceasefire elapses and continue striking.
3. Cede control of the Strait to Iran.
And Trump threw them totally off balance by resolving to join them in the blockade.
Their PhD holders didn't predict this also. 😂
English
@LeberPuhl @WallStreetMav That's exactly what happened since the US has been boarding ships all over the world, kidnapping leaders, invading countries and doing their own blockades like Cuba. So now there is no diplomacy and there is no international law.
English
@SpecificIntelQ @WallStreetMav So UAE should also mine the Iranian side of Hormuz and charge tolls, since Iran attacked the UAE? Back to Barbary Coast piracy ?

🚨 NOW: Neutral vessels at Iranian ports have a "LIMITED GRACE PERIOD" to depart the Strait of Hormuz as the US-led blockade commences
Iran is about to be CUT OFF from selling oil!
They should've listened to JD Vance in Pakistan.

Is anyone else struck by the way in which Israel's nuclear weapons, which we all know to exist, are implictly deemed not to be capable of deterring Iran, should Iran obtain nuclear weapons of its own? So, er.......

@EssexPR Iran had already offered this at the talks in Oman. The next day Israel and the US began slaughtering Iranian leaders and civilians.

1 month ago, I outlined how boots on the ground on Kharg Island were unnecessary and maritime interdiction would be a more effective strategy than expanding the war
Real America's Voice (RAV)@RealAmVoice
MEDIA SAYING BOOTS ON THE GROUND OR DESTROY OIL INFRASTRUCTURE: OTHER OPTIONS @JackPosobiec explains why the media and others want to see boots on the ground and those are NOT the only TWO OPTIONS. "There are a couple of options...on his [@POTUS] desk today..."
English
Wrong. Iran is not allowed to enrich uranium to military grade levels.
Iran also funds many terror organizations and conducts illicit sales of narcotics, arms and human trafficking from South America to Africa.
Dan Kervick@DanMKervick
Iran is allowed to enrich uranium under international law. Iran is allowed to have a peaceful nuclear energy program under international law. The United States is a dangerous outlaw nation running an outlaw regime. Other nations have a duty to enforce international law.

@joe_darko You are living a long time in the past. Hypersonic anti-ship missiles will cut through the US fleet like butter. And they're almost out of air defence anyway.
English
In open sea, no one is competing with the US. The US would gladly welcome any country and their warships to challenge them in the open sea.
Dr. Jeffrey Lewis@ArmsControlWonk
So, let’s game this out. A Chinese flagged tanker pays the toll and transits the strait. We interdict it? What if the tanker is escorted by a Chinese warship?
English
@kuxan_ @amlivemon Because the US is almost out of long range strike and anti-air missiles and it was just demonstrated to the world that the US cannot prevent drone and missile strikes on its infrastructure from Iran, let alone the Chinese navy.
English
@amlivemon Even the thought of China stepping up to the US is kind of absurd. They haven't done so in regards to sanctions on Russia, what makes him so confident they'd do this for Iran?
English
“Scholar of global security” doesn’t know that the Chinese navy doesn’t have this capability 😂

@ELNVdc @macastel3 No, the US Navy is not currently clearing mines in the Strait. They sailed two destroyers in and the Iranians told them to turn around or they'd be sunk, so they did.
English
The US Navy is currently clearing mines in the Strait. The goal is to clear a transit route for non-sanctioned shipping. Iranian ships will be blockaded the way the US Navy has done it for decades--warn, board, disable. We have VBSS teams who are specially trained to do the boarding. The current guiding document is NWP 1-14M signed by Biden in March 2022.
We have been doing this for sanctioned Russian shipping for several months with no US casualties.
English
if you want to counter block the Strait of Hormuz, you need to cross the line of legality and sink at least one ship
US Navy must now sink a private container ship or oil tanker to de facto block the passage and be credible
Iran did it, they sank a few ships to prove it
English
@amlivemon The US imports 6 mbpd of heavy oil, which it needs to make diesel. This is mostly from Canada, but tankers will go to whoever is paying the highest price.
English
Lol US doesn’t import oil from the Middle East much at all, it’s like 5% or less.
Clown.
Nostra, House of Gold@Nostre_damus
Oil shortages hit the U.S. on Wednesday as the last tanker from the ME arrives Buckle up
English
@TFL1728 You must have missed the part where Iran kept blowing up ships which were trying to transit against their wishes.
English
The script, it has been flipped.
For a month all we heard was all Iran has to do is blow up one tanker and no ships sail.
One dood with a missile in a cave …
One fast attack boat…
One drone…
One
But people who can think farther out than where they are going to buy their next energy drink so they can stay up all night drunk tweeting realized immediately that Iran had one chance to move on the Strait…
And it was taken away from them on day 1 of the war. No air defense equaled no Iranian strategy to enforce the blockade and act like pirates, which is what they are.
Yes, to be pedantic, the A10 Warthog says, “Hi!!!”
So something else was at play. A larger play for a bigger prize. London’s extortion racket centered around insurance, legal, clearing services which taxed global commerce getting us coming and going
Iran the pirates paired with the extortionists in London were the perfect pair. Everyone else in the Gulf was complicit because they all got paid to be a part of the grift.
Trump blew it up and normal people have been so gaslit by these morons that he’s the bad guy. He has to be for them, otherwise the past decade of their miserable grifting lives has been a lie.
Fine, I get it, Kubler-Ross and all that, but it also means that those in the middle, the targets of the gaslighting, those who have paid the extortion fees for their entire lives, should now realize who they should listen to going forward.
Look up people. Trump literally executed the ultimate reversal. And in doing so is in the process of rebuilding the entire global trade architecture
America! Fuck yeah!
Clandestine@WarClandestine
Many don’t seem to understand this “blockade”. Trump is NOT blocking the entire strait. The only ships being blocked are ships attempting to leave/enter Iranian ports, namely oil exports. All other commercial ships will be free to pass. Trump is squeezing Iran, and simultaneously forcing the world to buy oil from us, while also securing the strait for safe passage for other commercial vessels traveling to/from other nations in the Arabian Gulf, like UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc. This is all around an excellent move, which is exactly why the usual suspects are so upset about it.
English
.@POTUS just created massive new demand for U.S. oil at a time when global prices are already skyrocketing.
The blockade taking effect today will further disrupt China’s supply lines, driving even more demand toward American energy markets.
China needs the Strait of Hormuz far more than we do.
A brilliant strategic masterstroke by President Trump.
Dan Gambardello@dangambardello
This is the Gulf of America, packed with supertankers racing to load up on US oil. Record exports. Global energy demand is shifting directly to 🇺🇸 Economic boom incoming. Paying attention…
English
@c20let95 @HarmlessHQ I think you misunderstood. They have already exported 160m to 184m and have it sitting on tankers outside the gulf which they can keep selling at today's high prices, despite any US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
English
@SpecificIntelQ @HarmlessHQ Iran is an oil producer and they don't need to maintain crude reserves for domestic market. Blockade will deprive Iran of oil export revenue which is 80 percent of their total export.
