There is simply no justification for the United States pushing through vessels along the Omani coastline in the Strait of Hormuz. You can cry and scream about "freedom of navigation", but at the end of the day, the Memorandum of Understanding was very clear that Iran would control the traffic through the Strait of Hormuz during the initial 60-day window. Time and time again, the United States has shredded the MOU by attempting to retroactively alter the terms because they didn't "like them". Of course you didn't like them. They suck... because you LOST. Oil sanction waivers a la Article 10? Torched. No new sanctions a la Article 9? Blown up. Iranian administration of traffic a la Article 5? Nope. You can whine all day long about how it's "wrong" for Iran to strike those vessels, but this is a rational response to a war of choice from the United States. You don't get to claim "right vs. wrong" when the Trump Administration is solely to blame for this situation in the first place. The Strait of Hormuz was open before this war started. The REASON that the United States was attempting an Operation Freedom 2.0 along the Omani Route was BECAUSE they were trying to actively undermine the Iranian control of the Strait. They were trying to actively push through enough vessels in a short enough period of time to shift the strategic landscape of the conflict. I have seen time and time again people claim, "Iran doesn't know what's best for them. If they just didn't strike vessels, they would get massive sanctions relief"... No, they wouldn't. Because President Trump and the United States had no INTENTION of sticking to the MOU. The goal was to use this 60-day window to shift the landscape so that they could topple the regime or secure outcomes they could not have in the initial MOU. This isn't "the US operating in good faith and those pesky Iranians messed everything up". This is the United States blatantly trying to unilaterally alter the terms of the MOU by shredded the oil waivers, sanctioning new entities, and pushing vessels through the Omani Route.

$STRC investors are not worried about Strategy's inability to pay dividends. Dividends will get paid. STRC investors are primarily worried about Strategy's inability to keep the price stable. Therefore, the demand has not been there since the last liquidation cascade. Saylor can fix this by repurchasing STRC and getting the price back up to $100.

You can literally watch tankers curving around the Musandam Peninsula ignoring Iran lol. The IRGC is the Glenn Close of geopolitics. "I'm not going to be IGNORED, Trump!"

Trump shattered the Iran status quo that all administrations had preserved. For the first time in the history of the US-Israel alliance, Israel executed a full-scale military operation in complete operational harmony with Washington. He dismantled the missile-and-drone architecture that his predecessors had allowed to metastasize across the region for a decade. He mobilized Treasury and Energy simultaneously to prevent a global recession while a major military campaign was reshaping one of the world's most critical strategic chokepoints. He imposed sanctions against Chinese teapot refineries, the financial backbone of Iranian oil revenues, and still held the Xi summit, forcing Beijing to absorb the cost without an exit ramp. He brought the Gulf Arab states and Israel into operational collaboration under CENTCOM, something every prior administration deemed structurally impossible. But yes, Trump is "doing like Obama," and ceasefires along the way are complete "capitulations."
