Trump Threatens Blockade on Iran (and on China) As I warned repeatedly - the US not only doesn't care about the Strait of Hormuz closing - it wants it to close - it just wants it closed on ITS OWN TERMS. WSJ (image 1) says: “If Iran refuses to accept the final deal the United States offered Saturday, Trump could bomb Tehran back to the ‘Stone Ages’ as he vowed,” says the article by journalist John Solomon, which Trump posted shortly after midnight Eastern time. “Or he might just reprise his successful blockade strategy to choke an already teetering Iranian economy and ratchet up diplomatic pressure on China and India by cutting them off [from] one of their key sources of oil.” This is why the USMC MEUs were sent and this is what the US is openly saying it will do next. If you understand continuity of agenda (image 3) and the bigger picture (image 4) of what the US is doing and that the ultimate goal is China - this was always obvious.

🇺🇸/IRAN - US Announces Own Blockade on Hormuz As I warned a month ago, the US now announces its own blockade on the Strait of Hormuz to prevent any traffic at all from passing - especially ships allowed through by Iran to its allies and partners. The entire purpose of this war was and is to destroy the multipolar world in a controlled economic demolition, targeting energy badly needed by the multipolar world from the Middle East and others (Russia/Venezuela which the US has either already captured or is targeting through war). This will hurt the US. The US thinks it will hurt multipolarism more and that the US will emerge stronger relative to the multipolar world on the other end of this policy. Only time will tell for certain. I warned once the US Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) arrived (the USS Boxer is still en route) the most likely purpose was maritime interdiction - what the US Marines were reorganized to do under the previous Biden administration and specifically to impose a blockade on China - and as per continuity of agenda - the Trump administration has picked up right where Biden left off. Instead of doing it closer to China and its navy in Asia-Pacific, the US will impose its "distant blockade" at the Strait of Hormuz.

🇺🇸BREAKING: U.S President Trump: “So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, “There may be a mine out there somewhere,” that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted. I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their “Leaders,” are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition. The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully “LOCKED AND LOADED,” and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!”

Residents on Greece’s Chios island celebrated Orthodox Easter with the centuries-old “rocket war”, launching handmade rockets between rival churches during midnight mass. The event was scaled back after a fireworks workshop explosion injured several people.

Singapore’s Foreign Minister on why he cannot accept negotiating with Iran for safe passage of ships. Definitely worth listening to:

USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) transited the Strait of Hormuz and operated in the Arabian Gulf as part of a broader mission to ensure the strait is fully clear of sea mines previously laid by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

The US has very quickly normalised the murder of foreign leaders.

NOW - Vance on Iran: "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement... We go back to the United States having not come to an agreement."
