@DPJHodges Ludicrous statement. At a time of crisis, not just tensions, of course they should be here.

II hate these stories. Same goes for the attack on Starmer being away. If the PM and British defence secretary refused to take a holiday until there weren't tensions in the Middle East they'd never take one.

It's mad, but going on the basis we can't possibly be as bad as we were against City I actually fancy us to get something from this. Or at least give them a game.

Iran HALTS ships in Strait of Hormuz and issues new demand as Trump's crumbling ceasefire faces furious Republican backlash trib.al/LVVKbQf
English
English
@DailyMail @DPJHodges They're demanding that Israel honour the ceasefire as negotiated! How fucking dare they! Don't they know Israel never abides by any ceasefire even ones they agree to?
English
@DailyMail The Republicans are embarrassed by Trump's surrender to Iran......
English
@DailyMail All lies. Ships not halted. No backlash. Trump controls everything. Source- Karoline Leavitt. The Mail has turned into a rag, fit only for dumbo and friends

@itvnews @johnirvineitv Is that why Israel is continuing to bomb Lebanon because their strategic objectives were not achieved in Iran. When is the Western World going to place sanctions on Israel who are the instigators of wars & a terrorist State when will Netanyahu be prosecuted for war crimes in Gaza
English
While Trump is claiming the two-week ceasefire as a win for the US, Netanyahu’s critics say the pause has come without any of Israel’s strategic objectives being achieved, writes @johnirvineitv

@Grumpletastic @DPJHodges No ceasefire then. Iran is in no position to demand anything.
English
The best way to test if the Strait really is open is for Pete Hegseth to get on a ship and try to sail through.
English
@DPJHodges So, Iran has renegade on the ceasefire. Let battle recommence .
English
But Pete Hegseth said it was open...
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
Few ships were attempting trips through the Strait of Hormuz despite President Trump’s call for a “complete, immediate and safe opening” as a condition for his two-week cease-fire. In the waterway, Iran was telling ships anchored near the strait to obtain permission from the the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy before crossing or risk being destroyed, according to a marine radio recording shared with The Wall Street Journal by a vessel crew member. on.wsj.com/41ifvsn

@DailyMailUK Coward. Bending to Islamist terrorists and a rogue state. Shameful and disgusting. Thank God Hodges wasn't around in 1939.

DAN HODGES: Iran has won and Donald Trump has lost. His war has only emboldened the regime and a new generation of radicals, terrorists and sympathisers. And that only scratches the surface of what's to come... trib.al/vXEDr8n

@EylonALevy Is that what Egypt is doing when they charge a toll in the Suez Canal? Stop being a drama queen you’re worse than little girls

Iran is demanding institutionalized piracy on the high seas. This must not happen. 🏴☠️
Neri Zilber@NeriZilber
Iran will demand that shipping companies pay tolls in cryptocurrency for laden oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, as it seeks to retain control over passage through the key waterway during the two-week ceasefire. @FT @Najmeh_Tehran + Alice Hancock ft.com/content/02aefa…

@brett_mcgurk @rgoodlaw Two Week Trump folded like a cheap lawn chair 😎
English
Signal to noise: as of this morning there is no change in the Strait of Hormuz—ships pass only with Iran’s consent—and Iran is shooting missiles at UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Whatever is being said, this is what’s happening.
English
English
@brett_mcgurk @barbaraslavin1 UAE, Kuwait are bombing Iranian oil facilities and Iran is responding.
Israel is heavily bombing Lebanese civilians. If this doesn't stop then Iran will launch missiles at Israel.
English
English
@brett_mcgurk @rgoodlaw Seems Israel is also not following Cease Fire🤷🏻♀️
Not even sure what Progress looks like if they continue like this
English
@DPJHodges They can't. They don't own the Straits and under international law it would be illegal.( How many more times!)
English
@DPJHodges No, they've illegally taken control. Wait a few weeks and you'll see who controls everything, and it won't be Iran.
English
@GeoffreyWater10 Iran controls the Straits. That's literally what's just happened.
English
With respect to Frank Gardner, if Iran has emerged strategically stronger from the war, it's won. That's what winning looks like in geopolitics.
Frank Gardner@FrankRGardner
I’m just going to say it, re the ceasefire in the #IranWar - neither side has ‘won’. Iran’s military and its command structure is decimated and yet it has emerged strategically stronger. It now effectively controls the Strait of Hormuz. Which it didn’t before this war.
English
@DPJHodges You don't seriously think Trump is going to allow Iran alone to control the Straights.Anyway, it contravenes International law, but you knew that,of course. Otherwise we could control the Med via Gibraltar.
English
@GeoffreyWater10 You're right. It doesn't effectively control them. It literally controls them.
