🇺🇸🇮🇷 What if Trump’s entire blockade is to pressure Iran to give him a cut of the toll fees they are charging at the Strait of Hormuz? Last week, he asked reporters: “What about us charging tolls?“ He said it could be a “joint venture” with Iran Under such a plan, Iran would monetize the world's most vital shipping lane as a way to compensate for the damages they faced from the war, and if Trump has his way, the U.S. would get a cut of that He just needs to convince Iran 😂

🇺🇸🇮🇷 White House: "All objectives we set out at the start of Operation Epic Fury have been achieved. Iran is defeated." This is the message Trump needs for domestic consumption. Declare victory, claim the mission is complete, and use that framing to justify walking away without a signed deal. The reality on the ground tells a different story. Iran controls Hormuz. The IRGC reclaimed 60% of its missile launchers during the ceasefire. The regime survived and emerged more hardline. The uranium is still buried. The proxies are still operational. The original ceasefire just expired with no deal. And the White House is still running a naval blockade because Iran refuses to negotiate while it's in place. If Iran is "defeated," why is the U.S. still blockading Iranian ports? Why are carriers still being repositioned? Why did Vance's trip get postponed because Iran refused to show up? The framing matters because it shapes how Trump can exit. "Victory achieved" lets him walk away even without a formal agreement, declare the mission done, and pivot to midterms. Whether the world agrees with the framing is a completely separate question... Source: Bloomberg

Just an FYI: Iran is full of retards but the fools who aren’t even there who support them are the ones who need real help.
