@intelFromBrian The real question is what big player jumped in and said open the straight. Doubtful trump backed down because of Iran. Definitely more to this.
English

IF the strait of Hormuz opens and goes back to usual traffic, that will be around an average of 135 ships per day.
135 ships x 14 days= 1890 ships will pass through the strait of Hormuz the next 14 days.
If Iran charges $2 million, and they split it with Oman, that is 1.89 billion dollars that Iran will make in the next 14 days.
IF it stays open permanently and Iran is able to charge the $2m (and keep the 1m), that is almost $50 billion dollars per year for Iran that they will make yearly due to this war.
Plenty of money to spend on the ballistic missile program! (And reconstruction obviously)

@KimDotcom Anyone claiming the end to this conflict are being very premature

Hormuz is Iran's leverage. Iran will not open it for two weeks as a goodwill gesture because doing so: relieves the primary negative carry pressure on Trump, interrupts the normalization cascade at its most productive point, validates the coercive model Iran must not validate, contradicts the IRGC's morning declarations, and surrenders the November 2026 electoral pressure timeline.
The Pakistan PM has created the right diplomatic architecture with the wrong central ask. The deadline extension request to Trump is viable. The Hormuz opening request to Iran is not.
What Iran might accept instead: non-Hormuz signals that give Trump's TACO exit enough cover to extend the deadline without requiring Iran to surrender its primary leverage instrument. I'm not exactly sure what that is but we will find out in less than 4 hours (allegedly).

@YeahImRob1 @Osinttechnical Iran made you shat your pants, they're talking big same as Trump is
English

@Osinttechnical I don't believe this. Iran has been determined they will not stop the war based on anything trump wants. This ceasefire is either for buying them time strategically or to try to make trump look bad.
English

@CMShehbaz Fuck off. Iran has had plenty of time to agree to a Deal. Enough is enough. GIVE ‘EM HELL!!!
English

Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region.

@YodadAgain @davidkurten If he doesn't, and the Islamic Republic build their nukes, all is good?

@LordHarry138682 @aus_pill what did 9/11 have to do with Afghanistan or Australia?
English

It is surely incumbent on all US allies, and everyone else, to condemn Trump’s threat of war crimes and genocidal intent (themselves war crimes) and to have absolutely nothing to do with this deranged “plan” coming from the mouth of a man out of control and surrounded by cultists and sycophants

Then why did he say ‘a whole civilisation’ ?

@piersmorgan He means the regime, Piers.

@afneil Imagine if this came from Putin or any other world leader. The Western media would be in a frenzy and politicians in the West would call the UN Security Council. There would be all the usual drama. But now everyone is just sitting there, talking nothing. It’s pathetic, the Wst

President Trump threatens to wipe out Iranian civilization if Tehran doesn’t cede to his demands by 8pm New York time (1am London) tonight (Tuesday).
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump writes on his Truth Social platform.
Is there anybody, any group capable of staging an intervention in the White House?

🚨 Do you understand what Iran just did to the global economy less than 24 hours before Trump's deadline..
they hit Jubail Industrial City.. Saudi Arabia's largest petrochemical complex.. the zone that produces 60,000,000 tons of petrochemicals a year.. 6 to 8 percent of EVERYTHING the world makes..
this isn't a military target.. this is the chemical backbone of modern civilization..
> SABIC.. the fourth largest petrochemical manufacturer on Earth.. is on fire
> Dow Chemical's Sadara complex.. 26 production units.. already suspended operations weeks ago
> Saudi Aramco paid $70,000,000,000 for their stake in SABIC.. that investment is literally burning right now
> 85 percent of Saudi Arabia's non-oil exports come from this ONE zone
here's what nobody is framing correctly..
Iran didn't hit a refinery.. they hit the feedstock that becomes your plastic.. your fertilizer.. your packaging.. your medical supplies..
and they did it the night before Trump said he'd turn Iran into rubble..
you're not watching a war.. you're watching two countries racing to see who can destroy the other's economy first while yours pays $4.12 a gallon to watch..
if you're not following me you're finding out about this 24 hours late from someone who read my post.. it's only getting crazier from here..

To European leaders,
I’m a European. I care about Europe.
Donald Trump has maneuvered himself into a lose / lose situation. There seems to be no off-ramp out of his Iran war. If Trump escalates further you have to immediately react. If he folds you have to expect the end of the petrodollar and the end of USD as the reserve currency.
You must make instant peace with Russia and partner with Russia and China for your energy and economic needs. You must abandon the US. It does not care about you anyway as shown by its selfish actions in Iran and Ukraine. Ask Russia and China for help with the Middle East. Join the multipolar world.
The US will go into a depression that will become a global economic crisis. You will only survive with the help of Russia and China. You must say no to Israel and its Jewish billionaires. They are ultimately responsible for this disaster and must pay. Make sure your media is independent again.
Let Ursula go. It’s also the end of Macron, Starmer and Merz. They must go for their miscalculation of the situation. The UK should immediately rejoin the EU and take part in the actions above. Now is the time to pivot. Otherwise Europe will go down with the US.

Went into town for a while today. First time I've done that in ages.
Genuinely astonishing how many foreigners there were. The number of Africans was just insane, with at least half of them appearing mentally ill.
Parts of my town are completely colonised by these people.
I will vote for any party that gets rid of them. They should not be here.

@HJB_News__ He was assaulted by a low life. The judiciary and the politicians are going to be punished very harshly.

I believe tomorrow night Trump will strike the bridges and power plants in Iran, triggering hellfire from Iran.
This will be a cascading mass casualty event in the region with the most deaths being in Iran. The horrific part is that no one can stop it, and it is being done only for Netanyahu's wishes to come true.
Trump had the opportunity to make a legendary deal with Iran 37 days ago. It would have been a win-win deal for both the U.S. and Iran, but Israel would lose. They did not want Iran to have missiles or drones. So Witkoff and Kushner blew up the deal with lies to Trump, triggering this war.
We are at a dark junction in history. If U.S. does these attacks, Iran will respond fast. It has already shared a bank of targets it will respond to in the region and Israel. One madman and his friend, with the strongest army in the world, are dragging us all into hell.
I pray I am wrong. I pray for the civilians. I pray for peace.
