🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is letting Iranian oil tankers travel for days, sometimes thousands of miles, then seizing them right before delivery.
The 4 Iranian-linked tankers seized in the past 2 weeks: the Sabine, Donara, Tiffany, and Daraya.
Iran runs a "shadow fleet" to dodge sanctions and funnel oil to Chinese buyers. That trade brings in $40-50 billion a year, roughly 90% of its export revenue.
The U.S. has figured out the routes, the buyers, and the timing.
Crews spend 8 days at sea thinking they've made it, only to sail straight into a trap that was set before they even left port.

"Before Trump began his war the Strait of Hormuz was open. Eight weeks into the war it is closed. Iran’s key chess move, a simple one that was entirely foreseeable, has succeeded. The world will remember that Iran can make this move again in the future."

Iran just dropped the hammer!
They just announced they are now charging a toll for all ships that go through the Straight of Hormuz
The fee has to be paid in their local currency, and any country that participated in the war has to pay an ADDITIONAL fee. Oh and Israel is banned
On top of this, they are banning ships from countries that are sanctioning Iran: 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇰🇷
And to make things worse, as a middle finger to Trump, they are asking all countries to call it the Strait of Persia 😂
Iran know Trump does not want to return to war, the global economy cannot afford it, and they are making the most out of the situation
The effects of this war will be felt for generations to come. We're just starting to see the consequences unfold

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran is no longer holding back and is ready to hit critical infrastructure across the Middle East.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson argues another attack against Iran will trigger a catastrophic zero restraint response across the region.
"The minute there are launches in their direction, they will take out the electrical infrastructure.
Let's see how the folks in Dubai do with no air conditioning."

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Even if Trump's threats are simply a means of intimidating Iran, they should give everyone serious cause for pause. CIA analyst Larry Johnson says concerns about Trump potentially ordering a nuclear strike are serious enough that it may come down to military leaders refusing to carry it out. He argues Trump's approach to the war has become extremely dangerous and irresponsible. "He is popping off and saying the most outrageous things."

Trump has extended the deadline for peace negotiations because ... there were no negotiations. Iranians didn't show up and neither did JD Vance. Now, that people realize Trump has been lying all along, economic calamity like we haven't seen in our lifetimes is at our doorstep.

MAGA: Iran gave Trump everything he demanded and got nothing in return! For some reason, they suddenly surrendered. Trump got it all. We won! Trump told us on Truth Social.
Reality:
Phil Stewart@phildstewart
(Reuters) - Significant differences between Iran and the United States remain to reach a deal aimed at ending the war, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Friday, adding that keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is "conditional on U.S. adherence to the terms of ceasefire". The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said "no agreement has been reached on the details of the nuclear issues," and serious negotiations are required to overcome differences. He said Tehran hoped that a preliminary agreement could be reached in the coming days with mediator Pakistan’s efforts, with the possibility of extending the ceasefire to "create space for more talks on lifting sanctions on Iran and securing compensation for war damages". "In exchange, Iran will provide assurances to the international community about the peaceful nature of its nuclear programme," he said, adding that any other "narrative about the ongoing talks is a misrepresentation of the situation".

Pour que les choses soient claires : comme pretre catholique il est de mon devoir de dire au vice-président Vance,dont je connais les qualités qu’il n’a pas le droit comme catholique de donner ordre au Pape de se taire, ni d’invoquer les questions de moralité., avec des sous entendus désagréables. Comme vice-président, il peut bien évidemment invoquer la notion de guerre juste sans qu’il soit nécessaire de médire sur la moralité de l’Eglise. Je ne rajouterai plus rien sur cette question.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has vowed to MASS PARDON his top admin officials and staffers when he leaves office — WSJ
Good. The left is going to GO AFTER these patriots relentlessly.
"I'll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval," Trump said in a "recent meeting to laughs"
Remember: JOE BIDEN went CRAZY with mass pardons when he left office.
The left has ZERO grounds to complain about this if and when it does happen! PARDON AWAY!

Everyone understands this ceasefire was just so Trump didn’t look weak for not obliterating all of Iran’s critical infrastructure, right?
Iran is already claiming the US gave them the OK to enrich uranium, so these talks almost certainly aren’t going to go anywhere.
English
@EYakoby Then Trump shouldn't have said that their 10 point plan was a good basis for negotiations.
That part's on him.
English
The literal Islamic Republic releases a 10 point plan and says “Trump agreed to it,” and half of X is now regurgitating it and posting it as though it’s true.
These are the same people that told you Trump was going to nuke Iran tonight.
The idiocy on this platform is insane.

@TheTNHoller I don’t understand how that top line indicates the WH wrote the message for Pakistan, whats the reasoning?

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

@SenWarren None of them can have an original thought…. Always the same talking points.

We don’t know what will happen tonight: if Trump will back down or commit war crimes.
But I do know that Congress has the power to stop this.
Republican Leader John Thune must call the Senate back into session immediately.
And Congress needs to vote to stop Trump’s war NOW.
