The Iranian Deputy Foreign Minisiter is stating that the Strait of Hormuz (where the traffic separation scheme is located - and Omani waters) is mined. Remember: It takes ZERO mines to make a minefield. All you need is the threat of mines.

Capitalists spend their time building Communists and Islamists spend their time destroying This asymmetry gives the latter a 10x advantage One side is passive while the other side is active

So SecWar Pete Hegseth just fired Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., the US Army’s (now former) Chief of Chaplains. I have zero insider information on this, but I have my own theories as to why it happened. Green’s most important event as the Chief of Chaplains was to produce the United States Army’s “Spiritual Fitness Guide.” Published in July of 2025, Stars & Stripes wrote an article on this with a link to the guide. (I’ll put all related links in a comment email one below.) I’ll save you the trouble of clicking on that link — it goes to the US Army’s website, and it’s “404 Page Not Found.” That kind of explains a lot, doesn’t it? So I went and found a full copy of that “Guide” elsewhere (in, of all places, a “Military Atheist” website; link in the post below). Go check it out. Do a word search for the word “God.” Go ahead. Do it. It shows up exactly ONCE. How can you have a guide to spiritual fitness without mentioning God????? But what that “guide" DOES TALK about is a bunch on New Age gobbledygook. Let me give you a taste: "The Soldier’s Spirit lies at the intersection of external influences (stimulus) and applied behavior (response). It is the vital junction that supports the weight of life and drives Soldier action. In a relatable way, the Soldier’s spirit is much like a compass in life, providing substance to the direction that they take in life and the decisions they make. This reality makes understanding and developing the Soldier's spirit crucial, as the direction of a Soldier ultimately shapes the direction and well-being of the Army.” The primary mission of the Chaplain Corps is to “provide religious support” to soldiers (from their official mission statement). Yet the US Army’s “Spiritual Fitness Guide” reads like it was written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on a bender—not a word of encouragement for a soldier’s faith, but pages upon pages of New Age nonsense that makes Universalism sound like rational thought and really does imagine no religion. Yeah, one does not need to understand why a man of faith like Pete Hegseth fired a wishy washy New Age Pharisee like Green.

French President Macron on the Strait of Hormuz: "Opening it by force is not the option we have chosen, we consider it unrealistic. A military operation would take an infinite amount of time and expose forces to immense coastal and ballistic risks. From the beginning, we have said it must be reopened, but only in coordination with Iran. The world cannot live with a strait that can be opened or closed overnight."
