Open…Close…just like Eyes Wide Open, and then Eyes Wide Shut(the movie). Which is which IRGC?
Great
Trump and teams and those with them and Israel knows what they are doing and they will win! AMENS,out loud AMENS
If you didn't ask..to know the true peace that all who want to live know this!
Let's face the facts, the regime change in Iran might help, but the regime change in the U.S. and Israel is needed more urgently. Even if this war somehow ended, Netanyahu will find another war the next day, and will Blackmail Trump into the next war. Netanyahu needs wars like a drug addict needs drugs.
This is peaceful world, but is not America choose to start the war anytime the wants, Iran fighting for humanity in this world
There's an app online where you can see all of the ships at sea and their movement…..the strait is most certainly open.
Why don't the US follow Ukraine's lead and flood the Cliffs facing the Straits with drones? Make it a death zone for IRGC soldiers.
I'm with Israel and Trump and teams and those with them and God of the Bible and Torah are with us and Iran regime will die not us because you are not the innocent ones or who protect your people.
Bravo IRAN ❤❤❤❤

ALL because the US can't be trusted, is negotiating with lies, is continuing to taunt Iran and Trump can't keep his lying, insulting mouth SHUT!!! Iran has something bigger than a nuclear weapon…
The Israeli Regime have broken the ceasefire already. The Iranian government is right not to trust Israeli Regime or the USA. The people of the world know who the real terrorists are, and it isn't Iranian or Palestinian. The US and Israeli leaders should both be in jail for War Crimes. The BBC just bump out Israeli propaganda now the people see right through it. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
It would be a good idea if you make an appointment with your shrink, believe me half of the world problem will be solved. I am serious.
The nuclear bologna is only for the people of Iran to make their life easier. For their electricity, daily life routine, nothing else.
There is no such thing as "nukyaler."
That's how much you can trust Trump and this US administration …
A bunch of idiots in America are responsible for this mess, headed by the biggest idiot of the lot.
Whan all the people of America, and the world are against you, what is here and there for you, nothing, just nothing.Just a big madness.
Iran Everytime making big Drama😡

Just be reasonable and get of this madness before it is too late.
The BBC's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC's Persian Service.
These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.
What does this mean?
World Press Freedom Index has the USA at 56th. My country Ireland is 7th. Israel is at 112th.. The UK Is 20th. They would be higher if only the Government and the BBC would just be honest. Isreal with the help of America is committing genocide in Gaza and now Lebanon.
Blockade Israel.
At first it was supposedly over Lebanon. No Lebanon no straits well trump then humiliated Israel for a bowl of porridge now they’ve moved the goal post smh
Can't be too worried about nuclear material if you'll drop the whole thing for 20% off a barrel of oil.
I suspect it is all about enriching the billionaires. Trump says a deal is close. Shares go up. They buy cheap and sell when up. They are informed beforehand. They do not care about people
BBC, NPR the only information disclosure without restrictions by rumpstien.
Ceasefire is bad step now because China is the main culprit and he is giving max support to Iran.Zeleneski should come here to clere up dirt of Hamuz with the help of USA. This war is going to be the decisive step for America and China.
The Strait of Schrödinger is both open and closed at the same time
No more negotiations
America should stop this Iran
trump's absurd announcements flip flop from day to day. they are stock markets manipulations. he's been doing this all along.
Trump is a pleaser and a poor negotiator
So If the US is still blockading Iran. How do they have control?
You cant close an ocean. They can just make it hostile. Guess what? So can America. Our Navy is far superior to Iran's. Let's see how far you want to take this, Iran. Spoiler alert: It wont end well for you. 😂😂😂😂😂
we are being played by the rich
