the us blockade of the strait of hormuz will do little damage to iran. why? exponential train, truck traffic from china to iran. the increasing shipping traffic from russia via the caspian sea. lastly the limited but sporadic cargo flights to eastern iran. also black market smuggling via pakistan and afghanistan too.

So let mew get this correct. Mr. Vance get absolved of responsibility for this war because he is "known" to be against it. I love how personal responsibility works for some but not other during these times.
noone has a conscience 😮
How was nobody talking about that man’s eyes?
So the war has also affected the use of condom and so they’re going to increase the price by %30 😂
Double blockade to make sure EU to buy more oil from democracy USA,price is not an issue.
Retaliate with dumping of stock markets today with announcement because yesterday the proxies already bought the Dip! 😂😂
stanley tucci???!
Are they mad? Trump will post something angry and give them two weeks…..
So the US has lost another war, but the Orange Utan is not willing to accept reality and prefers to drag down the World economy and to cause mass famines. Thank you U.S.A.
Trump is the president that started WW3.
The US and Israel’s illegal war on Iran -let’s get it right!
Trump is stumped!. N', so too are both Putin n' Netanyahu!. Seriously!. For the humble 🥕 is much mightier than the stick!. Isn't it?!.
The people on this planet are sick
It's no longer TACO Tuesday… it's TACO every day of the month… 🤑🤡🤮🤡😂🤣
A blockade is an act of war, even during a cease fire. They said the Iranian navy was at the bottom of the ocean.
No dogs in this one but – On the wording "Regime change". Ayatollah replaced by Ayatollah. In the meantime it looks like there's going to be a "Regime change" in US. The latest us news say republicans are loosing on polls. It would amazing if this happened. Basically it would mean Trump is the only president who has attacked his own country (January 6th) and if "regime change" happens over there – he would be only president to "regime change" himself democratically. Mind Boggling🤔
EVERYTHING Trumpstein says and does points to
his personal investment portfolio doing the talking.
Trumpstein was keen to fire off all those expensive missiles
so he definitely invested in that part of the arms market.
With 'friends' like the Americans, the U.S. vassals definitely don't need enemies.

BBC is one of the only media outlets this big actually calling it a war. and not using ceasefire in everything. every bit of media in my country (the US of A) is blatantly slapping the word ceasefire on anything related to the war. like our media thinks their own people are children and cant handle the word war or something. its infuriating
I'm just surprised the European Commission hasn't sent a directive to airlines to reduce the airspeeds of airliners by 33% to save Jet Fuel.
Yawn.
that ship sailed WAY TO CLOSE TO THE IRANIAN BORDER….lol…was he trying to get captured? was this a set up because iran was envious on the united states operations of seizing a vessel? llllmmmaaoooo please america…bring the tac nukes out and end this regime
BBC reporting is basically sucking and glazing on Trump out of fear of getting sued, cowards 👎
No aviation fuel by the time of the World Cup. Hilarious!
The American media is totally glossing this over. They want to put American boots on the ground there which will be a death trap-this unprovoked war is BS and Americans better stand up to Netanyahu!
Remember BBC is a State-run organisation. Please beware on whatever they report (and not report delibrately) and read their news with caution.50% the Truth and 50% the Lies do not make 100% the Truth.
iran has no navy….just speed boats with guns on em….lllmmmmaaooo (talking about irans navy) ppuullleeaaasseee …a damn tanker? really?
navy= cruisers…destroyers….battle ships…carriers…submarines…..lllmmmmaaooo united states destroyed all of those already…
Impeach the absolute dumbest president Trump now❤❤
When Iran retaliates after she is attacked, she is a bad girl. 🤔🤔🤔
Can we just please get this over with? 54 days to long… negotiations? 54 days worth of negotiations going nowhere, 54 days worth of depleting my bank account as the price of EVERYTHING went up. Yet our wages remain the same.
Please end the war, press the red button and get it over with.
Why have the civilians covered
What a load of British propaganda bollocks… BBC didn't mention US initiated a blockade on Iran during the ceasefire and seized Iranian ships too
Where’s trumps ships like he said to protect them 😂
Kal rat 9 baje ki bad se Mobil mene us NAHI kiya
