If only all this had been BLATANTLY OBVIOUS before Trump attacked.
Trump wants free Iran ppl, free ships in Hormuz We can see how Trump haters happy delays this freedom.
Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
US said, hahaha
Project economic slavery.
The way Trump keeps repeating how Iran has no military just shows how behind the times he is. They have now proven they aren’t even needed!
Stop lying BBC news. "Just getting started" yeah right. The US is demolishing Iran, they're finished. Fake news
Trump is the dumbest president in history no question. He's a demented old man. A grifter, liar, felon, philander, and tax cheat. An embarrassment to us all.
Project Freedumb!
Continue the illegal war of Aggression on Iran 🤮
Trump's mouth is writing cheques his arse can't cash.
The Epstine class and mainstream media like this network are desperate for this distraction from the Epstine files. The BBC was exposed for trying to cover for the Epstine Class. 🧐
Yep! The US violates everything!!
Will someone just end his ways…..
they have made this about Trump… but the world should all be standing up for freedom of navigation; and to reject Iran's tolls and other sabotage of the strait for the good of the entire globe… this fiasco creates inflationary pressure which affects the whole world, not just US and Israel… this fiasco could cause already fragile economies to collapse, cause middle classes to fall into poverty, cause the poor to fall into starvation, or otherwise create more humanitarian crisis on a world already suffering… regardless how illegal or legal this war is, the strait is separate issue of terrorism which affects billions of innocents
Oil prices have nearly doubled since January.
Sanctions on Russian and Iranian Oil were lifted.
Irans Regime was replaced by hardliners.
US stockpiles depleted.
US allies bombed and left without defenses.
And all it cost – was a few trillion tax dollars and our mental health.
Should have gone with the radical left candidate who wanted to build bike lanes and windparks..
lol its not a cease fire if your firing at each other lol
Iran makes me laugh. It actually thinks it has any say in the outcome here. Get real.
Good for them 👏👏👏
They have no leader no Aircraft no Navy but they are giving you a beating
Trump endlessly terrorizing the country and world simply because of how much he is in the Trump-Epstein Files.
Got eeeem
Iran needs to be very careful, the longer this goes on more and more countries around the world will turn against them, as fuel shortages, food prices and economies get worse they will become more desperate
I like how you quote the Iranian government as if they aren't terrorists, but just a normal democracy. Like you do with Hamas. The BBC really likes its islamic dictatorships, doesn't it?
Nothing about the latest assassination attempt, BBC?
Hormuz! now we hear something called international waters … Yes it's good, but how about the Chines balloon that was downed for crossing over the US air?
Great JOB BBC and Israel, you genocidal propagandists have brought this on yourselves.
How strange but factually correct that entire war is now revolving around strait of hormuz, which is essentially a consequence of war.
Always fun to watch two 🐂 💩artists having a dance off.
The reason the strait of Hormuz is closed is that the U.S. imposed a blockade on Iran. If the U.S. lifts the blockade, Iran will instantly open the strait
Usa lost credibility and status because of Dumpy's decision to be Benji's beta.
No no no Iran incharge of they waters 😂😂😂😂
operation freedumb
Get your facts right 👍🏼
Incredible the number of fat comfy Europeans and Americans that will sit on the internet and shill for the IRGC. They literally murder their own people and stand for the polar opposite of what western "liberals" claim to stand for , and yet their Trump derangement syndrome seems to over power the actual reality of a brutal murderous regime who are now even attacking their own neighbours Very odd to see. No wonder the west is "in trouble" – its not the IRGC they have to worry about.
trump talking about starmer no ships no army no airforce wimp leader
Why does the BBC post Iran’s opinions
Pete Hegseth United States Secretary of Defense Did you think about innocent people of Gazza and Lebanon innocent people?
Pot calling kettle black, Mr. President, please follow through with your promise and turn these people into stone.
Bbc joke
Keep up the violation Don let's make the jundis realise that they are f*"'ed Iranian motorboat against a state of the art destroyer no contest but a lot more Tomartyrs
Kalergi plan. Higher petrol and food costs incoming.
how are they still blocking the stait ? it seems they lost everything to come out on top
Gas prices ⛽ still rising ☕ 🐸
Glad the cease fire is over lets go!! Lets see if you can back up the tough talk!
However you feel about this war on Iran, the strait must open otherwise we're f'ed!
Trump and the IRGC fanatics are not making it any better for the upcoming energy crisis in the winter which Ukraine, few years ago, and the Arab Oil Embargo in the 1970s, will feel like a child's play compared to; especially for us here in Britain and across Europe.
who's gonna act 'president trump' in a comedic and catastrophic but true bio pic about the 47th us president or will this be best left to disney to take care of it??!!
The ceasefire has not been adhered to by the Israelis from the start but the rank and complicit BBC have failed to mention this…
Please sew up that hippopotamus Trump's mouth. He's attacked the entire world… Countries are demanding Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump has blocked that too, so it's a double blockade.
I'd be embarrassed to say "I've wiped out their navy, army, military and all their weapons" but yet can't open the strait? 😂😂😂😂
