Iran lies they just want bomb Israel, and not let them defend.
If USA wants peace with Iran better tell Israel stop
Usa seems to be trying to bring a cease fire , but cant sto p israel. Iran sees the opportunity to stop usa supporting israel…as it seems that vp vance ..saying stop israel. But …but?
Again. BBC garbage is using an active tone when Iran and BBC's perceived enemy are doing the action. It's not "Strait of Hormuz is closed by Iran".
Previous video with passive tone: "At least 47 killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon"; When Israeli and US are doing the damage. BBC uses passive tone to make it not seem as intensive.
Both of these 2 news are connected, and both time BBC is reporting unjustiyingly. BBC is garbage!!
Any one with a brain can see Israel has broken the ceasefire Israeli ministers even admit to it.
but the BBC can't , complicit in war crimes and genocide
Until Israel and the USA remove their administration by voting them out. This is going to go on for the next couple of years.
Kid songs:
Close open close open close opse CLOSE
Darn! We all thought this time there was peace for sure
Of course they did. 😅😅😅
As terrible as it is for the world economy, it's absolutely delicious the way iran are humiliating Trump and sowing division in the US/Israeli terrorist regime.
Iran made the US capitulate, showed to the world how the US is weak and proceeded to close the straight anyway. Pure humiliation extract
Imagine if the US signs a peace agreement with Iran that removes US support for Israel
The Plejaren extraterrestrials say my photo image is the true and correct universal peace symbol.
United israel of America 😅
Psst Iran your blocking international waters. Now even China is pissed off
when was the last time israel was in the news for something good
Hama invades and kills over 1200 people in Israel 3 years ago. Israel retaliates and kills 73,000 people in Gaza strip. Trump tells Iranian people to rise up and the regime there kills over 30000 of its own citizens. Hezbollah won't stop taking pot-shots at Israel and the IDF kills 4,000 people in Lebanon. Evil terrorist groups and governments care more about staying in power, and their hatred of Israel, than saving their own people.
United states of Israel🤣
Come on Mr Trump wield the big stick.
Iran now realizes they can control the US with threat of closing the straits. It will never end. They just made a deal with the devil
Hope the US didn't pay the 300 billion before this.
I'm also glad the US didn't alienate all It's actual allies in favour of Israel
No order of malta for israeli women and children on October 7th, no order of malta for israeli civilians living in northern israel when IRGC back Hezbollah destroyed northern israelis homes, UNIFIL order of malta UNRWA all terrorist supporters helping to kill Israelis.
Why is it that I hope Israel sees no further reason to hold back. If someone were bombing my mother's neighborhood, I think that is what I would choose.
Israel totally controls Trump and the US. Trump is so weak. He's Netanyahu's little puppet.
Didn’t you hear? Israel started this war to gain the land of the so-called tribes of “Naphtali and Asher”
USA has been constantly feeding weapons to israeil .It is and it will continue to do so. Imagine the hypocracy of USA
😂 If you think Isreal tells us what to do your 🤪. We police the world sense Europe cant seem to get off there rear. Crazy thought.
And iran has right to control the strait, god bless Iran
Pull the plug on Israel…problem solved!
США и Израиль парочка – Ефим да Дарочка….
circus
I was wondering why gas went back up today.
I solely blame the USA as the parent of a war criminal child.
So the BBC just reads the press releases of the Iran govt without at least doublechecking. It is easy to verify that many ships are passing thru the strait right now I just checked on the maritime shipping website.
Need facts checking…
Yes they drove out with a tiny speed boat and stopped the oil tanker from moving
never fails to disspoint.
