Funny, four ships hit in the Strait, Fanta tin-can goes: nah, the Strait is open and business as usual……. REALLY??!
Apply sanctions and Russia should stop support to iran
Cripple them with sanctions from all 4 sides
Let's see how they survive
The Strait of Hormuz is now at half open/closed to honor the death of Lindsey Graham.
The only thing that is stopping Trump from eradicating the IRGC is that he does not want to renege on his promise of "no boots on the ground". FAFO!
And at the moment Germany is spectating as always
Trump says open to cheat europeans but it's a mistake to believe him, cause at the end, we'll have a big energy crisis.
The sea ⛵ 🌊 is Open
well, guess who is the pathological liar.
On one side you have people who think that they’d enjoy once they die and on the other side you have a guy who used to sell apartments for a living. Who would you believe in this situation??
If Trump allows it to be open, it means Iran is getting super rich by collecting tariffs (taxes and fees) and toll boot tokens; gold, silver, uranium, US cash. Great, Iraniens can now eat, go shopping, and build nuclear warheads with enriched uranium.
You can go to marine traffic and see alone that is closed.
The strait is clopen.
Trump, if you are paying attention to your base, please consider our desire for complete erasure of of Iranian terrorism and control of Hormuz.
Legs open; hands closed! Hiw about that?😂😂😂😂😂
Hormuz remains open to marine life. All ships continue to be targets and at huge risk, potential for Iranian attacks remains high. Trump has failed with his peace negotiations. Time to put your Ink pen back in your pocket and unleash the American military.
Alot of factors the public and news organizations do not know. Pray Jesus to see another day and all this will ah out
Openly closed
Lol. Phones
All this will play out
The cause and foundation of the problems is Italy and France Paris and America in jesus mighty names Amen,,,, salam Aleikum,,,,, wa Aleikum salam
everyone thinks oil and closing the transport through there is Iran's "trump" card, no pun intended. Cutting the data cables that run through the straits is the nuclear option in a sense; they can blind CENTCOM in the region and take the regional states stock markets and access off the board. all it takes is a dragged anchor, a drone sub, or similar attack vectors.
the answer seems to be yes but witch one XD
Trump is a lying liar that lies a lot, so Iran is the most credible source. The strait is most likely closed for business.
If iran says its closed its closed
It's rather more of a disruption of the Strait's maritime traffic because if Iran could control the Strait's opening and closing, the situation would have been much more difficult for the US. Nevertheless, the US must keep the Strait of Hormuz open despite Iranian disruption attempts; this may be an expensive operation, but it helps the US in this crisis.🫤
Doesn’t matter what Iran and the US say, who matters are the ship owners and their insurers.
Who ya gonna believe, the terrorist nation bordering the Strait that has attacked civilian shipping, or the terrorist nation 7,000 miles away that has attacked civilian shipping?
Would anyone walk across firing range based on Trump saying it is safe?
God bless dw 🤍🙏🏻
Teach jesus christ teachings to everyone 🤍🙏🏻
Iran think Hormuz is belonging of IRGC and Islam Republic of Iran😂😂😂😂😂😂, I remind Iran that Hormuz is internation navigation and open for all of commercial vessels from and to Middle East countries. Absolutely, I support Trump fully, if Iran refuse Trump annoucement, then fight against Trump, no deal at all
The lslamic rep of Japan , have sent Godzilla to keep the Strait closed 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Trump opened statement is more stock market manipulation .
DW stop feeding the false narrative…the Strait is closed…
Trump can not say that Hormuz is closed again. It will blow his image. All his bragging is that he opened the Hormuz. The man can deny anything if necessary. Such a bloody loser!
