Iran 🇮🇷 must have MUTUAL ASURE DESTRUCTION POLICY
wait did he say our military option is after there is stable peace…
I don't see where the problem is, the strait is open, just pay the transit fee.
Will this be as riveting as Yvette Cooper's conference call?
Nobody listens to what France says anymore. You are less than a paper tiger. You are a surrender monkey.
The French and English trying to help They should speak to the Iranians kindly and forget the zionist and friends. Great move to mantain peace and eliminate fascism
Playing good cops, bad cops to get Iran to cooperate. Israel and USA playing the bad cops and UK and France playing the good cops. They pretending 'they going to hold back Trump and Netanyahu, hurry up and sign to open up the strait of Hormuz , otherwise you will get destroyed'.
When Iran surrenders the blockade will end. Europe has no say whatsoever. It will probably last until Trump visits China.
Why does France need Iran's permission? Sail your ships through, and if they are attacked, then handle your business.
France and Britain are cowards. They agree to pay ranson to Iran.
The French were bragging they got a ship though. LMAO
Forcing iran to open Hormuz is the same as Forcing Europe to open Border for Ilegal Immigrant. You cant forcing Nation when they trying to protect their Sorvereign
The British definitely dodged a bullet and we got the French on our side (finally). 😊
Just do what the pope did. Ignore Trump’s sandbox antics & do what’s best for the region, peace. Before Trump & Bibi you had it!
The problem is Chucky Cheese. He created this problem, he is furthering this problem. He needs to pay for his crimes. Hold him accountable.
Who they are, neither connected to Hormuz nor anything else
