What triggered Trump's naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz?
Failed negotiations in Pakistan between the Trump regime and Iran. The Trump regime shows up and wants to change the 10-point negotiating framework that they previously agreed to as an inducement for the ceasefire taking place. Iran refused to change the 10-point negotiating framework. After 21 hours of negotiations, the talks were off. Apparently, there may still be some communications taking place, but Donald Trump is out there talking about obliterating Iran again and destroying their bridges and destroying the people there. Also, Donald Trump announced a full blockade of the Persian Gulf, at least as it relates to oil emanating from Iranian ports, although people who understand maritime law and maritime routes no that's pretty hard to identify so trump's plan to open up the strait of hormuz is to further close the straight up removes by adding yet another layer of a blockage there meanwhile we have donald trump posting that 34 ships got through the straight of her moves in the past 24 hours do you think that that's true
and because everything donald trump says is a lie at most there have been four ships which were all either aligned with iran or iranian flagships um but no real movement of ships going out of the strait of hormuz you know we're gonna keep monitoring what's happening with this blockade because you know what happens now as china sends its ships in order to get iranian oil what happens If India sends its ships, what happens if other countries send its ships? Will the U.S. truly enforce its blockade or will it do what it did with the blockade of Cuba? When Russians send ships into Cuba, the U.S. backed down and allowed the Russian ships to just get into Cuba.
How is Trump escalating tensions with Iran?
You also have announcements that the U.S. is getting ready to have mine sweepers enter the Persian Gulf and particularly the Strait of Hormuz. The US Navy is apparently moving in multiple minesweeping ships. As Donald Trump has behaved in perhaps the most deranged manner yet, we'll talk about that in a little bit as well, some of the posts that he's been making. know he's acting like iran's been totally obliterated is begging for anything to survive iran sent its top leaders to go to this uh negotiation or what it thought would be a negotiation in pakistan phds people who have been diplomats for a very long period of time they took it very seriously you know they have a lot of their missiles are still intact a lot of their fast ships are still intact
And so if this is truly going to be the plan that Donald Trump is pursuing, I think it's going to lead to confrontation very soon. And my hope is that's not the case. But if Donald Trump truly intends to enter the Strait of Hormuz area with military ships, Iran's going to go after it. And perhaps that's what Donald Trump wants. Perhaps he wants to use the ships as bait. You know, during those negotiations in Pakistan, The Trump regime tried to send two naval destroyers into the Strait of Hormuz, a ship belonging to the Iranian Navy. Yes, Iran still has ships, despite what Trump and some U.S.
What are the implications of Trump's feud with Pope Leo XIV?
media tells you. Reached the U.S. naval destroyers and said, turn around or we're going to blow you up. Thankfully, the U.S. naval destroyer turned around, but Iran was ready to attack the naval destroyer. What would have happened if that resulted in the naval destroyer being hit? You can imagine how quickly a war would escalate if that were to take place. As I see these minesweepers heading there, as I see this blockade, it seems that Trump is trying to bait Iran to attack US ships using our Navy and our soldiers as the bait to try to use that as a pretext for the obliteration of Iran that he wants. I think Iran realizes that, but we'll be, of course, focused on that. But pay very close attention there
pay very close attention to what's going on in the Red Sea and whether or not Iran will respond by trying to shut down the Strait over there. Now, I mentioned Donald Trump's been posting a bunch of deranged things. He posted AI images of himself as Jesus.
