Why did Trump announce the surrender of the Strait of Hormuz?
Donald Trump has already caved. Donald Trump is surrendering again. Project Freedom is now over. It lasted under 24 hours.
What was the significance of Project Freedom and its abrupt end?
Yes, Donald Trump has folded. Yes, it is Taco Tuesday, everybody. Donald Trump just posted the following, saying he's shutting down that Project Freedom where he claimed he would be escorting ships. In the Strait of Hormuz, he said the U.S. was putting all of its Navy behind it, all of its naval power. And Donald Trump also said this was the single greatest military maneuver in the history of the United States military. He said that in the past 24 to 48 hours. Now, here's what Donald Trump just posted moments ago. Based on the request of Pakistan and other countries, the tremendous military success that we've had during the campaign against the country of Iran, and additionally, the fact that great progress has been made toward a complete and final agreement with representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that while the blockade will remain in full force and effect,
Donald J. Trump, as one commentator noted, So he's cease-firing. The unilateral ceasefire, he declared. Now, Jeremy Satchel at Dropsite News said, an Iranian official told me that Donald Trump's post just now is riddled with falsehoods and his operation to liberate the Hormuz Strait. failed completely. Quote, we will not participate in direct negotiations until the United States formally announces the end of the blockade, said the official, and Donald Trump has backed down and he has caved. Now also, a source very close to Iran's head of parliament, MB Galibaf, posted the following. CENTCOM has failed in presenting any type of operational initiative to open the Strait of Hormuz. An American destroyer has been attacked by unknown agents, and three destroyers are adrift.
The Strait of Hormuz is completely closed. vessel passes through it. Trump's hasty operations have increased the risk of vessel passage and have effectively blocked the Strait entirely. In terms of timing, the Strait's closure for another three weeks will create the most unprecedented economic and political crisis in the world, especially within America. So MB Galibaf, Iran's parliament leader, put that out. Then Donald Trump announces surrender. And then MB Galibaf's source then says, or MB Galibaf's proxy says, Trump halts his plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz after failing to confront Iran.
How did Trump's military claims regarding the Strait of Hormuz change?
So on state regime media, which called itself Fox, they had to grapple with this. Oh, we were just talking Talking up Operation Project Freedom. And we were saying this was the greatest military endeavor in the history of the United States. And it was going to escort all of these ships. We had all these people saying that this was the greatest thing. And Trump was really in it this time. And he was not going to cave. And he was super serious this time. So watch what happened on Jesse Waters as Donald Trump admitted complete surrender. Let's play this clip.
Fox News alert. The president says, based on the request of Pakistan and other countries, we have mutually agreed that while the blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the agreement can be finalized and signed. We suspect the president is letting the Iranians save face. The enemy just yesterday said they controlled the Strait. That was obviously a lie. And watching the Americans escort ship after ship out of the Gulf and them not being able to do anything about that was gonna be humiliating. Not only were they gonna lose whatever military prestige they had left in the region, their negotiators weren't gonna be able to fight for their position after they lost their last bargaining chip.
The commander-in-chief must believe that the Iranians are serious about surrendering if he's going to pause Project Freedom for the sake of a deal. Because you could also continue Project Freedom during the negotiations. You know, you do want to get these foreign ships moving. The president must know what he's doing.
