Chapter 1: What triggered Donald Trump's blockade announcement?
Donald Trump is panicking as his so-called blockade against Iran following his failed negotiations in Pakistan, it is backfiring in Donald Trump's face. Moments ago, Donald Trump made a social media post confirming that he has started a blockade of the Persian Gulf.
So Donald Trump's plan to open the Strait of Hormuz is to further close the Strait of Hormuz to all countries by the United States blocking the Persian Gulf. Now, CENTCOM says that the blockade only applies to Iranian ports. But if anybody understands the way maritime law works or understands the Persian Gulf, it's very hard to decipher which port the tankers are
technically leaving from based on the fact that they often make multiple stops. In any event, Donald Trump made a post announcing the blockade. He then got immediate responses from Iran, which says, if you do that, get ready. We will close the strait in the Red Sea as well. And nobody gets to come into the Persian Gulf if that's what you really want to do.

Chapter 2: How are Iran and China responding to Trump's blockade?
Pause there. Does that make any sense to you at all? You don't consider their fast ships, which have missiles on them, a threat? One of the main ways Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz is with those fast ships. So I just want to always fact check what Donald Trump is saying because it makes zero sense in any event. He goes, Pause. Pause.
You mean the fishing ships where you've engaged in war crimes. By the way, Donald, what are you going to do if a Chinese flagship or a Indian flagship enters into the Strait of Hormuz in order to get oil from Iran?
Chapter 3: What are the implications of maritime law in the Persian Gulf?
Are you going to blow up the... Indian ship, you're going to blow up the Chinese ship. You're going to blow up the Russian ship. The last time you claimed you were doing a blockade regarding Cuba, that Russian ship just went right by and right into Cuba. And you did absolutely nothing about it. By the way, the Iranian social media accounts are mocking Donald Trump right now.
They're like, you realize to do a blockade, it's more than a social media post. You got to come closer. Come closer, Donald, is what the Iranians are saying right now. Donald Trump just said it's quick and brutal how he's going to kill the Iranians. He said, P.S., 98.2% of drugs coming into the U.S. by ocean or sea have stopped. Thank you for your attention to this matter, DJT.
If this is supposed to be an effective strategy for negotiation, it just is not going to work. This is just not how human beings negotiate with human beings. Now, if you want to go to war, if you're going to make good on your threats and you want to put America in perpetual war with countries, I guess this is how you can talk like a tyrant, like an authoritarian, like a war criminal.
But in terms of negotiations, one of the reasons is It fails as Donald Trump goes in there and acts like a negotiation is a way to kill people. In fact, in Pakistan, Donald Trump had his sycophants make social media posts and write op-eds in American media threatening to kill the Iranian negotiators.
Also, Donald Trump changed the negotiating framework that he agreed to from Iran's 10-point plan, which Trump announced that he was in agreement with. to Donald Trump saying, well, you have to agree that you can control the Strait of Hormuz. You have to get rid of your missiles. You have to get rid of all of your uranium when Donald Trump previously agreed to the contrary.
So at least according to American media, Wall Street Journal and others citing a number of senior U.S. officials, but senior U.S. officials lie about everything. The U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is now in effect, and we're seeing and hearing Iran's response right away. Iran threatens Gulf ports as U.S. imposes naval blockade.
Iran's military spokesperson said that no port in the Gulf will be safe if Iranian ports were threatened. After U.S. military made this announcement that the blockade is in effect, security in the ports of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will either be for everyone or for no one. is what the spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard military saying.
The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran considers defending the country's legal rights a natural and lawful duty. Accordingly, exercising Iran's sovereignty in its territorial waters is the natural right of the Iranian people, is what Iran's military leaders say in response to Trump's blockade.
Based on this, ensuring security in Iran's territorial waters will continue decisively by its armed forces. As repeatedly stated, vessels affiliated with enemies are not permitted and will not be permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Other vessels may continue to transit provided they comply with the regulations set by Iran's armed forces.

Chapter 4: Why are Trump's military strategies being criticized?
The tankers affiliated with the United States and allies of the United States are not able to get through. The price of oil surges, inflation surges, and Americans suffer. And Donald Trump goes out and plays golf and behaves very weirdly. When all of this was going on, the failed negotiations because Trump and Vance and Witkoff and Kushner changed the negotiating framework.
Remember Donald Trump was at UFC and he was telling the fighters how handsome they were and how, you're so handsome. You're so, ooh, look how muscular you are. You're so good looking. Remember Donald Trump was doing that. And then over the weekend, he was at his golf course in Doral. Here's a video of like a lady going up to him and he's like, you want a picture? You want a picture?
Is that your husband over there? I mean, this is what the commander in chief of the United States is doing during a war where sensitive discussions are taking place. Here, play this clip. And by the way, he was also deranged in a very deranged matter. But what else is new? Posting all throughout the evening, post after post after post.
Harry Sisson did a list of what Donald Trump was posting like last night. He started around 10 p.m. with a Jesus photo of himself where Trump said that he was Jesus. and then posted like demons and like GI Joe characters in the back of him being Jesus. He posted Trump Tower on the moon, random news clips. attacks on Biden, random articles about ballrooms.
I mean, it just post after post after post. Meanwhile, his buddy Netanyahu says Israel is at the height of its power because we have alignment with the most powerful nation in the world. And together we have the capability to confront even the gravest threats is when Netanyahu also says the ceasefire could end very, very quickly. Meanwhile, uh,
in China, one of their top foreign policy spokespeople said the following. China is saying this. We are committed for peace and stability in the world, China's Minister of Defense, Admiral Dong Jun says. We are monitoring the situation in the Middle East. Our ships are moving in and out of the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. We have trade and energy agreements with Iran. We
We will respect and honor them and expect others to not meddle in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open to us. In other words, you can't block us. We are going good luck trying to block our ships.
So by Donald Trump saying that he's going to block the ships through the blockade, I just want you to think about what he's actually saying while he's out there golfing and doing whatever weird thing that is with whatever you saw there. you have China saying, okay, we don't acknowledge your blockade. You wanna shoot our ships, shoot our ships.
And that's what's gonna happen when Trump doesn't do it. And if Trump does do it, it's World War III. What are we doing here? And if there are opportunities to negotiate resolutions, you don't do it by saying, We've sunk 158 of your ships. We're going to kill you, you bastards. That's not maybe in your C-list movie. That's how you think negotiations happen.
