Why is Donald Trump panicking over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz?
Donald Trump has been panicking all morning as the Strait of Hormuz is now closed. The IRGC Navy, Iran's top military command, has announced they are hereby closing the Strait of Hormuz as a result. of the United States and Israel's breach of the memorandum of understanding that was signed this past week by Donald Trump at Versailles. Israel has continued to escalate its attacks on Lebanon. Last night, another 20 or so people in Lebanon have been killed.
What prompted Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz?
That death toll continues to mount. Two days ago, Israel killed around 50 people in Lebanon. Southern Lebanon has been attacked relentlessly by Israel. Clause 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding very clearly says a complete and total ceasefire, which includes a cessation of Israel attacking Lebanon. I'm going to play for you in just a moment what the IRGC-NAVA, the SEPA Navy, just broadcasted as they closed down the Strait of Hormuz. But here is what Donald Trump is posting right now with all of this going on, with this potentially creating even more economic calamity. Here's what Donald Trump writes. Poll. Which do you prefer? Dumbocrat or Dumbocrat? In one case, you simply exchange the E for U. So simple and precise.
Many people don't know or assume that dumb ends in B. In the other case, you spell out dumb, but it seems to be losing some of the identity to Democrats when done this way. Which is better? Or he posts this. Funny how the Democrats like to say that Iran is in a stronger position today than they were three months ago, despite the fact that they had been defeated militarily with no Navy or Air Force. That's why I call them the Democrats, DJT. Let's play the audio of the SEPA Navy, the IRGC Navy, closing down the Strait of Hormuz, the Navy that Donald Trump says doesn't exist. Let's play this clip right now as the Strait of Hormuz has been closed. Let's play it.
How has Israel's military action affected Lebanon?
This is the 4th Navy, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard 4th Navy, due to the current of the failure of an army. and the violation of the U.S. commitments regarding the ceasefire. The State of Hormuz is closed to all vessels again. It is emphasized that the State of Hormuz is closed. All vessels are ordered to not approach
Now, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said the following, the first clause of the Memorandum of Understanding, namely ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, is the most important pillar of mutual commitments. While Iran has remained committed to its obligation, the other side was required to compel the Zionist regime to cease fire in Lebanon. By failing to do so, it has explicitly violated the agreement, although steps have been taken. Regarding the end of the naval blockade and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, this memorandum constitutes a single package. A violation of the first clause calls the entire agreement into question, and unless the other side immediately takes the necessary measures, the memorandum as a whole faces serious difficulties."
One of the things we also knew as well that was taking place, there was an uptick in the number of tankers sailing through the strait in both directions Thursday, but traffic pretty much dwindled on Friday as Israel escalated in Lebanon even more. Ships attempting to pass through the waterway said they were turned back by the Iranian Navy, the Wall Street Journal reports. Iran's Navy? I thought Donald Trump said they didn't exist and there are apocalyptic scenes right now out of southern Lebanon. But what's Donald Trump posting about this morning? Posts about Dr. Fauci. Biden administration buried a whistleblower complaint alleging Fauci lied to Congress during the pandemic. You're still attacking Dr. Fauci, a career public servant who dedicated his life to helping the American people.
That's what you're doing right now as the Strait of Hormuz is closed and as the American people are suffering. Or here's what Donald Trump posted this morning.
What does the Memorandum of Understanding entail for Israel and Iran?
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney asked over and over for a picture with me during the G7 meeting in France.
