Iranian state media is reporting that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, which have continued today.
Israel has said a ceasefire struck between the U.S. and Iran late yesterday doesn’t include its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, where it launched its largest co-ordinated strike in the war to date.The Lebanese Health Ministry said 112 people have been killed today.
Most stranded oil and gas tankers remained inside the Persian Gulf.
I think this is a good move by Iran. Maybe, just maybe, just maybe this might motivate the rest of the planet to also put pressure on Israel. Just for the record, the rest of the planet should not need any motivation to be putting pressure upon Israel and their genocidal activities
what i don’t understand is why the rest of the middle east puts up with them.
I don’t know the actual conversations but can anticipate that it’s simply the easiest thing to do, and as ever, we will each be under threat by the US, if we do not bend over for them
Trusting Iran is a bit like trusting Putin, they can open and close this strait 100 times depending on how good their shit was this morning. Then Trump has to react, then they open it up again. Oh no something happened we don’t like, strait closed etc forever.
Seems like that playbook.
