Quote:

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn't a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can't build the nuclear bomb they weren't building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn't start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Tehran wants quick access to its frozen funds.

This is an issue on which Iran is likely to negotiate the hardest.

For Trump, a decision to free iran's assets up front likely would generate comparisons to his own attacks on the obama administration for flying cash into Tehran after the nuclear accord was implemented in 2016.

The Art of the Deal.

Stay tuned.

That might not the most contentious issue, because a third party backdoor through the Gulf countries can be worked out to save face. The item that is most likely to derail a settlement is Lebanon, Iran requiring the Israelis to cease bombing that country and evacuate the southern part they occupy.

Resignation of Masoud Pezeshkian
Current Status
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has officially submitted his resignation letter to the Supreme Leader. This decision comes amid significant tensions with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which has reportedly gained more power within the government.
Reasons for Resignation
  • Loss of Authority: Pezeshkian cited a diminishing role for the presidency as the IRGC has increasingly taken control over key governmental functions.
  • Political Pressure: The political landscape in Iran has become more challenging, with hardline factions within the IRGC sidelining moderate voices in the government.
Implications
Pezeshkian's resignation reflects deeper issues within Iran's political structure, including:
  • Internal Divisions: There are growing concerns about the cohesion of the government, as various factions vie for power.
  • Impact on Governance: The shift in power dynamics may hinder diplomatic negotiations and the implementation of government policies.
This resignation marks a significant moment in Iran's political landscape, highlighting ongoing struggles between reformist and hardline elements within the government.

Good news everybody. Trump says we are 2 to 3 days away from a deal with Iran. Surely Trump would not say something so important if it was not going to happen. We can rejoice.

And just 15-minutes earlier this morning . . . a 100% DELUSIONAL post from 47.



Remember his Easter Sunday post about the Strait of Hormuz just two months ago?

It was working okay until the IRGC attacked the blockade. Hence, we now have problems.

Working okay?

Yes, IRAN is getting more oil out of the Persian Gulf.

7 million barrels total so far this month.
This already matches the total volume of crude loaded and shipped in April and May!

The country's observed shipments are on track to exceed the previous 2 months as more vessels flow out of Hormuz loaded with its oil.
