President Trump says he will suspend planned military strikes on Iran for two weeks contingent on Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz

Trump told the biggest lies he could trying to bully Iran into submission. We will destroy your whole civilization, never to be heard from again. We know only nukes can do that. Trump cannot get away from his childish bullying.
Lots of people are no longer afraid of him. They think"here he goes again".

Iran controls the Strait, fact, what once was free international water is now Iran’s, thanks Trump

Facts, facts don’t have ideology

Out nation’s President has been embarrassed, he couldn’t bomb Iran into surrendering so now he is stuck, the greatest power in the world is stuck in a quagmire of its own making, humiliating

You don't deal in facts. You are spokesman for the Theocratic Dictatorship of Iran.

It was 19 today - normal traffic is about 100.

It is expected to pick up tomorrow - but there is still fear your side will engage in piracy on the high seas.

The psychomullah regime is not a religion. It’s a satanic death cult.
They use women and children as human shields and SUICIDE bombers!
They’ve gunned down tens of thousands of their own citizens.
They are criminal sadists!
Negotiations are a waste of time.
They are sociopaths and need to be exterminated like all other sociopath serial killers with no regard for human life.

Same goes for the psychonationalists. Kill'em all!

White Nationalists are as evil as the IRGC. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Iran Can Strike Back in Hormuz. And It Could Decide Everything.​



Operation Epic Fury, aka Operation Roaring Lion, i.e., the joint U.S.-Israeli military operation against the Islamic Republic of Iran (Jomhuri-ye Eslâmi-ye Irân) has been underway for 1.5 months, and is currently manifesting itself as a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz imposed by U.S. President Donald John Trump that brings to mind (1) John F. Kennedy’s blockade of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 (although, for legalistic reasons, it was technically termed a “quarantine” instead of a “blockade”) and (2) Abraham Lincoln’s blockade of the Confederate states as part of the so-called “Anaconda Plan” during the American Civil War.

However, although Iran’s military forces—the regular forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, aka Sepah or Pasdaran) alike—have been degraded, they’re not dead yet.

What tools does the Iranian regime still have at its disposal to try to break Trump’s (and the U.S. Navy’s) blockade?

Iranian Threat Vector #1: Midget Submarines, aka Minisubs​


Notorious drunkard Pete Hegseth stated that “their submarines – they once had 11 – are gone.” He was specifically referring to Iran’s minisubs.

However, the World Directory of Modern Military Warships (WDMMW) reported at the beginning of the year that the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN) actually had a total of 21 midget submarines, not just 11. Ergo, if we take Secretary Hegseth’s quoted statistic at face value, that still leaves ten Iranian minisubs in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Threat Vector #2: Naval Mines​

Regarding those minelaying capabilities (whether via submarine or surface warship), during an April 8, 2026, press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that “97% of Iran’s once massive inventory of more than 5,000 naval mines has also been targeted and destroyed.”

Of course, that may not be true.

Even it it is, and that has never been confirmed, the remaining 3 percent still comes out to 150 mines, and with an estimated 15 USN warships enforcing the blockade, that averages out to 10 surviving mines per vessel.

Iranian Threat Vector #3: Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles (ASBMs)​

Even with the severe degradation of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers and production facilities, these remain a very real threat, particularly the ASBM subcategory.

Iranian Threat Vector #4: Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles (ASCMs)​

According to the Strauss Center for International Security and Law, “Iran has acquired a number of Chinese ASCM models ” perhaps 100 Seersuckers, 125 Sardines and 75 Saccades, and perhaps more. There are also reports that Iran acquired the Russian SS-N-22 Moskit, also known as the Sunburn.


If you doubt that Iran can still fight, let your sailors find out. Come closer....

How many women and children were killed or will die due to dehydration, a lack of hospital care, and other damages to infrastructure? How much of your and my taxes are going to support Trump's war?

Don't give me the "to stop nuclear weapons" line unless your next statement is "We'll go after North Korea next".

This fight is to maintain the US empire which guarantees your standard of living. The war with Iran was going to happen whether now or when China invades Taiwan and they enter on the side of China. We might as well get them off the board now.

As to the deaths I maintain it is up to Iran to protect its own civilians. They chose to only invest in offensive weapons with very little defensive ones. Thats their right as a a soverign state. They have to live with the consequences of that.

Bullshit. It's reducing our standard of living. Your Orange War Hero is weakening the US on the global stage and effectively letting Russia have Europe, China all of Asia so he can entertain the fantasy of making the Western Hemisphere an American hegemony.

Protect their innocent citizens from American bombs? WTF? Only MAGAts are stupid enough to believe Iran would commit national suicide by using a nuke against the US.
