Iranian ports are fishing piers until we say otherwise. No mullah gunna nullifilah that.

Maybe the real master class is for us to keep the strait closed too, squeezing china even more.

Another massive change from "before" to "after" is that before this erupted, Iran never really saw control over the Strait as a realistic strategy for them; they were too afraid of the blowback. Now that they've seized control with nothing more than drones, mines, and speedboats, they have come to realize that control over the Strait gives them almost as much, if not more, leverage than their nuclear program ever did.

You see the location of one of the two ships struck today? Just a couple miles from the Emirati coast, clear across the Gulf from Iranian territory.

It’s not a massive change. The world is intentionally not helping Trump.

Let Iran close the straight after the dust is clear of this event and see how fast the whole world responds.

It is helpful they feel they have new found control, and will hopefully help them settle on a deal faster.

Trump is lying to the American people. How the deal was so close, how Iran had basically agreed to everything. Now Iran saying they are no where close to an agreement.

Only one side is manipulating the stock market for personal gain and grifting.

Oh nooo. Those sweet mullah mayhem masters would never do anything like that to maintain power or privilege.

We’re both going to suffer if that happens. Which government do you think is going to be able to hold out longer as energy costs skyrocket? Which infrastructure is better suited to weather energy shocks? I wouldn’t put too much stock in the idea that we’d come out ahead in the scenario you describe.

They getting a little squirmy realizing it’s the last deal they ever make with so little leverage after this. BTW who is Iran?

Soft but resourceful. Alternately kind and brutal. I wouldn’t want to fight us. Not if I didn’t have to.

You’re right we’ll print our way out and just hyper inflate so we can survive 10/ at the pump. I wouldn’t mess with us either, but no we won’t out last an economic crisis. Particularly self induced
