It is enough for Iran to resist to win.

It costs Trump more than 3 billion dollars a day not to want to accept that it was Netanyahu who has put the reins on him and has led him, riding on him, to get into a hornet's nest from which he is eager to escape, but from which he cannot leave without a victory, of whatever kind, but to leave, at least, without losing his dignity and his pants.

And, for the moment, we continue with the Strait of Hormuz, closed when previously it was open for business until the Orange gob$hite stepped in.

With the Arab countries in the area, receiving punishment from which they will take years to recover and frightened seeing what is coming upon them. With the whole world watching the crisis, with prices and inflation impoverishing everyone. With the Chinese exhausting their patience and with the MAGA goons to see what their idol is spending money they need on.

And the only one that is gaining something is the promoter of all this tremendous mess: Israel.

Thank you, Mr. Trump, you are screwing us all up, on the whim of your friend Netanyahu. Pfhuck Israel.
America is making money hand over fist as the blockade on Iran has supertankers queing up to load American oil. It costs them nothing to keep the blockade on until Iran has run out of oil storage, money, food and power, and it won't be long before they do.

Incidentally, has Iran got a leader yet, or are they all afraid of topping the IDF to do list ?
