I’d be really surprised if Ali puts his rule on the line and incite regime change.
Hold my beer...
If the US is not averse to all-in naval war in the Gulf, then Iran (and all of us) are completely screwed anyway.
If the US balks at that, or can be restrained by international pressure, then Iran has a strong negotiating hand.
Or is it your opinion that Trump is not a psychopath?
{Please understand, Alan, that I'm arguing against the assumption that Trump is a rational actor, not against you.]
The Iranians are capable people. They can venture out of their own neighborhood. After all, isn't that exactly what Trumpelstiltskin has done?
They're too afraid of losing their seats to do their jobs.
If America is Oil Independent, (as they say we are) why are we still with OPEC?
If your answer is For Profit, your Correct!

A: EVERYONE WHO ISN’T Trump!?
One bad act leads to another.
Meanwhile, terrorist states such as Russian and North Korea, where there is legit proof that they have nuclear weapons, face no significant consequences or regime change.
Iran is unable to close the strait.
Confrontational Stance on Iran: Project 2025 advocates for a more confrontational approach to Iran, including the denigration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and advocacy for regime change.
This was the plan all along
Iran’s response is to F everyone else? How does that work out for them if they are successful for any length of time?
NOW WORLD DICTATOR tRUMPKIN REALLY MADE A MESS..
The Closure Of The Strait Of Hormuz Would Trigger A Swift, Severe, & Global Economic & Geopolitical Crisis With Widespread & Devastating Consequences. It Is Considered A "Suicidal Move" For Any Nation To Attempt A Prolonged Blockade.
We'll know if/when he decides to forgo the midterms
( e.g. martial law)
Hehehe, all part of the plan to raise oil prices and their profits.
Meanwhile, hard working Americans are wondering how they are possibly going to endure an even higher cost of living.
donald and his buddies will be just fine.
they've been knee-deep in oil futures since may 30.
(Side Note: Gas was $3.50 before Trump was sworn in)
