Iran's military command says it has closed Hormuz again over US blockade

AP: Iran swiftly reversed course on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, warning that it would continue to block transit as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect.

Iran said Friday it fully reopened the Strait of Hormuz to commercial vessels, but U.S. President Donald Trump said the American blockade on Iranian ships and ports “will remain in full force” until Tehran reaches a deal with the U.S., including on its nuclear program.

Iranian officials said the blockade was a violation of last week’s ceasefire agreement between Iran and the U.S. The strait “will not remain open” if the blockade continues, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, posted on X early Saturday. Trump imposed the blockade earlier this week after Iran restricted traffic through the strait due to fighting in Lebanon, which Iran claimed was a breach of the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire. Trump later suggested a second round of direct US-Iran talks could happen this weekend.

While our national treasure is expended and wasted to keep the Military Industrial Complex in the green with obscene profits and also permitting ShitsHisPants to receive his cherished and corrupt kickbacks.

This djt Warmonger Show is like Reality TV. Keeping you on the edge of your seat so he can win the viewer ratings contest. Distract from the Epstein saga. And allows Team trDUMP to manipulate the stock market with this contrived ups and downs of the endless Dow/Jones roller coaster ride. As they rake in $$$$$$ billions upon billions in fraudulent insider trading transactions.

I am surprised trDUMP does not shit can jdvance and appoint Viktor Orban as his vice-president. They could then rape the US Treasury of every penny and dime this country has. Then move to Russia and play golf with Putie as they play Lords and Emperors of the world while being filthy rich beyond all human comprehensions or needs.

(I should not suggest that, they will adopt the idea as their life's quest blueprint. As they lead us to a deeper and more convoluted state of oblivion.)
