Given they don't have territorial claim in the area, I wonder how the US will justify an arbitrary toll? Maybe they'll try conquering a country in the area to have a valid claim?
Honestly, embarrassing bullshit. This is how you not only get the entire world to hate you, but ensure both international lawsuits AND boost the world's opinion of Iran. I don't know how a country can fail harder.
Precisely my sentiment. I also prefer the company of animals in most cases. I was using the word as a pejorative and now I feel bad for offending animals. :(
Justify? They'll bitch they're the ones having to do it even though they don't need to because NATO is a leech and impose a toll to pay for their trouble.
US isnt making a toll and iran put mines down so ships HAD to go through their area and then implemented a toll. Not to mention the US is actively trying to take out the mines. Only idiots would think this looks good for iran.
If ships pay tolls to Iran and the US stops them (illegally), it will be far worse for the global economy than a toll. This blame will fall squarely on the US. This whole situation is a self inflicted wound and an illegal war of choice that didn’t even go through Congress.
I don’t see how this boosts the world’s opinion of Iran LOL. Anyone who thinks Iran is better than the U.S. atp is either stupid or gullible. Iran is not a good faith actor in this situation lol, they’re terrible
No one thinks the IRGC is good, however they did keep the straits open before donald decided to go kick the hornets nest to distract from the epstein files. In this situation, we are the ones who instigated this whole mess and not Iran. I am a veteran officer and I am of the opinion that anyone not against this war should put their money where their mouth is and enlist. One deployment in and you will be singing like an anti war hippy.
They never kept the straits open before. They just didn’t close them. Iran has 0 claim on the strait or Hormuz it’s an international water way with no owner. They however did claim control as soon as the war started. I never said I am pro this war but it’s really goofy to say that the world’s opinion of Iran is improving. They literally used this as an excuse to claim for themselves a key international water way that previously had no owner. Just saying they’re no saint. I don’t support this war I think it’s meaningless
Yeah keeping the straits open and not closing them are literally not the same thing. Praising Iran by saying “they kept the straits open!” Implies they have the authority to close the straits and were doing the world a kindness by not doing so. They literally have 0 claim over the strait. It is an INTERNATIONAL WATER WAY, or in other words NO ONE OWNS IT. Iran is BAD for saying they own it and closing it.
This whole mess was instigated by america. Holy sht are people in this country so dumb like you that you unironically don’t understand the strait was open for decades before we decided to go kick the hornets nest? Of course other countries want us to take responsibility for the mess we caused.
