  • The Strait of Hormuz is still closed

    From Joseph Pereira@1:103/705 to All on Friday, March 13, 2026 05:02:29
    Whatever the true goal of the war was, closing the Strait of Hormuz by Iran was certainly not a goal of the US and Israel. In short, this war is a failure so far! Especially since Trump had indicated that the Strait was safe, after which Iran set fire to several oil tankers.

    According to secdef, it wasn't our fault the strait was dangerous - it
    was Iran's. Christ, it's like listening to kids complain that their
    actions "aren't their fault".
