Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz!
That alone would have sufficed… but today, they said: Bab-el-Mandeb is coming!
Two straits... One-fifth of the world's oil in the first, and one-tenth in the second!
One hand is pressing on the global economic heart — and squeezing mercilessly!
Trump set his deadline: 8 PM Washington time, 3 AM Tehran time.
He wanted to wake up alone to the result while others sleep, but Iran does not sleep!
Its president enrolled his name on the martyrdom lists, and fourteen million preceded him!
The youth are clustered around power stations — not because the regime ordered them, but because the plane that came to liberate them flew over their heads!
Nothing binds a people to a regime they hate like foreign bombing!
It's not philosophy, this is what's happening now as we comment!
Trump threatens: «An entire civilization will die tonight!»
Then he adds: «And maybe something wonderful will happen… who knows?!»
Two sentences in one post: the first a threat, the second searching for a way out!
A man who threatens does not say "who knows"!
Thirty-eight days of entangled voices…
Threatened to strike oil — and did not strike!
Threatened to open Hormuz — and Hormuz is still closed!
And now he threatens anew… and the mediators are moving without resolution, and Pakistan's truce was neither accepted nor had any effect.
Three wills in one room:
Pakistan proposes… Iran wants a complete end to the war with guarantees — not a temporary truce, and Trump says: I alone will announce ceasefire!
No one decides.
The strait is closed, oil surpasses a hundred dollars, ships are delayed an additional ten days per trip, and insurance companies have closed the Gulf files!
This is not a siege…
This is an organized draining of the world's artery on a single piece!
And Iran knows it holds the last card… and Trump knows that it knows!
Calculations collapse when someone acts as a man whose image was insulted before the world…
And the image worries Trump more than the strait itself!
An American plane crashed over Iran, and its pilot survived in what Trump described as "the most complicated in American history."
When rescuing a single pilot becomes a historic event, it's clear the war isn't going as promised.
The coming hours will not resolve anything:
Either a temporary truce Trump calls a victory!
Or an extension with a new label!
Or a strike that makes Bab-el-Mandeb a reality, not a threat!
In all cases, the straits have become weapons.
And who owns the weapons does not throw them away before getting their price…
And the price — has not yet been agreed upon!
Who owns the strait… does not just own the sea!
Who owns the strait… owns those who pass through it!
Who owns the strait… owns the decision!
Controlling the straits is the rule, and choking is the message!
