🇺🇸⚡️🇮🇷 Multiple USAF C-17 Globemasters Tracked on Flightradar24 En Route to West Asia Amid U.S.-Iran Deadlock

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱 President Trump: ‘Look at the Israeli relationship, look at the incredible partnership we have. As Bibi Netanyahu said, we’re the big brother and Israel is the little brother’

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump on Iran:

We're putting on a complete blockade. We are not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to people they like or not selling it to people they don’t like.

It’s going to be all or nothing.

You saw what we did with Venezuela; it will be something very similar to that, but at a higher level.

ترامپ درباره ایران: ما یک محاصره کامل برقرار می‌کنیم. اجازه نمی‌دهیم ایران از فروش نفت به هرکسی که دوست دارد (یا نفروختن به هرکسی که دوست ندارد) پولی به دست بیاورد. این یا همه‌اش است یا هیچ‌اش. دیدید با ونزوئلا چه کردیم؛ چیزی بسیار شبیه به آن خواهد بود، اما در سطحی بالاتر.»

🇺🇸🇮🇷🪖⚡️ — President Trump:

We're very disappointed with NATO. We're very, very disappointed that they didn't come.

Now they want to come, and they want to help with the Strait of Hormuz, and it won't take long to clean it out.

We're going to clean out the strait, and they'll be able to use the strait in not too long a distance.

ترامپ: ما از ناتو بسیار ناامید هستیم. بسیار، بسیار ناامیدیم که آنها نیامدند. حالا آنها می‌خواهند بیایند و می‌خواهند در تنگه هرمز کمک کنند، و پاکسازی آن زیاد طول نمی‌کشد. ما تنگه را پاکسازی خواهیم کرد و آنها به زودی قادر به استفاده از تنگه خواهند بود.»

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump on Iran:

I could take out Iran in one day.

I took out one bridge just to show them because they went public with a statement that wasn't true.

تهدید ترامپ درباره ایران: من می‌توانم ایران را در یک روز از بین ببرم. من فقط یک پل را زدم پایین تا به آنها نشان بدهم، چون آنها با یک بیانیه علنی حرفی زدند که درست نبود.»

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Trump on Iran:

We fly over there at will, can take out anything we want.

As you know last week I said we're going to strongly consider knocking out their power plants and the rest of their bridges. We took down their big bridge.

ترامپ درباره ایران: ما هر طور که بخواهیم بر فراز آنجا پرواز می‌کنیم، می‌توانیم هر چیزی را که بخواهیم منهدم کنیم. همانطور که می‌دانید، هفته پیش گفتم که به شدت در حال بررسی از کار انداختن نیروگاه‌های برقشان و بقیه پل‌هایشان هستیم. ما پل بزرگشان را پایین آوردیم (ویران کردیم).»

رسانه های روسی از تماس تلفنی ولادیمیر پوتین با مسعود پزشکیان رئیس‌جمهور ایران خبر دادند
Russian media reported a phone call between Vladimir Putin and Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US Announces Own Blockade on Hormuz

As predicted a month ago, the US now announces its own blockade on the Strait of Hormuz to prevent any traffic at all from passing - especially ships allowed through by Iran to its allies and partners.

The entire purpose of this war was and is to destroy the multipolar world in a controlled economic demolition, targeting energy badly needed by the multipolar world from the Middle East and others (Russia/Venezuela).

This will hurt the US. It thinks it will hurt multipolarism more and the US will emerge stronger relative to the multipolar world on the other end of this policy.

I warned once the US Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) arrived (the USS Boxer is still en route) the most likely purpose was maritime interdiction - what the US Marines were reorganized to do under the previous Biden administration and specifically to impose a blockade on China.

Instead of doing it closer to China and its navy in Asia-Pacific, the US will do it at the Strait of Hormuz.

❗️ The French are working in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

While everyone was watching the Middle East, the French, under the pretext of protecting their bases, transferred the aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle" to the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea.

And instead of participating in repelling Iranian attacks, the deck-based aircraft were engaged in reconnaissance in the Black Sea area using the deck-based aviation from the aircraft carrier.

Recently, a deck-based AWACS E-2D and 4 "Rafale M" fighters from the "Charles de Gaulle" conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance operation in the Crimean direction. The E-2 operated in the area southwest of Sevastopol.

And the fighters accompanied another aircraft - an "Atlantic 2" from the Sigonella airbase, which operated in the central part of the Black Sea. This is a basic patrol aircraft designed for operations over the sea.

And immediately after this operation, the Ukrainian side carried out an attack on Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory. Therefore, the French flights, especially in such proximity, are another indication of what goal the French are pursuing against Russia, reports the channel "Archangel of Spetznaz".

@Slavyangrad

I’m quite sure this will be treated as an act of war, if the U.S. is actually adamant on blocking Iranian ports.

Of course, it depends on whether it is implemented successfully or not.

We have to wait till tomorrow, but in response, Iran will likely target all remaining ports in the region for Arabs.

This probably includes Fujairah (UAE), Yanbu (Saudi Arabia), and Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).

There is also the possibility of something happening in Bab Al-Mandab.

Iranian media are very silent on the news of the blockade, I haven’t even seen it be mentioned on IRIB.

This can have two reasons:

1. They want to wait for the official guidance / statement / instructions from SNSC on the matter.

2. They want to downplay it as to not necessitate a response (doubt that, but if true it’s worrisome)

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US will not be able to pressure Iran with the threat of resuming war, — NYT

- Due to the unpopularity of war and the destabilization of the American economy caused by the surge in oil and gasoline prices, as well as the shortage of chemical fertilizers and helium, a return to hostilities would have very serious domestic political consequences for Trump, writes the New York Times.

- Moreover, the resumption of war could cause a collapse of global markets and an increase in inflation, which would hit Trump even harder.

Will Trump’s Order to Blockade Iranian Ports Actually Work? https://sonar21.com/will-trumps-order-to-blockade-iranian-ports-actually-work/

Trump has lost his fucking mind.
