Blockading it? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago (1 child) Iran is making money by sending its own ships through the strait. So trump wants to block them to weaken Iran. Every analyst I've seen talkjng about Iran has mentioned this as an option, but all of them have added that it's such a stupid idea that it's unlikely an option due to the further impact on oil, fertilizer, helium, etc. prices.. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 4 points 4 months ago (1 child) I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of this all. Since the Trump admin has been saying one of their highest priorities is opening the Straight (that they caused to be closed in the first place) and then they are going to do the one thing that closes it even more. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de [S] 2 points 4 months ago Hey, if you don't stop hitting yourself, then I'll hit you. permalink fedilink source parent
