Trump is panicking, such a sure sign of being a strong man and in control. 🤣

He is too stupid, too egotistical and too unstable to be trusted.

The Easter morning social-media tantrum was 100% a performance for his base. I guarantee everyone in Iran government who saw it, promptly muttered "what an utter dipshit" and didn't change their plans one iota.

The deadline was supposed to be today. I guess he extended it without admitting.

But, he told his allies it would be so easy to do. He couldn't have lied to them?

Of course everyone expects TACO, some measures that inevitably backfire, but honestly, this may be short sighted. If they strap a nuke onto ICBMs and shoot them anywhere that they thinks blocks the passage, that would "work". It would be insane and with immesurable bad consequences, but Iran would face hell and probably stop holding the passage closed.
