Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency reported Wednesday that the country is closing the Strait of Hormuz, less than a day after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement with Iran.
Fars said tanker traffic would come to a “complete stop,” citing what it described as Israeli violations of the ceasefire, including attacks in Lebanon. Israel has said it will continue operations in Lebanon, arguing it was not part of the agreement, a claim disputed by Iran.
The report said two ships were allowed to pass through the strait before Iran reversed course.

Serious question,
Does the last 24 hours not demonstrate that Iran has the higher leverage here not the orange?

Iran is teaching Pete Hegseth (and Trump and Netanyahu) the meaning of FAFO.

It looks a lot like Israel is purposefully sabotaging any avenues for the US to pull out in the hopes things escalate further.

Yeah, because Israel is the biggest threat to the people of the US. Not Iran

Correction: the biggest threat to humanity.

Israel will keep sabotaging any peace. That was the whole point. They need Forever War for their leaders to stay in power.

"Lebanon needs to be attacked because Iran attacks Israel via Hezbollah."
Lebanon ceasefire isn't part of Iran deal because it's a "separate skirmish."
...Why yes, of course I'm going to have my cake and eat it.

What likely happened was Iran and trump agreed it included Lebanon...
And Bibi gave some bullshit response that trump took as agreement because that's what he wanted to hear.
Like, Bibi has a long track record of "agreeing to a truce" and then just pretending it doesn't matter that he never stops.
Any idiot could see this coming, but trump isn't just any idiot, so he's genuinely shocked.

Holy shit. He fucking caved on everything, accomplished nothing, and he's still gonna fuck it up.

Just another POOTUS faux cease-fire.

They happened under Biden too...
The problem isnt the specific geriatric fuck sitting in the oval office, it's that anyone in that position dumb enough to think Israel is an ally is going to get fucked over.
Very few of our problems are because of trump, he's doing what lots of prior presidents have done, he's just completely inept at selling the lie.

Does this reignite Trump's ultimatum? Will there be a new ultimatum when the market closes?
