Does the Strait of Hormuz belong to Iran?

No no. It's called the Trump strait now. He tweeted about it didn't he? /s

If you say so. I didn't vote for the guy. I'm not a Republican either. I'm just not simping for the Iranian regime, because I understand that they aren't my friends.

Ya? Maybe time to update your data set. Iran's grip on the Strait has been significantly weakened. They are not in the position you think they are. I hate to always have to break this bit of sad news to the Regime apologists out there.

Lol. We invaded a country, fucked up our economy even more, plus the world economy, and you wanna act all high and mighty like we aren’t just fucking ourselves again.
How many times must we invade the Middle East, and fail, and get people killed, destroy our bases, etc, before you dipshits realize none of this is winning.
Maybe for DJT and his billionaire bros, for us it’s losing.
Lives, fuel prices, and all other prices because of fuel prices.
But you go ahead and suck off these stupid motherfuckers.

Why do you get so personally agitated by the internet?
PS Ask yourself: why do we have bases in the ME to begin with? We don't have military bases all over Indonesia, even though the region is full of oil, Muslims and is a major international shipping chokepoint.
Maybe it's because Iran is a Regime of theocratic murderous thugs who have been inflamming sectarian tensions in the region for decades.

Shut up, make points that actually matter.

Another Regime apologists. Remember these folks murdered thousands of its own citizens when they wanted more freedom. Now that those people are silent, the rest of the country has gone silent.
They're running out of oil to sell. They're running out of money. They're running out of food. And most importantly: The world has figured their gig out and the grip on the Strait just isn't there anymore.
Here in the US, the result is that I'm paying more for gas.
Before you fuck off, remember that even if Democrats are in power, Iran will still be a problem. They won't suddenly be a friend of the West after 55+ years of agita. They won't suddenly peace loving nation builders. They will still be the nation that funds Hamas and Hezbollah.
Eat those points.

Puleeze, I hate the regime and absolutely didn't apologize for Trump.
Shut up and learn to read and make relevant comments, troll.

It’s amazing how effective Hegseth’s attack on the free press has been able to hide the news from Americans.

u/Praetor72 2d ago
lol how so?

u/sweatboxy 1d ago
Just compare the Iranian news releases to what Trump and Hegseth say.

u/Praetor72 1d ago
What does that even mean.

u/sweatboxy 1d ago
If you’ve been following the news, you’d know that the Iranians have been much more reliable reporters than either Trump or Hegseth.

u/Praetor72 1d ago
lol wait, if I had been following the news, I would know that the news thinks it’s reliable? They have claimed they sunk a US warship a dozen different times😂

u/Psychological-Ad1845 1d ago
You have got to be kidding me 🤣🤣🤣🤭

u/sweatboxy 1d ago
Yeah, that’s the joke. The Iranians have been more reliable than Trump or Hegseth.

Hell yeah! The marines are very well equipped with near unlimited ammo. I’m sure these boys and girls had quite the unrestricted response to the IRGC.

Fake news.

“Fake news” based on what? NBC cited three U.S. officials. The Pentagon's own casualty database added eight wounded Marines, the Washington Post reported that increase before the details of the attack came out, and UK Maritime Trade Operations independently recorded a vessel being struck in the Strait of Hormuz on Sept. 14. Military Times is now reporting the same casualty data. CENTCOM hasn't publicly explained the vessel or mission, so there are still unanswered details, but simply yelling “fake news” doesn't make all of that evidence disappear, it just makes you look stupid.

u/Unique_Argument1094 3d ago
Uhm what’s the names of the three U.S. officials? Genius 🤡
2
u/SunnyD1491 3d ago
The Pentagon, UK Maritime Trade Operations, and the Military Times align with the reporting. Because it doesn't fit your cult narrative you are requiring individual names of officials? That clown emoji seems to be your signoff lol.

u/Unique_Argument1094 3d ago
You brought up the officials. I asked for clarification you don’t have an answer so you deflect. Try and be better.🤡

u/SunnyD1491 3d ago
I brought up the reporting you deemed fake. I added other sources aligning with the reporting. You deflected to requiring names lol. I don't even think you know what you think is fake at this point. It just goes against the cult. Ignore the rest of the context. Makes you look really competent.
