Strait of Hormuz now open?

[Ayers]

International nuclear agencies and US intelligence agencies have not been able to provide any reliable evidence against Iran, which is close to developing nuclear weapons. Donald Trump has attacked Iran by relying solely on Netanyahu and at his instigation. Kamala Harris the leader contesting the US election from the Democratic Party, has called the Iran war a "bullshit". Israel and the US administration have long tried to confront Iran's influential religious leaders politically. As part of that, they killed many influential leaders. They selectively killed military leaders and nuclear scientists. But in no way could these two powerful countries remove Iran from its nuclear program. Although they promoted that they had no option but to use force, Israel and America started the war mainly because they could not confront Iran politically.

Well, they did not provided any proof back in Iraq times either. About 20-25 years ago give or take, they did attacked Iraq, and killed or wounded over a million people, A MILLION PEOPLE! and create a vacuum so big after they left that ISIS actually took over and destroyed thousands of years worth of artifacts, enslaved people, and killed everyone.

So it is not a shock that USA would attack a nation, for no reason, make up a lie, take their oil, and leave behind a much worse place. They have done this multiple times, and it is not a news to me. The first bomb was dropped when I realized they have no interest regards to nukes, or regime, or anything, all they wanted was oil, that's it. And that is why do not EVER consider USA as good guys, they never are.

In fact, the US has accused Iran of wanting to possess nuclear weapons since 1980, not just recently. But interestingly, after decades, they have never provided any evidence to substantiate their accusation

Or just as they intervened in Venezuela under the pretext of combating drug trafficking. But then, as the whole world know, after successfully capturing Maduro, what they really did was exploit oil and make billions of dollar.

It can be said that these are all just excuses. The primary objective of the US in most of its invasions of other nations has been oil and natural resources. Or protecting the petrodollar empire, nothing more.

In reality, they are the terrorist and dictator of this world, not the nations they invaded.

Yes almost everyone has the same opinion about U.S. that's why majority of the countries now raise their voice against this war. However the war has taken a new turn, Strait of Hormuz now become challenging for both countries. Basically the war is not about the nuclear weapons but indirectly a way to get control over  the resources of Iran. Looking current scenario it feels like war prospective shift from resources to Strait of Hormuz now. Because no one knows it's value before the conflicts. Every day new prices of oil create stress globally.Their conflicts disturbed other countries economy badly especially India  Pakistan,Japan or China because their economy heavily depends the oil that pass through this way. Now high risk is involved in crossing this path . Because Iran and U.S both has  imposed restrictions on the transportation of ships. No one knows how and when this conflict will be resloved.

It looks like the U.S. and China are about to reach an agreement and exchange favors-China will hand over the Iranian regime in exchange for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the ability to continue receiving oil through the Strait, as well as chips from the U.S., without which "Chinese AI" isn’t developing very well for some reason.
There will also clearly be a slew of trade deals-China needs to export its products, or else its economy will simply grind to a halt. Maybe they’ll find a solution regarding Taiwan at the same time...
 
Trump needs to bring home at least some "victories"; otherwise, his approval rating will plummet to zero, the Republican Party will lose seats in Congress, and Trump will likely lose his seat in the White House.
 Also, in the absence of "victories", the Epstein case-where Trump has clearly gotten himself into hot water-will be brought up again. In a word-it’s going to be "fun"!

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said on Telegram that the strait “is open to everyone, except American ships and those of its allies.”

US is demanding for their ships and that of Israel's or other allies to be passed through the strait but Iran is standing on their ground. This might anger US even further and since they have threatened to further cause destruction in Iran, we might not see this war end soon. If the strait was opened, this could offer some relief for other countries not really part of this war. But will it really be successful? Can they really pass through the strait with this chaos ongoing?

Even with this statement, it still feels that we are stuck doomed and keep expecting oil prices to keep rising.

I think this war is not ending soon because Americans will not watch Iran do this to them, and succeed. And concerning the shipping of petroleum products through strait of Hormuz, Hormuz seems to be a vicious circle for now, since Americans, and it's allies are battling Iran in other to have access. I think not all matters are followed with violence, America and it's allies can resolve this matter without even violence, and they can do this through dialogue. Somehow Iran is equally gaining some benefits by granting access to America, and it's allies, stopping them from gaining access through Hormuz is equally depriving Iran from certain benefits they would have enjoyed from US, and it's allies.

Donald Trump will openly not admit it, but this is a critical period for his administration and they have to find a solution to this situation in the Strait of Hormuz and the war in general. Obviously we don't have specific details of his high-stakes meeting with Xi, but it definitely had to do with their economic relations, the Iranian war and maybe Taiwan would come in too.

Trump is under a lot of pressure. Quite a lot of Americans (particularly from the opposition) think that the war was unnecessary and they are piling up the pressure in response to the economic implications (high energy prices) of the war in the U.S., so Mr president also has that to think about. China has a good relationship with Iran, but they obviously do not control their affairs, so their influence in reopening the Strait might be limited, but we'd see how things progress.

Has there been a day US interest has ever been for the people. If they are not getting anything in return, you not be in their league. Didn't you see what happened recently in Venezuela? After the government was change under the leadership of US control have you heard anything negative from there. It now seems the media has even forget about them and that's because US own the global media and they push wrong narrative and feed the eyes and ears with what they want.

Didn't you see many times they were asked why Iran was attack? The word "imminent" threat is the only answer they had, no evidence of nuclear, no physical process to proved that this is exactly what is going on in Iran and they think Iran is the problem. As it looks, there is nothing to leverage on anymore, the missile didn't help and even Iran grew more wings because they loss more than enough, they don't care about what he world even think again and nobody can justify their actions.

And Americans should also consider the consequences that comes along side the blockage of Hormuz, Hormuz because it has only made things worse because the price of gas have refused to come down and thisnis something government would have addressed instead of allowing the poor citizens suffer for it life is already hard so why make things more difficult because now the government always think they are right without proper consideration of things, I just hope this thing is solved because the price at which gas is going is not longer funny. I even stopped following because the only thing I want to see at this point will be for the war to be resolved that is the only way I will be better.
