2 week ceasefire

[Cookdata]

Nigerian Trumper?! Beating the allegations?! Naaaaaa!

Dominance and Power?! Yet you're one of those Nigerians who complain about your president exerting Power and Dominance on Y'all.
So isreal can own nukes but Iran cannot? Now who has attacked who unprovoked between them?! Who?! You have obviously learnt nothing from the lies they told in iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Syria. This is what happens when you learn from a propagandist.

Countries having Us bases are slaves to the Us,  they don't think for themselves and are never fully independent. Iran fights for humanity, we're all seeing that, rather than those bombing and killing little children.

Nigerians don't hate oppression until it's they are the victim, that's when you see them crying on X calling for international leaders to come and save their asses. The double standard United state is doing is annoying but with the way they troll countries, they oppress other countries, there are some countries they will never try this with. Trump has called North Korean leaders all sort of names but he has never for once summon the courage to attack them.

If not for the fact that too much pressure on Iran is going to upset the middle east, there is no way Trump will openly say he want to use Pakistan to negotiate. It was obvious they gave Iran terms that are not beneficial to them that why they refused to yield to what was presented including Lebanon attack that was going on while peace talk was going. One thing I know, this isn't longer about leadership anymore, it's now United state versus everyone in Iran.

Iran will not back down, why would they, they are "winning" right now. Sure Iran is the one being bombed, USA is not being bombed, and that's understandable, and that's why USA thinks that they can feel safe.

But meanwhile, Iran is blocking 20% of worlds entire oil reserves, being backed up at the strait, causing high inflation everywhere, USA has record levels of inflation, nearly going back to covid times now. So believe me, we are going to see a ton of problems without a doubt, VERY soon for USA.

Your definition of victory makes me laugh. About the Strait of Hormuz, the US is moving its warships to form a blockage in and out of the strait. Do you know what that means? Ships from other nations like China, Syria, etc, will not be able to go into the strait to buy Iranian oil. That is called checkmate, and I'm sure IRGC didn't see it coming.

I agree with you bro, its the other way around, and could turn the tide in favor of the US, because if Iran cannot sell their oil, they will have no money to spend on their weapons.

The US is blocking its economic lifeline and potentially breaking Iran's capability to fund its war. The blockade will begin on Monday, and the world is looking forward to its outcome.
Both parties are claiming victories, but many countries are experiencing economic hardships due to this war.

In my opinion, the problem here is that we are witnessing a further escalation of the military conflict. For example, today I read in the news that the Spanish leader is asking China to intervene in the conflict. 🙋

Yes, perhaps the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps didn't expect such actions from Donald Trump. However, it seems Donald Trump also didn't expect the Strait of Hormuz to be blocked by the Iranians and that tankers would be charged in Bitcoin for transit...

In other words, the parties to the conflict are raising the stakes with each new step. Moreover, more and more countries are becoming involved in the conflict. Initially, it was a conflict between Iran and Israel. Then the United States joined in... Then the wealthy Arab states of the Middle East were subjected to missile attacks.

And now most countries in the world are at risk of a global energy crisis.

Recently, Donald Trump blocked the Strait of Hormuz. However, do you really think Iran will back down and surrender? Personally, I think Iran will also raise the stakes.  And it's possible, for example, that China will also enter the conflict. And this could lead the world to World War III. Overall, this is very alarming.🤷

[aylabadia05]

What does this mean? First of all, don’t breathe a sigh of relief just yet. We still don’t know whether this is the start of actual productive negotiations between Iran and USA. Second, oil prices will not suddenly go back to normal. The 2 week period where the Strait of Hormuz may open isn’t enough time for oil to be taken and distributed to the rest of the world. The ceasefire may help but as long as this war is not over, the economies of many nations will still not recover.

Iran doesn't believe it can become a new military power. This means that while a ceasefire could be a solution to end the war, Iran and the United States both have other plans if they disagree on the points of agreement.
Oil prices won't easily return to normal, as the Strait of Hormuz continues to be reported by the media I follow as a mutually beneficial situation involving sinking cargo ships.
The longer it goes on, the more complicated the economy becomes. The victims are ordinary people like us.

Iran won't surrender, since it is US that started it all, they want to put this fight up til' the end. And they have already warned that the Strait is going to be guarded by them and so even if US stays there, the sides of it in the Iran's side is going to be their hiding place and that terrain is an advantage for them.

And it's possible, for example, that China will also enter the conflict. And this could lead the world to World War III. Overall, this is very alarming.🤷

They are an ally of Iran and they have been buying their oil, and so that's possible that they're also supplying arms to Iran. If Iran calls for help, they're there.

[r_victory]

Apparently, the problem will only escalate further, because the Iranian Armed Forces say they may also disrupt shipping in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, or the Red Sea. If they carry out these threats, the crisis could be much greater.

Even with the "ceasefire," the war continues at full steam; it's much more than just soldiers and bombs.

Russia did this with Ukraine, while during the cease fire moment, Russia was bombing Ukraine and we all remembered how Donald Trump was blasting the zelenskyy for not wanting to stop the war and the same time saying all sort of things to Russia. Today, US is now on the same porous road confused trying to manipulated Iran into accepting their terms and conditions and doesn't want to put Iran's terms into consideration. Forget it the Nuclear headlines they used as primary reason, there is more to what the US want from Iran which they don't want to succumb.

I don't think Strait of Hormuz was even in Iranian plans from the beginning to stop ships that are sailing to over countries but became a bait as they went out of options and now that it's working for them, with ceeze fire or not, that place will be their best option to protest so the rest of the world can hear them. The US knows this that's why I'm certain the Nuclear isn't the only thing US is asking at this point, they want total control of Iran.

[Abiky]

Oil will not be replaced anytime soon, forget about that idea. Many sector today still depend on oil, such as aviation, a crucial sector that is entirely dependent on oil. Or the agricultural and heavy transport sectors are still dependent on oil
The world will still need oil, and it will continue to dominate the global energy industry.

Sooner or later, the world is going to have to shift away from oil. Countries need to make sure the energy disruption caused by the US-Iran war today, doesn't happen again in the future. It's going to take quite a while before the transition is complete. But it will happen one way or another. Oil will solely be used for the manufacturing of plastics and other cosmetical items, while the world's source of fuel and energy would be driven by a combination of nuclear, Lithium-Ion, solar, wind, and hydro technologies. In the case of aircraft and ground vehicles (cars), they will all switch to electric in the future. Nuclear energy can be used to recharge the batteries of these units, ditching oil in its entirety.

Hopefully, the ceasefire extends beyond 2 weeks. Otherwise, we should expect a forceful transition away from oil in a bid to ensure energy security. We'll see what happens.

[sokani]

Recently, Donald Trump blocked the Strait of Hormuz. However, do you really think Iran will back down and surrender?

Iran's economy has deteriorated. The inflation rate has risen significantly and the decision to block the Strait of Hormuz will choke their main economy lifeline. So yeah, in my own opinion, I believe the IRGC will give up on it's nuclear ambition. There isn't any other card to play than to surrender or renew the war and I don't think IRGC will want to renew the war.

The current oil crisis is not the first of its kind, and the idea of ​​reducing dependence on oil is not new either. The whole world know that its supply is limited

Based on my quick research, the world has experienced energy crises in 1973, 1979, 1990, and the 2022 conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Similarly, the idea of ​​reducing dependence on oil also stems from that. But as we can see, oil still play an indispensable role and remains the lifeblood of the economy to this day


It is easier said than done, and the replacement will take centuries, not overnight as we might think. Many of us are oversimplifying thing.

There isn't any other card to play than to surrender or renew the war and I don't think IRGC will want to renew the war.

Of course, Iran's economy has suffered serious damage as a result of the fighting. Iran's military potential has also been partially destroyed. 🙋

However, in my opinion, it's important to keep in mind that Iran is a very large country. Incidentally, on a world map, it appears much smaller than it actually is (due to distortions associated with attempting to transfer the image of this structure onto a two-dimensional surface. In fact, planet Earth is not two-dimensional; it is shaped like a sphere, or more accurately, an ellipsoid).

In fact, Iran is the seventeenth-largest country in the world by area and the seventeenth-largest by population. The country has a very complex terrain, with many mountains and caves. This terrain, in my opinion, is ideal for a long-term defense.

Also, a distinctive feature of modern warfare is that it has become very cheap. Previously, to conduct a military operation like blockading a strait, a huge navy was needed. Two or three leading naval powers in the world possessed such a navy.

Now everything has changed.  With cheap aerial drones and unmanned boats, you can block straits, attack aircraft carriers, and inflict significant damage on the enemy. And Iran also has missiles. And launchers.

Besides, I can't imagine what a surrender of the IRGC would look like in practice? These are young officers, because all the older officers have already been killed. They have enormous wealth and power. They have political opponents and ill-wishers within the country. If they surrender, they will all be killed. And all their relatives will be killed, too. Even if they reach an agreement with the US, that doesn't mean they will reach an agreement with Israel. Who will stop Israel from continuing to assassinate the IRGC's top brass? It seems to me that the IRGC has no motivation to end the war. 🤷

Its also worth noting that sanctions have been lifted on Iran, now they can sell their oil at ~$100 per barrel.
They are collecting a toll on every other barrel of oil which they allow through the strait in an effort to fund
reparations for the damage done to their country.

Its widely thought that Iran will continue to control the strait of Hormuz in the future and together with Oman
will share the toll fees. From the last meeting in Islamabad it has come out that Trump proposed that he
demanded to be part of that setup. He obviously knows that Iran holds the cards.

Oil remains the most affected sector, and price stability won’t return as quickly as ships resume sailing, since there is still turmoil for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
If a ceasefire proves to be the best solution, the pace of normalizing global oil distribution will gradually improve, and people will once again experience what they’ve been missing all this time.
A ceasefire might help, but in my view, there will likely be strategic maneuvers employed by the United States or Iran—and while these might contribute to the ceasefire—the level of economic normality will still require adjustment.

Stopping the war is very beneficial for all countries because the war is only between Iran and Israel America but many countries have been affected by the war between the two of them.Although America and Iran are facing the most losses and troubles and along with them we have all been facing many difficulties including the excessive increase in oil prices the deterioration of the economy difficulties in transportation skyrocketing inflation and other things.The most important problem for Islamic countries is the postponement of Hajj which should not happen under any circumstances.Everyone should want the war to be stop permanently and the damage done to be compensated.

You are correct, no doubt. But there are many things here that are controversial and on which we can have a deep talk. Like, this war is not only between Iran Ameriac and israel they way thing are moving, the chances are higher that this war was going to change into the WW3 and now i am very happly that things are settling down in a postive ways like as far as i know that America is going to have another visit in Pakistan-Islamabad for another negotiation with Iran on the same table to end this war. And I hope and wish for things to settle down on the positive side.

As wars are unwanted and only those who lose their life that don't have not made any mistakes, many are kids, fragile babies, and old-age men and women who lost their lives without making any of their mistakes. Field Marshal Asif Munier is on his way to Iran for a visit, and the PM is on a visit to the Middle Eastern countries for the best negotiation to cool things down. Well, let's see where things move this time. What do you think about it? What is going to happen in the coming days?

When war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, many concerns and theories about WW III were raised and debated intensely. But after 5 year, the war was still not over, and there was no WW at all.
Similarly, many fear that the conflict between Iran and the United States will escalate into WW3 if it is not brought to an end soon. But in my opinion, that will not happen, and we are exaggerating it unnecessarily.

As wars are unwanted and only those who lose their life that don't have not made any mistakes, many are kids, fragile babies, and old-age men and women who lost their lives without making any of their mistakes.

If war bring no benefit, why has the world never had peace? There are always various wars and conflicts constantly taking place around the world, and most of these wars involve the US. It could be said that war always bring benefit, but unfortunately, it only benefits a select few nation, not the majority of the world.

Only innocent civilians do not want war, but politicians love war.

The war only ended when they achieved their goals.

Maybe Iran is keeping it as a strategy because they are aware that world countries need the Strait of Hormuz as a key route for each country's ship traffic.
Amazingly, NATO members began to openly ignore Trump's wishes and preferred diplomacy so that their ships could pass through the Strait of Hormuz for their oil needs, so Trump also made strange statements to his allies.

Demonstrations with the number of participants voicing criticism of Trump's strange policies were not small and these actions reminded us of what happened to Iran which caused Iran's currency exchange rate to plummet.
Perhaps the leaders of NATO countries would be quicker to think that the interests of their people are greater than to join Trump's call for Israel.

Even some countried like Philippines, Vietnam declared Power crisis emergency. Those country is suffering so much who don't have any natural resources like Gas , OIL. Even our country is suffering even thoug we can genrate some gas from our natural resources.

Long line of vehicle in OIL pumps , still the supply has not settled. I hope this crisis will end since the cease fire has been called.

Ships from other nations like China, Syria, etc, will not be able to go into the strait to buy Iranian oil. That is called checkmate, and I'm sure IRGC didn't see it coming.

Your definition of victory also makes me laugh. If you say the US has won, I think that's wrong. You know the US is a superpower and Trump even said before the war that he would cripple Iran in just a week, but what's the reality now? The US hasn't completely crippled Iran, but Iran has become even more solid, even though Iran has been attacked by a superpower (the US) and by a regional power (Israel). It's been attacked by two major powers, but Iran remains unimpeded, even though it's been under an embargo for over 40 years. So, logically how does bombing civilians constitute victory? The more casualties, the more victories?

Regarding the Strait of Hormuz Iran has banned all US, Israeli and allied ships. Now the US is also blocking ships that Iran allows to pass through. This isn't a victory, it's detrimental to all parties. BTW according to a Reuters report, a Chinese tanker successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz despite being blockaded by the US Navy. It could be said that American warships didn't dare block the Chinese vessels. So in my opinion, the US hasn't won against Iran in fact, the US has lost primarily because of Trump incompetence in the war with Iran, which led Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, worsening the global economy.

The question for the US is this. The Strait of Hormuz was already open before the war, so what is the US's goal in this entire war? In fact, the US has created a global crisis that didn't exist before.

Checkmate my ass!!

You all keep reading the bullshit Donald Trump writes and post on his truth social handle. They can go ahead to bully smaller nations but China?! Are you kidding me?! They have strictly warned the US about attempting to block them from doing business with iran. China literally ignored the Us and they went ahead to do their business as usual.
