Wondering couldn't Pakistani ships enter Iranian territorial waters via their own territorial waters? USN wouldn't be able to come in that case due to fear of ASMs.

If they could then in theory Chinese vessels could hug Pakistani territorial waters to enter Iranian.

That's what I was also thinking. Some challenges could be the tankers still need to cross the Strait and is the coastal water deep enough ?

He is not wrong Hamas got played right into Israel hands on October 7th and gave them a reason to mass murder.

They were massive murdering anyway

Over the last decade, Israel was expanding it's occupation whilst the Arabs and others were rewarding Israel with recognition

What the Hamas action did was for better or worse force the situation

The cost is great, but it has led to circumstances that may lead to the end of Israel and end of American hegemony

Assuming it is deep enough, Pakistani oil tankers can navigate via the its territorial waters from Iran's territorial waters, but if that does work, I don't see Pakistan offering that for other countries as then the US may be tempted to "really clamp" down on that politically etc.

Pakistan should absolutely use that route for itself.

China can look after themselves, they are big boys.. Pakistan does not need to get involved in something that China does not want to get involved in.

Hints from the talks suggest this to be true. My own impression of the two sides eventually having face-to-face discussions is that they had actually reached some form of an agreement, but then additional demands were introduced, resulting in the breakdown. I am sure Islamabad has those agreed-upon points, and indications are that it is building the case for the second round of talks.

Right.
Araghchi saying 'inches' from an 'Islamabad MOU' is similar to some Pakistani journalists also saying: Substantial progress made. Pakistan's Defense Minister today is also saying another round possible.
Also, I think the two Israeli agents in the talks Mr. Kushner and Mr. Witkoff were in communication with Netanyahu during the talks and so no surprise the 'shifting goalposts', as Araghchi said, were introduced.
I am still hopeful for at least the ceasefire to hold, if not extended and some resolution to come within next few weeks.

Trump has lost his mind entirely

Very dangerous time for the world

Irans broken him, his not liking the fact most media outlets including independent are calling this a strategic US defeat.

That makes him much more dangerous as its all about him.

Trump is trying to frame the war on Iran. If Iran blocks all ships passing SOH for long, then world opinion esp in those badly affected countries might be even out against US and Iran. So, Iran has to weigh out carefully about the consequences. Trump is obviously wants to choke or even collapse Iran's economy by totally blocking Iran's oil export so it can't continue to fight.. I am also a little skeptical that China will send PLAN to escort.

Iran needs to understand the uniqueness of the strait and also need to be aware of the need to deal with a dual domain war. One is military warfare, and the other is diplomatic warfare. It is very important for Iran to blame the United States and Israel for cutting off the strait in the diplomatic field.

If you notice, post the Jesus blasphemous pic triggered the mental health attack.

I guess he received a lot of criticism online for that post.

Some journalist could ask why he only blasphem about Christianity.

Then I have no doubts he would blasphem all world religions, except Judaism, make him the most loved man in the planet .

Lets simply see if China will tolerate any u.s. navy ship blocking its supplies...... it's the only realistic metric, the rest is speculation.

No.

Firstly, the Chinese Navy does not have the capability to confront the US Navy in the Persian Gulf.

Secondly, China's oil security policy is excellent, and simply interrupting oil in the Persian Gulf is unlikely to affect China's economy.



China is likely to assist Iran through military aid.

Trump has threatened China that if China provides military aid to Iran, he will increase tariffs by 50% on China.

Today, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that restarting the tariff war is not a good choice for the United States.

In the context of Chinese language, this answer is equivalent to acknowledging that Iran will receive military assistance and accepting the resumption of the tariff war.
