[Persian Gulf]

You can't reason with boomers or change their mentality when it comes to technology or taking precautions.

especially not shia boomers who think martyrdom is a good goal and if they are meant to die they will die no matter what.

Iran denied any attacks

 

[Persian Gulf]

in the last 26 days, more than 80 million barrels of Iranian crude oil and refined products (currently worth >$6 billion) have been shipped out of the region.

there are also more than 60 million barrels of floating storage capacity available within the blockade perimeter should Iran be forced to scale back its oil production.

Fuel prices remain as high as if crude was still above $100 due to Russian-Ukraine strikes on energy infrastructure

I don't know why the IRGC waits for the US to attack first every day.

I can see trump escalating, probably planning limited ground troops. But that will not end well for him.

The question is, will Iranian leaders let the US continue to dictate this tit for tat or will they play chicken and let the world and US economy tumble to the extent that a longer term solution will need to be seriously hashed out. Otherwise this is rinse and repeat and I dont think longer term a low intensity war benefits Iran at all, the US will continue to get resupplied and get logistical support from GCC countries whereas Iran I am not so sure can replenish anywhere as quick.

Ukraine has a wartime president, Israel has a wartime president, what will become of President Trump in the end?
This world will be in chaos for twenty years.

Orange cannot waiver sanctions, nor release frozen funds ... even after signing the MoU with Iranians he clarified that those funds will not be coming from the US.

The president has limited ability to waive some sanctions... primarily the previous EO's or others designated to be under executive discretion.
It is instead a muleta being waived by orange to color something he cannot deliver. And, then blame it on congress. It becomes worse yet... if he loses control over the house and congress in midterms. This isn't new, even under JCPOA Obama bypassed congressional appropriation to release some funds.
In this case they didn't even arrive at that stage... even sanctions relief has to go through congress... the president can only lift some sanctions and temporarily.
To use the bullfighting terminology again... orange being the metador waiving the muleta to direct negotiations and then simply step aside. The souther corridor simply couldn't have been

Whatever has to go through congress is the US representatives' responsibility. Islamabad can't be expected to host the entire US congress next time around. Otherwise, there would be no use of any agreement with the US. The MOU stated further negotiations to iron everything out.

The Arabs had already stepped in to provide the funds.

The souther corridor simply couldn't have been allowed to become it's own thing to be grandfathered in once the initial negotiations were concluded... because that was another trap ready to backfire once all else was concluded... a new normal was already established. And Iran would be hard pressed to unwind with Oman that was simply endowed an alternative by arm twisting.

Why not and how so?

Iran should pre-emptively bomb the US with Su-24

I'm sure they can do it and score lethal kills
