For peopel whinging with weak scroll fingers:
If there was less brownoid seething with retarded posts that need to get shat on, I would post less.
Turns out there's no problem crossing the strait if tankers turn off their transponders
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHAHHA
Turns out Iran can't hit ships if they don't broadcast their location to those crack Muslim missile teams.
Much like all of iran's other weapons, their economic ultimate weapon turns out to have been a dud.
So even in the worst case where the IRGC remains I don't think there is anything they can do to stop the IDF from doing casual bombing runs a few times a week from now on. Can they even maintain a country where top leadership is continually being hunted? Not to mention if things start looking dire there won't be any way the Israelis don't destroy all the oil extraction and refinery equipment and of course destroy any attempts to rebuild/repair. Water desalination/reservoirs will probably be safe though.
Look at Lebanon/Gaza (pre-2023) for the future with the Mullahs still in power.
Most likely if no effective Iranian resistance emerges when the bombing stops, Israel will smash their oil infrastructire on their way out the door. They are very clearly being held back from going on it harder by the US, most likely on the assumption a new regime will need to have an economy.
Lebanon’s government proposed direct negotiations with Israel, mediated by the Trump administration, to end the war and pursue a peace deal, according to Axios.

It even suggested immediate ministerial-level talks in Cyprus and claimed some Hezbollah members might support an agreement. However, U.S. and Israeli officials reacted skeptically.

U.S. envoy Tom Barrack told Lebanese officials that any talks must involve real action to disarm Hezbollah, while Israeli officials rejected the proposal, saying their focus is now on defeating Hezbollah rather than negotiations.

Lebanese leaders are said to be frustrated by the lack of U.S. engagement, believing that without American mediation, peace talks are impossible.
"Help help we're being bombed by the Jews! they're being completely unreasonable and demanding we completely disarm the terrorists using our territory to attack them, instead of protecting them and allowing them to appoint ministers to the government!"
Hezbollah is firing artillery at Syrian positions.
Not content with getting their shit pushed by Israel, Hezbollah has decided to also get reamed out by Syria as well.
If they won't tell you who said it, by default assume its bullshit.
In the future, everyone will be the Ayatollah for 15 minutes.
I don't want to sound like a downer.
"I don't want to be a downer" Then immediately follows up with gems of crystalized brownoid cope like these posts
The price for running the Strait will rise until greed wins out. Let's wait and see how high the Iranians can drive that price. At least we might get some kino FPV footage of oil tankers getting punched holes in them.
Doubtful. The Strait is small enough that common FPV drones from the Ukraine war can reach the other shoreline. The Shaheds can do it too, from even further away. As long as Iran is willing to continue the fight they can find the materials they need to strike these tankers.
For a supposed patriot really just looking out for what's best for America, you really twist yourself into knots running interference for America's enemies and trying to imagine scenarios where they manage to beat America. Really curious.
Its over nigger. Your fellow brown terrorists have already lost. You are just embarrassing yourself at this point.
"What if Iran unleashes AI terminator bots on the Strait?! What is they use orbital ion cannons to prevent all shipping?"
A couple problems with using FPVs (Which is why they haven't done it probably.)
1. If you are using wireless control you are advertising your location to sigint guys. Which is probably bad for your health.
2. FPVs that can travel long distance have to have relatively light payloads even more so if they are running on fiber optics. Tanker ships wouldn't be unaffected but unless you hit a fuel tank directly chances of doing any serious damage are low.
3. FPVs are slow you are going to need to be camped out for a while even if you plan on only making a single strike much less enough to be an effective deterrent. Probably a bad Idea if drones and fighter jets are looking for you.
Shaheds could be an effective deterrent but Iran's capacity to launch even those is degrading and they aren't exactly hard to shoot down. Iran relies on volume and a large region of potential targets to get successful impacts. The second half of which wouldn't be true if you only have to protect tankers. Maybe Iran could attempt some strikes with Ukraine style semi submersible drones idk.
With most FPV there is also issues with weight as well as the fact its easier for the target to carry a EM jammer than for the attacker to pump out enough signal to overcome the interference, and that difference multiplies with distance from the target.
Shaheeds can potentially get around that by operating based on GPS and have limited vision sensors, but trying to hit a moving target - especially when that moving target looks very similar to targets you DON'T want to hit - is massive undertaking that isn't realistic currently.
Isn't there some safety thing about him and Trump not being in the same space while the war is ongoing in case Iran attempts an assassination strike?
That's just generally the case even on a good day, almost certainly double so now.
Both of them are going to have public functions dialed back.
Global economic meltdown didn't last as long as I'd been promised. Seething brown heads already warmed up for posting.
I don't wanna gloat lest I jinx something, but I'm gonna enjoy this schadenfreude while it lasts.
Yeah, same. The futures market does not operate remotely rationally, especially not when shit is happening. Peaks and valleys are ridiculously amplified because of everyone's algorithms operating on hair triggers to try to beat a trend.
but it is great to enjoy the seething of brown hands.
So like 2-3 ships that reactivated their transponders and popped up after crossing the Strait? Interesting.
Turns out Iran's military is even gayer than originally expected. Can't even close off a 30KM waterway.
All it takes is a proof of concept to give others the confidence to do it themselves. Iran has mostly been keeping ships in port out of fear rather than physical attacks. Inb4 they obliterate a tanker, and it's all over again.
Pretty much that. Shipping is a very risk-adverse business, but also the only way you make money is by having things move. No one wanted to be the first person to test the bridge.
No clue how something so obvious could have slipped under the MI5's radar until after his election as Supreme Leader.
Imagine how silly MI5 would look if one of the members of the Paki rape gangs has been elected Ayatollah.
How long do you think Iranian recon drones are going to remain intact and in the air over the Strait lol
As long as Allah protects the, inshallah.
The IRGC pinky swears that if you kick out the US and Zionist ambassadors from your country then you can use the Straight of Hormuz.
I doubt they have enough C&C of their guys at the strait to pull that off.
Iranian's aren't Arabs. At least not the vast majority of them. There's an Arab minority up along the northern border. Iranians are mainly Persian and similar. Caucasians. Honest to God Old School Aryans.
Disagree. The only people who claim to be able to tell the difference between Arabs and Persians are Persians.
Correct. Our paintings are so advanced that they have thermal signatures, shadows that perfectly match the sun, and parallax too! The Zionists are so easily fooled. Not like us.
They're so advanced they can even take off if they got proper maintenance and parts!
You think Mohammad would've forbade cousin-fucking if he saw how retarded it would make his modern day followers.
No chance. His cousins were really hot.
>fucking Washington Post
>unamed ""Israeli officials""
What's the point of posting that obvious propaganda garbage?
Brownoid seething.
Sad to see all those F-14A's destroyed.
I'd be mad about the Iranian decals but honestly they had more F-14 aces than the US so I've got to concede that point.
