Are you telling me the US can't stop Iran from blocking the strait?

Lol! Nobody said the US can’t stop Iran. The point is that “can” and “should” are two different things.

Of course the US has the military power to challenge Iran. But stopping them completely means wider war, attacks on shipping, oil shocks, casualties, and dragging the whole region into chaos. To America, this is not yet a full-blown war, even though Nairaland resident terrorists think it is, and that's why they're hyping Iran to self-destruction. So, it is not magic wand.
That’s why pressure tactics like blockades, sanctions, and economic squeezing are used first...to make Iran bend without turning the Gulf into a fireworks display.

So yes, the US can stop Iran militarily. The smarter question is: at what cost, and is there a cheaper way to make them fold?

Yes, US doesn't need the strait but other nations do. Are you telling me that the US don't have other alternatives to make Iran bow, instead of blocking the strait? Why not open the straits and focus more on block Iran's ports?

The US is and will remain the world power at least for the foreseeable future no doubt about that. I'm a firm US supporter but being ur supporter doesn't translate to you pooing in my mouth while I swallow it and continue shouting ride on sir your poo is very delicious.

So according to you, the US should politely leave the main pressure point open, then go knock gently on Iran’s ports and hope they cooperate? Interesting strategy.

The Strait of Hormuz is exactly where Iran gets much of its leverage. If someone keeps using one gate to threaten everyone passing through it, you don’t ignore the gate and go paint their backyard fence.

Yes, there are other options, and many have been used for years. But when stubbornness becomes policy, stronger pressure follows.

And relax with the “poo in my mouth” speech. Disagreeing with one strategy doesn’t make every action foolish. Sometimes the move you dislike is the one that actually removes the problem.

Terrorists are sad their hitman couldn't hit anything. Now it's time for a clapback.

What can be more worthless than beheading fellow humans because they refuse to serve your god?

Lol! News concocted and spread by one Freestuff guy and other modern Muslims. Lol!

Bandits or Jihadists? Call it what it is.

Are you not ashamed of being African and still support LGBTQ?

I would destroy it too if given the chance. The IDF simply helped true Christians with that single act because true Christians don't worship idols. And it's very wrong to remember Christ this way.

The world is seeing you for who you truly are, you're now trying to whip up sentiments and emotional blackmail. Typical narcissist and manipulative behaviour

Let the world remember how you destroyed several lives of innocent people

Let the world remember how you displaced people from their homes and forced them to live on reserved lands where you can easily torment them

Let the world remember how you starved and killed innocent children

Let the world remember how you continuously invade your neighbouring countries with bombs and missiles

Let the world remember how you bombed USS liberty in 1967 and tried to pin the blame on Egypt

Let the world that you Ashkenazi Jews are not the original Jews, you're Europeans who forcefully took over you were initially welcomed in.

Let the world remember that the ORIGINAL terrosists were JEWS!

Stop being a hypocrite! Anyone with a Jewish heritage, even from 100th generations, remains a Jew. That identity is what the mullahs have tried so many times to erase but thanks be to Almighty God they can not succeed.

You and your likes only talk about how Israel defends itself against its enemies but won't talk about all the atrocious things the enemies have committed, even attempting to wipe out a whole nation off the surface of the earth.

Moderate Muslims are a problem to the world.

First loaded Iranian oil tankers leave Gulf since US blockade: Kpler

Three Iranian oil tankers carrying a combined five million barrels of crude have become the first loaded vessels to leave the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz since the US blockade came into force, according to maritime tracking firm Kpler.

Kpler told AFP news agency that the Deep Sea, Sonia I and Diona passed through the strategic waterway on Wednesday after loading at Iran’s Kharg Island earlier this month.

The US imposed the blockade on Iranian ports on Monday in a bid to stop Tehran exporting oil.

According to Kpler data, no Iranian tanker carrying crude had exited the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz since the Starla on April 10.

Red highlight for terror sympathizers claiming that Iranian tankers had been passing through since the blockade and US couldn't do anything. Shame on them.
