They're both from two various sources.

My thoughts.
Iran has no army or navy that can fight the USA or America.
All they have are thousands of drones and missiles hidden deep underground, which are hidden in mountainous regions .

They can't fight a ground war if they were to be invaded.
They can only plant mines to disrupt shipping.
They have totally blocked internet , threatened any protesters will be treated like the enemy so we don't know if it's only 1% supporting the regime.

They seem prepared to take the whole world down before they go.
Then stop this noise and invade na. Since this war started u crying have become too loud abeg tune it down.

The beautiful part is that Iran said it has no oil to sell to other international players.

What I'm trying to understand is why Iran waited for this war to happen before closing the strait. Other countries charge for such passages but they chose to allow ships to be sailing at zero cost. They should have closed the strait when they decided to reinstate those sanctions.
Well, it is definitely a head-scratcher when you look at the timing. But, the more you look at it, the more sense it makes that they did not close it pre-war.

For a long time, Iran did use the threat of closing Hormuz as its biggest "bargaining leverage." Keeping it open wasn't really about being generous or offering free passage; it allows Iran to stay connected to the global economy. As long as the strait stayed open, Iran could still try to sell its own oil and keep some diplomacy alive with countries like China and India.

If they had closed the strait back when the sanctions were first reinstated, it likely would have provoked this war much sooner, which could have closed the window of preparation Iran badly needed.

Closing a major global shipping lane is usually seen as an "act of war" by the rest of the world. By waiting until the actual fighting began on February 28, Iran was able to use the closure as a direct military and economic move rather than just a political protest. That patience is what has steered the war in its favour today.

Now that the war is in full swing and the U.Sreal camp decided to hit their oil hubs, Iran is also making sure no one else can move oil through that area either. The strategy is all about "if we can’t sell ours, nobody can sell theirs as well," and that has sent global prices skyrocketing. It was a master plan by Persia.

Now, they're not just getting the sanctions lifted, but also making a tonne of money from allowing passage through the strait---these would never have been possible pre-war.

⚡Germany’s flagship naval modernization project — the construction of six F126 frigates worth ~€10 billion — is facing major delays, and defense giant Rheinmetall is now positioning itself to take over as the main contractor.

The program was originally led by Dutch shipbuilder Damen Naval, working with German shipyards.

However, the project is currently around four years behind schedule.

Rheinmetall has stepped in with a proposal to assume the role of general contractor, aiming to accelerate production and stabilize the program.

The company expects a potential contract decision as early as summer 2026 and says it could deliver the first frigate by the second half of 2031.

A key factor behind Rheinmetall’s push is its recent €1.5 billion acquisition of the naval shipyard division of NVL Group (Lürssen), including the major Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg.


This gives Rheinmetall the industrial base needed to handle large naval construction projects.

The F126 program is the largest shipbuilding effort in the history of the German Navy.

These frigates are primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare, but also support a wide range of missions including escort, surveillance, and international deployments.

after the idf claimed 90+% of launchers and stockpile has been destroyed

wait for it..

Many Israelis are asking what has changed? Why are we witnessing non-stop firing from Iran? The reason is quite clear! It has to do with the weather conditions in Iran! This is causing them to fire more ballistic missiles; a senior Israeli military official has confirmed these details
🤣😂😀

so so funny!

⚡Iran's Tasnim, citing a military source, says the U.S. would face an unprecedented response if it attacks Kharg Island, with Washington unable to secure the island and potentially suffering heavy losses.

It adds that disrupting security in the Bab el-Mandeb and Red Sea is among the options being considered.

By now you should know that, media houses are farming Internet money, that's why they employ clickbaits. If you had clicked the link to further digest the news, you'd have noticed that the headline and the news content are saying different things.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What they're saying is that the jet was struck from central Iran. A long-range SAM can shoot a jet from many hundred kilometers away.

I also never said they cannot operate in Iranian airspace. I said they were lying about having air superiority over Iran. As at the last time I made that comment, their jets had still not breached Iranian airspace.
