Have you noticed that Iran has not fired a single drone or missile at US since the blockade began? "Iran is winning" 😂
Fear hold them dai na and also their advisers must have warned them not to try it.

US lawmakers move to impeach War Secretary Hegseth over Iran ‘war crimes’
A number of US lawmakers are set to file five articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over war crimes committed in Iran.

The impeachment resolution will be introduced by Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.), the first Iranian American Democrat in Congress, on Wednesday, accusing Hegseth of war crimes in connection with the US-Israeli aggression against Iran, abuse of power and mishandling of the Department of War, according to Axios.

Eight Democrats are co-sponsoring the resolution, including Reps. Steve Cohen (Tenn.), Jasmine Crockett (Texas), Nikema Williams (Ga.), Sarah McBride (Del.), Brittany Pettersen (Colo.), Dina Titus (Nev.), Dave Min (Calif.), and Shri Thanedar (Mich.).

Ansari announced last week that she was filing articles of impeachment, saying Hegseth was “complicit” in President Donald Trump’s “devastating, illegal war” against Iran.

The first article says Hegseth violated his oath of office in overseeing an “unauthorized war against Iran and reckless endangerment of United States service members.”

According to the resolution, the secretary is guilty of war crimes by targeting civilians and breaking the rules of armed conflict, citing the deadly US bombing of a girls’ elementary school in Iran’s Minab.

The articles also focused on the mishandling of sensitive information, referring to the use of the Signal app on his personal cell phone to discuss a pending strike on targets in Yemen.

Moreover, the resolution accuses Hegseth of obstructing Congress’s ability to oversee the military by withholding information regarding military actions in Venezuela and Iran, and other countries.

It also accuses the secretary of abusing his power, “including targeting and launching bogus investigations against specific elected officials for the express purpose of political retribution.”

The articles, however, are almost certain to go nowhere in the House controlled by the Republicans.

Trump’s war on Iran, which began on February 28, has further fueled Americans’ anger. According to a poll published last week, most Americans want Congress to impeach US President Donald Trump over his war on Iran and other controversial policies.

The costly and illegal war on Iran has already consumed tens of billions of dollars and raised concerns about the strain on US weapons stockpiles.

The war has also carried a considerable political cost for Trump. His approval rating dropped to 39 percent in early April, down from 42 percent in late February before the war began, with 53 percent disapproving, marking the lowest rating of his second term.

Inside Congress, Democrats supported impeachment by 84 percent to 8 percent, with 78 percent strongly backing removal. Republicans, however, opposed impeachment by 81 percent to 14 percent, with 77 percent of GOP foes strongly opposed. Independents swung toward impeachment, 55 percent to 34 percent.

In the House, lawmakers need only a simple majority to impeach Trump, but Democrats lack the majority.

Senate conviction requires a two-thirds vote in a chamber that remains firmly Republican. Currently, no votes for removal exist on either side of the chamber.

Iran has declared a “historic victory” following the war of aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime that lasted 40 days, announcing that Washington had been forced to accept an Iranian proposal.

On April 8, the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire after Washington received the 10-point proposal from Tehran.

Israel's Maariv newspaper admitted that the US-Israeli war against the Islamic Republic has ended in a "decisive victory for Iran," with both the US and Israel conceding to a "strategic surrender" and retreating from the battlefield.
Bingo listen FYI Trump never FAILS

The promise to permanently open the Strait of Hormuz is to happen after this deal with Iran is done, not today. I think you did not read his tweet in context. 🤔

In the meantime, the strait remains closed to traffic to and from Iranian ports. Ships heading to or from other Gulf states in the area continue to flow freely. 🤔

Trump is telling lies!

Navigation data says otherwise!

Chinese and Iranian ships are sailing with no obstruction!

Why he had to chicken out with a post that, he is helping China open the straight 🤣😂🤣😂

China already warned him in a public statement by the Chinese defense minister.

US forces are not even inside the strait but outside. They could not even sail through Yemen, they had to go turn around Africa to make it there!

Most Western media are playing along to Trump’s lies. The reality is different!

South Korea just got huge shipment that could last them for 3 months via same strait.

Blockade is only on paper!
..

US has opened the strait n are clearing mines.. Bomb under the water targeting ship

On the othee hand they went to Iran port to block it

Chinese not only buys Iranian oil oh. The also buy from Saudi and Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. So if Chinese shop passes through they are from other ports.

Iran should give up nuclear for at least 20years. Stop Israel hate and sponsoring of proxy terrorism just like his neighbours.
Re: US Blockade Forces More Vessels To Turn Back; Iran Loses $400 Million Day by fineboynl(m): 4:42am On Apr 16
The oil Iran is supplying to china are borrowed money oh. Not like they are receiving the money daily. That have spent and wasted that money on contract to supply the oil like APC government is doing collecting money in advance.

The Iranian economy was in bad shape before the war. Infact it was the reason the protests started. 1 USD is over 1.5m.

Why are you desperate to spin your own narrative of this when there is tons of news out there reporting U.S. Naval ships in the area to clear out the mines, Iranian ports have been blockaded, and traffic from other ports in the are have been slowly increasing?😒

I don't know what you intend to accomplish by ignoring all the available information out there, only to push a story that makes no sense at this point in time. 🤔

What do you mean rationale, everything Trump as done is it warranted, this is a Man that promised to stop Russia & ukraine War buh since he came he himself as created more global crisis .... Steering up needlezz war

On two organisation they have baited iran with peace talk, the 1st they used to kill the iran leader

The 2nd, you ask for a cease fire only to use it to deploy your soldiers to gain ground so you can force iran to bow ... these are foul actions from the US

don't put rationale in same line with Trump .. Its a needless war
US is basically fighting for the world and her Allies in this issue. How could Iran close the Straight of Hormuz against the Israel and other US Allies and decided to open for China and all her Allies. It's like holding the world in to ransom. People like you believe Iran is actually winning the war, Let them continue and let see the winner

You forgot Iran were sitting on there own, and something trigger Iran decision you may feign not to know that part buh objective minds do know

The fact is US and isreal triggered Iran to that point of blocking the strait of hormuz , if not for that decision Isreal & Us would have done more inhumanity to Iran,

Listen! you can't beat a child and tell the child how to cry .. 1st they lured iran leader out for a peace talk nd cease that moment to kill him ... No reasonable human should support it, that even a bad precedence i.e peace talks no longer carry trust n protection

2ndly, Us continue to attack iran energy source, another clear violation of war global rules, killing children and armless citizens these are world crimes lets not even sugar coat anything

Despite everything done, Us asked Iran for a cease fire they stilll accepted, instead the US again used it as an advantage to position themselves to destroy iran more ... All for what ??
Who as put the world into more suffering and chaos now if not the US, Trump said he was coming to stop the war but instead he as fueled it more acting reckless and irrational ... If other countries in the world have not shown diplomacy we will have a world war by now ..All for what

There are rules buh is Trump playing by int'l rules ?? I dont share slavery mentality to think America are always right nd every other are always wrong ..haba !

The US ships couldn't cross the Strait of Hormuz because Iran military forced them to turn. Where trump claimed they're blocking is the mouth or entrance. Iran military would have sunk all those ships.

Enemies of the US should be rational for once. The purpose of US blockade of the Homos is to ensure it opens permanently without Iran having any power to obstruct it
Make Iran enjoy themselves 50 years of sanctions must end one day. Iran has gained her independence.

By this time next year they will stop the Iran tax by themselves. When Iran warned the world they will take Hormuz as far back as last year on CNN.

Can you remember when America hit their nuclear programme last year and Iran then hit near a base in Qatar ?

They told Americans to evacuate the base and then fired intentionally missing the base..... That was simply a warning shot to tell America that they have the Gulf Covered.

But Americans did not see that but went ahead. It's like me turning up at your gate and saying " hi I just sent this to you ". .... Fear go catch you as per how did I know who you are and where you live.

But America drunk on past glory does not know boys are not smiling.

The sanctions have proven to be a supreme catalist. It's like Osimhen poverty story .

Dey play. Russia sent oil to Cuba and when trump was told he said that he didn't care.

How could he had cared when Putin had warned that nobody should stop his ship.

Trump and the US know who they flex muscle with.

This wouldn't have happened if Iran had accepted the protection treaty Putin offered.
