Iran war live: Hormuz Strait shut down again over US ‘piracy’, says Tehran

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp says control of the Strait of Hormuz has now “returned to its previous state” because of the US’s continuing blockade of Iranian ports.

US President Donald Trump says the naval blockade will “remain in full force” until “our transaction with Iran is 100% complete”.

Less than 24 hours and we are back to square one. Sigh!

Then who is loosing billions of dollars daily between terrorist Iran and the US?

By the time market opens on Sunday night, those that held there trade over the weekend will cry. Oil price will go up while gold price will crash.

This to and fro is getting out of hand.....today this tomorrow that.....who amongst them is not keeping to the terms of agreement?. .

Nonetheless, US decision to block the strait also thereby limiting movements in Iranian port was a masterstroke as it will keep Iran in a desperate situation and would force Iran to give in on the long run..... regardless of what's going on, US still has the advantage....all this gra gra by Iran is as good as waste of time.

Your own problem is Israel. Let's America free Israel a bit and let's see what they will do to Iran.

If you think you are mad enough there are madder pple out there Iran is wicked

They open it yesterday, shipped out 2 million barrels and shut it bk, why is us blockading abi them think say them wise

Whether they close it or open it, no ship can still transit out due to US blockage. So their blockage is meaningless at this point

Iran is the one hurting and suffering in all this. US forces keeps allowing other vessels to pass international waters but as far as u are going to Iranian ports or u are coming out of Iranian ports, you are going NOWHERE.

USA holds all the cards and leverage. Na weak UK and Europe go suffer am. They would be forced to buy oil from the USA.

I knew this was going to happen. From the moment Mr Trump sent his two favourite airheads Witkoff and Kushner along for the negotiations in Islamabad.

US will end up starting a revolution that will bring down their empire

Helinuse:
So no more World War III,
Right?

Seems like we are tired of peddling the “China and Russia will join” propaganda.

😅😅😅

Iran's Allies have said that Iran has not asked for help.
I am sure you heard them

Lol... Trump and Iran just dey play kalukalu with the global economy.

Full-scale invasion is loading.

Iran don run out of tactics. Una go close and open tire.

. Oga, face reality…Iran is not losing anything…face ur borrowing country n stop yaping dust.

Exactly. Their blockage is very useless

Yes Iran is not losing anything. In facr their economy is expanding

USA has closed it na. So how can Iran close what has already been closed?
This checkmate by USA will choke Iran.

The US blockade is for Iranian ships only.

I thought you guys said they were not bothered about the US blocade?

Who is actually closing and opening the Strait

US or Iran. Who has the key to Strait of Hormuz?

Iran doesn't have sense.
What is the essence of blocking your door when the main gate to your entire bull has been blocked outside

Unfortunately, these people are on the receiving end of this hullabaloo...

So much chest beating and all, when the war is being prosecuted in your backyard. But for efforts at keeping things sane, would the US not have levelled Iran by now?

So many top guys gone forever, yet they still think they are victorious. Smh. Anyways, the Iranian/Islamic idea of victory is different from that of sane minds anywhere else in the world (I kill you and I AM VICTORIOUS, you kill me and I AM A VICTORIOUS MARTYR)

Trump giving everyone that support the islamists back hand.

Meaningless blockade, the US is the one doing the real blockade.
By the time "I ran" 😂 realise their mistakes they will go down on their knees and beg the world presido.
After God na Trump.
Main while, FFK is busy bleaching 😂😂😂

Hahah these one never know as it dey do them.
