Blame Trump and not Iran. He was warned by the US miliyary not to start this war. Now you see why?

Trump will force Iran to the negotiation table. Blocking the straitt is a broad strategy of economic pressure.

Hndrrxxx:
The hypocrisy on the Strait of hormuz from Trump is disgusting. Gulf of America, Cuba blockade, Gaza blockade (supported by US). The waters of the strait of Hormuz fall within the 12 n miles for Oman & Iran. This is a claim used for water used on American shorelines!

It's an international strait.. There is a Maritime law guiding it.. it's wrong for Iran to block it and start collecting tolls.

She did tiktok contents showcasing her shop and all the things in there, so criminals knew exactly what they were coming for.

I don't understand why people don't do insurance. Just transfer the risk. and rest.

CaseSensitive:
North Korea sleeping with two eyes closed knowing that US would never dare bring democracy and freedom to them.

Everyone knows North Korea no dey do Jihad...

Have you ever hear any suicide bombing from that angle before ....?

Kobicove:
You people overestimate the US.

In just 3 weeks of war with an underdog like Iran the Americans have already run low on their ammunitions stockpile...just imagine what would happen if they face a more capable opponent like Europe, Russia or China

Run low on ammunitions ...
Or
they are looking at civilian casualties..
Isreal alone used over 4 million cluster bombs in Lebanon in 2006....
They are yet to use a single one becos of civilian casualties...
US is not even thinking of using it....
Abeg make u na dey read well....

Openyamind111:
Trump is actually smarter than I could imagine

U need to read his books on the art of power deals....Dude knows what he is doing...

Belawy:
Why is it that is Trump and US. that always initiates the talk. If Trump winning , why is he running upandan initiating talk?

You don't understand the art of deal. U force your enemy to the table by, Using leverage, unpredictability..structured choice..fighting back hard... Over the top demands. Go and read Trump books on..Art of the Power Deal.

Come out and fight and stop hiding like cowards ..

With the way they are playing, it’s a matter of time before they collapse and collect serious beating

Come out from where.. person wey pass..u ..pass u... Na to Siddon for house Athletical dey now..

Well, I hope they win tonight sha.

Not a coach issue...
Na that defence line dey sleep...

Lookman..brilliant finish

Athletical just dey sleep today...too many loose balls and mistakes in that defence line

deathwing:
Hehe. I suppose it depends on goals but I have not yet sold anything to book profit. If i believe in a stock, then selling to book profit is counterintuitive since it reduces my longterm profit.

Its relative...
Esp when u have an alternate pick..
I invested part proceed in New Gold ETF...
which still deliver a 100%..within a short period...
Though..I am not a fan of this long term thing....

deathwing:
Seplat traded at 10k yesterday.
I got my eyes on it at 8.5-9k.
Ignored opinions that implied I should wait till dividend kinikan for a dip. There is too much potential in front for such considerations.
Time in the market is better than timing the market. Won’t gamble an investment decision because a stock MIGHT drop 5%…that is inconsequential for a longterm holding.
If it dips to 8k, I will buy more, if it never dips that low, I have secured my bag already.
Looking forward to 15k over the next year or so.

Target is N12k...
I sold half of my portfolio to book profit....
Will buy the dip if it ever comes...

Flangelo12:
Nobody allowed Pakistan.

The same fear mongering was rife when Pakistan was building its capacity.

The US indirectly supported Pakistan..

In fact President Reagan frequently certified to Congress....

that Pakistan was not developing a nuclear device, despite intelligence suggesting otherwise.

Key gulf nations like Saudi Arabia also gave funds..

God bless Pope Leo, you are the voice of the voiceless and oppressed


No amount of intimidation from trump will silence you, you are the leader of over 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide and the head of Christianity.


No politician on earth can hold a candle to the Pope

Show us what Ayatollah said about Isreal

What is stopping the Iranians and Omanis from collecting dues for specific services?
We can sign a treaty on that too
The Tehran Convention or what do you think?

You are too lazy ...
It cant take you 2 minutes to google that word
I give you a verdict by Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO),
I write no more...

tishbite41:
Quote the rules here
I'm waiting
Don't forget that the Turks also toll the Bosphorus Strait
Is that man-made too?

The internet is your friend.
Google the word Transit Passage ...
For the Bosphorus Strait.. it is not a traditional charge..
Turkey collect dues for specific services...
permitted by the 1936 Montreux Convention.

tishbite41:
Tolls are being charged at the Panama and Suez canals
Hormuz shouldn't be different
It just needs a legal framework

U are wrong

Suez and Panama canals are man-made (artificial) waterways, whereas the Strait of Hormuz is a natural strait.

Under international maritime law (UNCLOS), the rules for these two types of passages are entirely different:

tishbite41:
Stop peddling lies
The Turks toll the Bosphorus Strait
Under international law, the Strait of Hormuz belongs to Iran and Oman
It is not an international waterway

Strait of Hormuz is an "international strait" governed by transit passage.
This means that under international law, coastal states cannot legally suspend or impede
the continuous and expeditious passage of foreign vessels...

God1000:
They will fail as usual, it's an exercise in futility

America under trump has become a laughingstock and pariah State

No more free $20m million dollars per day for Iran...

grandstar:
Iran will fight dirty. They did so in the latest war and would do so again.

The Straits aren't the issue. It is when Iran starts firing at oil assets in other Middle East country is when the US will have a rethink.

Iran can sustain a war for at least 2 months which would wreck the entire world economy.

Trump was warned by top US military brass not to start this war but he would not listen. Now the global economy is suffering.

Let Iran destroyed it now...
US dont have to blink...
Everyone can play dirty.... Its war....Bros
We survived Covid19. that took app 7million lives..
.we will survive this too...
It takes madness to cure madness...
Why u dey fear now...

owagbeba:
With all that you have mentioned above, here is a very simple question, is Iran blockaded?

It cannot replace the Strait.

Shifting to Capscian sea is a survival strategy, not a replacement.

owagbeba:
With the Capsian sea, Iran is not blockaded.
Irrespective of the fact that it will cost money to build capacity on that front, China is capable of paying the cost and have paid the cost in BRI China will not allow the United States to derail the “ Belt and Road Initiative “ and they have prepared for this scenario in which US and Eu will deny it access through traditional routes.

China planned ahead. That’s why they have BRI

Even with the Chinese deep pocket, it cant replace the Strait

Capsaicin sea cant handle the 20 million barrel per day.. even with Chinese and Russia Support.

China’s proposed Caucasus-Iran-Pakistan oil pipeline ($280 billion) is still mostly on paper.
However, "planning ahead" and "having the physical capacity ready today" are two different things.

owagbeba:
Capacity can be increased
Infrastructure can be built
Barriers can be over come

Iran will still maintain communication with her main trading partner -China through the Caspian Sea

Who suffers in Trump’s blockade: Qatar, UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait. These are all American Allie’s.

You dont even understand those points listed there.. try and read

It will cost Iran billion of dollars they dont have and many years of construction.

Trump is now doing the right thing.. Let everyone suffer together

U have to cure madness with madness

owagbeba:
CASPIAN SEA…

I guess trump didn’t see that on his map




Traffic on straits of hormuz as of 15:00 Nigerian time.12/4/2026

All transiting on the Iranian side as directed by the Iranian navy.

Capscian Sea has the following issues,

Capacity Gap
Infrastructure problem
Legal & Geopolitical Barriers:

It cant replace the Hormuz Strait.

owagbeba:
Iran has the Caspian Sea…. I guess orange man didn’t see that on the map

Capscian Sea has the following issues,

Capacity Gap
Infrastructure problem
Legal & Geopolitical Barriers:

It cant replace the Hormuz Strait.

obinna58:
So North Korea are now good people, when the fight were on the leaders were extremely evil and hopes to destroy the world themselves
Same thing now with Iran now, accusing them of willingness of self delete so the world can perish with them on it falls on their hands.

Oga relocate to Borno and see ...
what Islamic extremists are doing...
Do you think its rational to give WMD to hardliners ?
Even Saudi no dey see eye to eye with Shiites clerics
Na straight execution !

stuffs2002:
You should have added Nigeria and Cameroon to it since you love lies and lack understanding of a simple and basic question.

U asked a question... I answered you...

What i expect from you is to counter that its not true with facts..

Thats how most of you carry religion for head .....

Have a nice day!

stuffs2002:
Mention one country Iran has ever attacked

Isreal and Pakistan

Let me make it 2
