Is Trump's Blockade failing - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 3.29pm post the following, " The first 24 hours of the US naval blockade of Iran’s ports have been notable for their inconsistency. "

Let's Get Real:

As the article makes clear Iranian linked ships are getting through blockade.  It makes the operation look amateurish by modern standards, the US has the intelligence from the CIA to the NSA to work out from which Ports that tankers come from.  Thus easy win for Iran, that what comes from having an erratic and delusional President with a God complex.

Pakistan suggests further talks this week - Update

Sky News: Reports the following in its  4.11am post, " Pakistan proposes hosting second round of US-Iran talks - report "

Let's Get Real:

POTUS has suggested that Iran wants further talks, Iran has stated it will freeze enrichment of its nuclear stockpile for 5 years.  This would be a mistake for the US to accept, does any one trust Iran with a nuclear bomb, Israel would see itself under more of a threat.  The Strait of Hormuz is also a problem, it cannot be controlled by Iran, it would be against international law.

IRAN wants DEAL - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 6.00pm post the following, " Donald Trump claims Iran wants 'to work a deal' and confirms blockade of strait of Hormuz " 

Let's Get Real:

Is Trump delusional or believes his own press statements, VP Vance was sent to Pakistan to get a deal, he was seen as anti War and the mission failed.  The Tehran is playing Trump, he wants out, but Iran won't give up on nuclear ambitions and controlling the Strait of Hormuz.  Someone has to give, it could be, Trump, declared victory and leave.  That would be a major Appeasement by Trump. That would give the US House to the Democrats before 2028 cycle starts.

Trump threatening Iranian attack speedboats- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.28pm post the following, " Trump warns Iranian ships will be 'eliminated' if they approach blockade "

Let's Get Real:

These pasky speedboats can be a dangerous nuisance, they are fast and hard to target in less you are looking for them at sea.  US Navy has the technology it needs to thwart such attacks, they only have to be lucky once, to cause problems for the Blockade, the America voters do not support the War, neither does the Liberal press.  Trump is in a pickle when it comes to the war,  no US President could allow Iran to go nuclear on the other hand after Afghanistan and Iraq the Americans want their Presidents to concentrate on domestic issues, such as inflation.  A option is for Trump to declared victory and go home, any Presidential Credibility would be gone.

Trump"s Blockade of Strait of Hormuz could be more dangerous- Update

BBC News: Reports in its 11.37am post the following, "  Blockade puts US in even more dangerous territory "

Let's Get Real:

As the article notes this could bring in China and Russia, a combustible situation.  Trump is off to China in the next few weeks, how China going to react if its ships are impeded, the same goes for Russia, what will Putin ( Trump's best friend ) think seeing its tankers boarded.  Interesting hours and days ahead.

UK Rejects role in Trump's blockade of Strait of Hormuz - Update

Guardian: Reports " UK will not join any Trump blockade of strait of Hormuz  "

Let's Get Real:

Typocal of Sir Keir Starmer, all talk no trousers, the left hate Trump so much, that their conscience comes first at the expense of other.  If your not in the room who cares what you think.  The Tehran Regime is EVIL, you destroy evil and make dam sure they do not get a nuclear bomb.  The UK under Sir Keir has failed, Appeasement never goes down well with historians or future writers.


US to blockade Strait of Hormuz- Trump - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 1.56pm post the following, " US Navy will blockade Strait of Hormuz, Trump says  "

Let's Get Real:

It worked in the Cuban Missile Crisis, why not Iran in 2026.  The idea cut the money off from Iran and make Western Europe help.  This will annoy Russia and China as they are the greatest customers for Iranian oil. The question who will blink this time, in 1962 it was USSR and a secret deal, how will Iran react to the Blockade.

Update: BBC News reports that the US will impead Ships going to Iranian ports or departing from then at 3pm ( UK Time) tomorrow.  This will hurt Iran, prevent Iranian Government from funding itself
