US finishes another strike on Iran - Update
Sky News: Reports in its 12.55pm post the following, " US military completes 90-minute wave of Iran strikes "
Let's Get Real:
The US should carry on this process, day and night bombing. The Tehran Regime has to be taken down, the US should place ground troops in Kharg, turn off the tap to Iranian oil. The people of Iran should be back on the streets, the US should defend them from the air, the theocracy should be bought down, it will take US ground troops to win.

Trump replaces Strait of Hormuz TOLL, - Update
Guardian: Reports in its 4.16pm post the following, " Trump says US will take investment deals with Gulf states instead of fee for using strait "
Let's Get Real:
Another Trump u - turn, a good one for a change, you can't toll the Strait of Hormuz, that is what Tehran planned, one assumes the Gulf States were on the phone after Trump made the announcement on Truth Social. Trump needs to win Iran, otherwise Iran will rule the Gulf States after the US Navy leaves the Region.

This is a good move by the US, the US Navy should take out the power plants, railways and bridges, force Tehran to its knees, get the people out protesting, cause a civic revolution in Iran, the evil theocracy has to go, one way or another. Lets hope Trump does not chicken out again.
Iran hits 2 tankers in the Strait of Hormuz- Update
BBC News: Reports in its 6.34am post the following, " UAE says one killed in 'brazen' Iranian attacks on tankers in strait "
Let's Get Real:
This comes after another US strike on Iran, the Trump Oval has to finish what it started, that means no more stop and go attacks, there should morning and night attacks and the placing of troops on Kharg Island to take the oil from Iran. The Tehran and appeasing media won't expect that, they all want talks, even if that means appeasing Iran. Trump has to win this war he started.

Trump places new blockade on Iran - Update
BBC News: Reports in its 3.27pm post the following, " Trump says US reinstating blockade on Iranian ports "
Let's Get Real:
This means the ceasefire is over, the blockade is the least bad option for Trump and it hurts Iran on the economic front and negates the US placing troops on Kharg Island. The Trump Oval has to keep its nerve and keep the blockade going, he is charging 20% of the cargo as the US will secure the Strait of Hormuz from Iran. Thus we shall if this works, one doubts that Trump can keep to this course.
