Guardian: Reports in its 11.46pm post the following, "Trump says Nato faces 'very bad' future if US allies don't help open strait of Hormuz "
Let's Get Real:
This goes back to 1987 when private citizen Donal Trump took out advert in NYT that opposed the Reagan convoy system of tankers through the Strait of Hormuz due to the Iraq - Iran War, using the same argument that other Countries should do it, as they got a majority of oil. Is the above an empty threat by POTUS, time will tell.
Guardian: Reports in its 2.21pm post the following, " Israel says thousands of targets remain as Iran urges others to avoid war "
Let's Get Real:
Israel will not give up, it has Iran on the robes, Hezbollah on the run Lebanon. This is the time to kill off the threat to Israel, Jerusalem has faced threat for years from Beirut under control of HEZBOLLAH, in Yemen with its terrorists supported by Iran. The Theocracy in Iran has used Terror in the Region, Iraq with US faced terrorism for years. The US has a President who is not afraid to take action, the problem with Trump he is erratic, might declare victory tomorrow with the job half done. The War goes on, the US and Israel have to win.
Fox News: Reports " Trump says nations that rely on Strait of Hormuz oil should help keep it open: report "
Let's Get Real:
In other words Trump knows that the Strait of Hormuz is very dangerous with Iranian mines and Drones, he does not want to risk the US Navy and military personnel before the Mid Terms, it only takes one lucky strike from Iran to really hurt the Royal Navy and Starmer would be finished, like Chamberlain after Norway campaign. The UK should support the US, its our oil prices that are going up, also let's get the French involved, they have an aircraft Carrier in the Middle East.
Sky News: Reports in its 7.26pm post the following, " Starmer discussed 'importance' of reopening Strait of Hormuz with Trump "
Let's Get Real:
This idea that the Royal Navy and others to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz has come from Trump yesterday, these days Iran has smart Drones, unlike during the Iraq - Iran war of the 1980. This idea should be tested first with US ships, the UK should back them up if it works. The UK does not have many ships to lose! We don't have admirals any more!
BBC News: Reports in its 2.56pm post the following, " Iran 'never asked' for a ceasefire or negotations, says foreign minister "
Let's Get Real:
The new Supreme Leader is either dead or in a comma, the system could be working on autopilot has been suggested, the theocracy had 47 years to create layers of authority, thus a nominal authority in charge at present, like a plane on autopilot, the piolts are there but not in control. The US will have to send ground troops in to finish the job, there are only so much facilities you can bomb.
Guardian: Reports in its 2.22pm post that he wants the UK and others to keep the Strait of Hormuz open from Iranian attacks.
Let's Get Real:
Sir Keir Starmer should jump at this, and not dither, the UK and other Countries need the oil, the price of a barrel of oil has gone up to a $100 dollars, that means people pay more at oil garages, the Royal Navy to the rescue again.
Update: After listening to a Sky News defence analyst, this blog thinks we should get the French to supports us, the Tehran Regime has cheap and intelligent Drones that can hit tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, the Royal Navy alone can't do the heavy lifting alone!
Sky News: Reports in its 11.04pm post the following, " Military targets 'obliterated' on Kharg Island, says Trump "
Let's Get Real:
The Trum Oval left the oil facilities on Island alone, but gave a warning to Iran that if it attacks more oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz the Trump Oval will reverse its decision on Kharg, it will be interesting to see what Iran does, will it submit to Trump or carry on the War.
