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

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.
