Didn't Trump say that the US has all of the cards regarding opening the Strait... what happened?

I just like to add:
Seems all the media frenzies about the war there are super manipulated this time!
Both sides are trying their propaganda and medias aren't trusted even the most famous ones
I'm living in Iran
Iranian media tries to show it a great resistance even by concealing some of the damage
And US media tries to exhibit it a victory while most of their claims are far from what's happening here

Must be why Iran is bombing Gulf state neighbor residential areas, and attacking random oil tankers. You are a minority supporter in a terrorist regime lead country. It's about the only reason you eve have the ability to speak. While people like my friend Kourosh still suffer.

PS, you obviously don't watch US media. It's been so divided by internal politics that they can't even agree on the definition of woman. CNN, MSNBC, and other liberal, pro Democrat media will always report negatively on Trump. Fox News is about the only major outlet that supports him.

I have a theory much of this is due to foreign investment. Qatar, has invested tons of money in the US, and is the lead foreigner funder of US education. It also happens to be the most pro IRGC element in your region

I think the only reason Trump hasn't blown that filth into smithereens is because there is a disagreement between Vance and Rubio.

Vance wants to try to work things out peacefully while Rubio wants to annihilate them. So Trump initiated a 60 day "moratorium of understanding" which is just a ceasefire and if they don't obey that then we bomb them. I suppose the Strait of Hormuz thing is a bit of a loophole.

Well, if Trump said it, you can be sure it was a load of utter bollocks!

Its all going to plan. Remember the US doesn't need the strait but who does and who is making money?
