Iran....must say, very confusing!

What’s really confusing me is,, The reason the Straight of Hormuz has been closed to shipping because of the threat posed by militants/ pirates/ Iranian extremists/ etc running gun boats, torpedo boats and firing at the oil tankers etc. So why is the Trump forces bombing the sh!t out of the rest of Iran?? Last i heard the Septics had at least one aircraft carrier and two destroyers either in or very near to the Straight itself,,, so why not simply sit and wait, and vaporise any gun ships or torpedo boats that venture out towards any oil tankers. See how long they’d keep trying to fire on tankers then. And leave the rest of Iran alone.

If you are not actively bombing them, you pay $2M per ship in Chinese yuan they will allow your ship safe passage.

So answer it depends

So this so called ceasefire for a fortnight has already been compromised.
And now,,, they are all argueing as to whether or not Israel bombing Hezbolla is in breach of the agreement.

FFS,,,,,,,,,,, didn't USA or Iran or Pakistan think that it might be a good idea to put the ceasefire agreement itself in writing at the time ???
:wtf: :crazy:

Or would that have been as "Wes Harrison" the comedian would have said,,, "Too simple"

The implication is what, they will nuke Israel? Blocking a shipping lane has brought the world to its knees. Why bother with nukes?

Unfortunately I don't subscribe to Sky News and watch very little MSM so I am forced to think for myself.

Not just Israel at risk mate , all western infidels are at risk. Iran would love to get a jihadist into the US with a suitcase “dirty bomb” . Iran has been funding and supporting radical Islamic groups for quite a while, that have acted around the globe. The revolutionary guard are as hard core as hitlers SS in their ideology. I don’t blame trump for our fuel and fertiliser problem, I blame our leadership for relying on importing instead of making it here and supporting our sovereignty , security and jobs. If Iran develops nukes our current problems will seem trivial

Logically, they just block the various straits and no shipping of oil or fertilizers and countries are negotiating much faster than a nuke because it impacts them this week. And they are selling oil to allies of the USA so as long as they pay while they are under sanctions then the money keeps rolling in.

Nobody says anything about Israel forces in Syria taking land after Turkey supported an ex isis leader to take over Syria. Who was on the USA $10M wanted list. Never get between a bunch of seagulls fighting over a chip.

no negotiating if they use or launch a nuke . they don't mind dying to get to heaven . they don't care about retaliatory strikes either . if they develop nukes all this talk about getting oil through the straight is a mute point. the initial reason for this war was to castrate a radical regime , it's iran that's made oil the issue

i got a idea why don't we drill for our own oil and make fertilizer here . like we used to :roll:
at least QLD premier david crusifulli is doing something . he's been good , rejected albo-sleazies gun laws and buyback which got my attention :thumbsup:

If one can't work it out for oneself then no amount of explaining will help.
Nukes are simply one of a suite of pretexts, the real "nuke" for the US is oil trading in any currency other than US dollars.
That is the knife at the US's throat and if that practice were allowed to spread then that will mean the end of their magic printing press of US dollars and they will be soon swallowed by their 39 trillion of debt.
