Oh! the the pains and arrows, I didn't get a Happy Easter from my forum fried the Kudos Kid, in fact he excluded me entirely, such pain. I'll just have to settle for a chocky egg instead. BUT that does not exclude me from wishing dear Kudos HAPPY EASTER. BTW I thought the Fuhrer band Easter and Christmas for you guys. Oh, well there's always one renegade in the gang!

The crazy man in the White House has lost the plot. Getting on his 'Truth Social' propaganda site with an uncontrolled rant, that would do Hitler proud. The post was laden with expletives, threatening to commit more war crimes against the Iranian people. Trump will unleash Hell on Iran, so he claims, attacking civilian infrastructure such as power stations and water desalination facilities, no doubt schools, hospitals and peoples homes will suffer collateral damage as the Madman seeks to kill and destroy as much as possible.

If Trump had made the same post on this OLO site, GY would be suspending the fool for using profanities! Or would he?

Hi Paul,

Iran's blocking of the strait and its bombing of its neighbours has nothing to do with the war with the US and Israel. What Iran is doing amounts to international piracy and terrorism. Out of interest, did you see how Solemaini's neice has been living in Los Angeles?

Strait of Hormuz Shipping Resumes: Critical Tanker Passage Eases Global Supply Fears

In a significant development for global energy markets and maritime security, a select number of oil tankers and cargo ships have cautiously resumed passage through the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoint. This tentative reopening follows a period of heightened regional tension and offers a fragile signal of stability for supply chains linking the Middle East to Asia and Europe. The movement, confirmed by multiple shipping reports and analytics in early April, involves vessels from Iraq, Malaysia, France, and Japan, marking a potential de-escalation in a volatile corridor.

Hi Fester,
I think I read something about that 'Soleimani's relatives' topic in an X post.
I think it might've been debunked as fake.

As for the previous comment, yes they're calling it the Iranian toll booth.

The Iranian didn't block the strait completely, they have been allowing a small number of what they called "non-hostile vessels" to transit from the beginning. Since they can't match US militarily, blocking off the strait is their biggest weapon. As for charging a toll, that may be the end result. Trump will only agree to a toll, if Trump & Cronies Incorporated get a cut of the action. We can't get too excited, as only 6 ships passed through, pre-war it was more like 115 a day.
