Trump gives Iran 48-hour ultimatum to reopen Strait of Hormuz: 'Hit and obliterate'
- Thread starter Hephaestus
- Start date
Sadly, either trump made it up to make a killing on the market or he said it as a ruse to stop Iran for a few hours while Israel and america attacked again.
Either way, nobody should ever trust america in negotiations again.
Same way trump started this war right after Iran agreed to terms during negotiations.
!That's odd.
your source "Bark" on X appears to have an over active imagination or he just creates misinformation
your source "Bark" on X appears to think he has an excuse when someone calls him on his bullshit'
how convenient
There is no evidence for to support "Bark" on X claim ...... because it is covered up .... Just like last time. And the time before that.

"Bark" on X is a bull shit artist and you are smart enough to have figured that out
instead you intentionally spread misinformation

They claim to have destroyed Iran's nuclear capability, yet they are still making war. Israel is a much larger terror threat. They are using false justification again.... can you say "WMD's"? Meanwhile the world suffers massively, but that's ok, as long as the Trump-Epstein files are off the front page.
Most of his major announcements have been either before the markets opened or after the markets closed. CNN documented timing of most of his major announcements
I wouldnt be surprised it was Scott Bessent or his associates. He is a hedge fund manager
Iran says no dialogue with US:
Iran on Monday denied any dialogue with Washington, dismissing President Donald Trump’s claims as an attempt to lower energy prices and buy time for military plans, several Iranian state-affiliated media outlets reported citing the foreign ministry.
There are “initiatives” from regional countries to “reduce tensions,” the foreign said, according to Mehr News. “Our response to all of them is clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all these requests should be referred to Washington.”

So how's this working out for you and your boy, Heeffy?
Nobody is even paying attention to Israel trying to invade and ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon. Again.
BREAKING: Arab mediators have privately told the Wall Street Journal they are skeptical the US and Iran can reach a quick agreement. The two sides remain “far apart.” Iran is actively distancing itself from talks. Trump is pushing for a deal that the other side says does not exist.
The 5-day pause expires Saturday. The Islamabad meeting has not been confirmed. Ghalibaf calls reports of negotiations “fake news designed to manipulate oil markets.” The Iranian Foreign Ministry has denied contact for the fourth time. And the mediators who are supposed to bridge the gap now privately admit they cannot see the other side of it.
The gap is not rhetorical. It is structural. The United States demands verifiable, unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for all commercial traffic without tolls or vetting. Iran demands lifting of select sanctions, a guarantee against future strikes on energy infrastructure, and recognition of its regional security role. Washington wants the toll booth demolished. Tehran wants to keep the toll booth and be paid to open it wider.
These are not positions that meet in the middle. These are positions that define opposite architectures for the post-war order. The discussions, to the extent they exist, focus on short-term de-escalation: an immediate ceasefire, limited Hormuz reopening, and a framework for longer talks. Not comprehensive peace. Not nuclear rollback. Not Hormuz resolution. A pause within a pause. A framework for discussing a framework.
The ambition has already shrunk from “complete and total resolution of hostilities” to “can we agree to keep talking after Saturday.”
While the diplomats negotiate the shape of the table, three clocks are running that no negotiation can pause. Clock one: the nitrogen trap. The Hormuz corridor denies fertiliser passage at any price. Russia has halted ammonium nitrate exports until after April 21. China has banned nitrogen-potassium blends and phosphate through August. The US Corn Belt nitrogen window closes mid-April. Bangladeshi Boro rice transplanting is underway now. The FAO Food Price Index already rose 0.9 percent in February before the worst impacts hit.
The World Bank estimates every 1 percent fertiliser price increase pushes global food prices up 0.45 percent. Urea is up 30 to 40 percent since the war began. The planting window is biological. It does not wait for Islamabad.
Clock two: the carry trade. Japan’s 10-year yield sits at 2.278 percent, highest since 1999. The 40-year is at 3.77. Life insurers holding $5 trillion in foreign assets are repatriating. The BOJ is signalling tightening. The Fed cannot cut because inflation is 2.7 percent on war oil. The ECB is hiking.
Every day the diplomatic stall continues is a day the carry trade unwind accelerates and global borrowing costs rise.
Clock three: the yuan precedent. Every tanker that pays the IRGC $2 million in yuan to transit the permissioned corridor establishes a precedent for non-dollar energy settlement. Every day the toll booth operates is a day the proof of concept strengthens. The diplomatic stall does not freeze the yuan rail. It accelerates it. By the time the mediators bridge the gap, the payment infrastructure being built under fire may be permanent.
The mediators are skeptical. The sides are far apart. The pause expires Saturday. And the three clocks that actually determine the outcome of this war, nitrogen, yields, and yuan, do not attend diplomatic briefings. They tick. https://open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans

Iran's position on Israel is Israel needs to be exterminated
Can’t make peace with someone who’s identity revolves around killing you
there is no getting around this very ugly reality
As long as radical Islamic madmen seek to exterminate a sovereign state and its 10 million citizens , the madmen are the biggest threat to world peace
wake up
Israel has the right to exist
can you say misinformed, dumber than a bag of hammers, ideological fool ?
Meanwhile your failed ideology has caused long term suffering where ever it is implemented, but that's ok, as long as you get whine about where ever it is not implemented
so if you were given two and only two option which would you chose ?
- be exterminated
- take out those that seek to exterminate you
The Soviet Union was one of the most disgusting and evil empires ever
I despise the Soviet Union and the evil they inflicted on their own citizens and other nations
Yet when attacked in a war of extermination by Hitler, they were fully justified in defending themselves and killing every Nazi they could find
Germany and Germans paid a terrible price for adopting genocide as a national policy
Iran will pay a terrible price for adopting genocide as a national policy
