Trump's already made it clear he's not interested in negotiations right now, so this threat feels more like posturing than anything concrete. Worth seeing if they actually follow through or if this is just for domestic consumption.
This is absolutely insane, we're literally one miscalculation away from a full blown regional war and nobody seems to care?? It's 3am and I'm reading about potential blockades and military threats like this is normal geopolitical theater.
Me no understand why Iran keep make threat when Trump already win, Trump just laugh at them, me have big brain like Trump me MAGA.
The real problem here is that threatening commercial shipping is going to get NATO allies involved whether Iran intends that or not, and suddenly this isn't just a US-Iran issue anymore.
Blockading their ports is exactly what they deserve, they've been funding terrorism for decades and zero people care about their threats.
If Iran actually wants to negotiate they're going about it exactly the wrong way, and Trump has never been one to respond well to threats.
Me think Iran talk big but Trump no back down, Trump strong like bear, me like that about Trump me MAGA.
