For those keeping track at home.
The Iranians have now blockaded the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US blockading it because the Iranians had blockaded it, in response to the US attacking Iran to ensure that the Strait which was fully open at the time wasn't blockaded
|
And this was after they attacked Iran to destroy the facilities they obliterated last year when they attacked Iran.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War
If somebody had the nerve (and money) to do it, this could be one of the funniest war films ever made.
There must be shed loads of jokes, wisecracks, quips, one liners and ego busting situations to make a great blockbuster

Ceasefire ends tomorrow

We're loaded up': Trump warns US military 'raring to go' after restocking during ceasefire
More to bring you from Donald Trump now, who has told CNBC the US military has used the ceasefire with Iran to restock on equipment.
"We're loaded up," he said.
Asked about the possibility of extending the ceasefire, Trump said: "I don't want to do that. We don't have that much time... I expect to be bombing because I think that's a better attitude to go in with."
He added: "We have so much ammo, so much of everything... we've used this to restock and they probably have done a little bit of restocking.
"We're ready to go. The military is raring to go."

Lol.
He does come across as a bit of a failed boxing promoter! If he ever gave that job a go, I'm sure he'd be beaten up after the first fight for talking up a no-hoper! The bookies would probably love him though!

Clearing Strait of Hormuz of mines could take 6 months, Pentagon tells Congress
The Pentagon assessment, shared in a classified briefing for lawmakers, suggests gasoline and oil prices could remain elevated through the midterm elections.
It could take six months to fully clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines deployed by the Iranian military, and any such operation is unlikely to be carried out until the U.S. war with Iran ends, the Pentagon has informed Congress — an assessment that means the conflict’s economic impact could extend late into this year or beyond.
A senior Defense Department official shared the estimate, which has not been previously reported, during a classified briefing Tuesday for members of the House Armed Services Committee, said three officials familiar with the discussion. The timeline — met with frustration by Democrats and Republicans alike, two of these people said — is perhaps the clearest sign that gasoline and oil prices could remain elevated long after any peace deal is reached…
… Richard Nephew, an expert on Iranian diplomacy and senior researcher at Columbia University, said the six-month time frame to clear the strait of mines is likely to jolt oil and gas markets given the concern insurers, shipowners and captains will have about moving through a mined sea lane.
“You’re not going to have many people wanting to run that risk,” he said. The presence of mines might not cause a “total interruption,” Nephew said, but the consequences of a two-track strait being partially unusable could be significant.
