Despite the propaganda from the West, Iran is keeping the Straits closed indefinitely (except for their allies). This was signposted by Iran to try to deter the Zionist neocon warmongers but clearly they didn’t care or take it seriously. Now we will all pay for Netanyahu’s insane war with higher energy and food prices.
US Republicans had great incentives to do this, despite claiming to be pro-business. They’re in the pockets of big oil, for one, and American oil producers are going to make big bank on the increased rates for crude oil barrels.
And that’s on top of the whole “awlays doing what Israel says” factor.

Let’s not minimize the US Republicans culpability here. They bear just as much responsibility for all of this.

There really isn’t any “strait is open” propaganda coming from the US that I’ve seen. Everyone here knows it’s down and out.

US propaganda promises made, Us propaganda promises broken in record time.
Only the five-second tweet from our Energy Secretary who asserted the US would escort ships through the strait.
Which was summarily deleted.
