Iran will completely shut the strategic Strait of Hormuz if Trump executes threats to target Iranian energy facilities, the country’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement on Sunday.
Trump on Saturday threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if Tehran did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48-hours, suggesting a significant escalation barely a day after he talked about “winding down” the war, now in its fourth week.
In their Sunday statement Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also said companies with U.S. shares will be ‘completely destroyed’, if Iranian energy facilities were targeted by Washington and energy facilities in countries that host U.S. bases will be ‘lawful’ targets.
Trump assumes the IRGC are as dumb as him and the people he’s surrounded himself with, which is going to be catastrophic for how this goes for him. The IRGC are theocratic authoritarians who are not motivated by money, and he can’t conceive of this, so is clearly at a total loss as to how to handle the situation he has created
I’m in a very very privileged position to be able to say this, but I am more than happy to pay a little bit extra at the pump and on my gas bill, just for that colossal fuckwomble to be shown up on the world stage for being a weapons grade tosser.
Is it childish? Yes. Does it make me feel slightly better about the world? Also yes.
So the tens of millions that are going to suffer famine across the global south, and the tens of thousands that will die in the third world hospitals without power, are price you’re willing to pay?
Good to know.
No you illiterate fuck, I said I’d pay a little more at the pump to see one of the most narcissistic and dangerous world leaders get knocked down a peg or two on the world stage.
It’s soul destroying seeing the human cost of such a conflict, but your virtue signalling is both misplaced and ineffective.
You don’t get one without the other. You don’t get to choose.
