Wait a minute. I thought the USA wanted to unblock the Strait?

US strikes commercial ship trying to breach blockade after it ignored warnings

The US military stopped a merchant vessel trying to break through its blockade of Iranian ports by firing a missile into its engine room, the US Central Command said on Saturday (Sunday NZT).

The Gambia-flagged cargo ship Lian Star ignored more than 20 warnings from US forces overnight as it tried to enter an Iranian port, the military said.

I think it's back to this:

I think he knows that he is going to look like a complete moron if he can't get a deal better than the JCPA, the problem being that it had Obama's signature on it.

He looks like a complete moron all the time. I doubt that figures into his calculation.

As Trump lies outrageously all day every day, situation normal, for him.

Considering that any agreement is just a figment of Trumps imagination.
Tarted up a bit by his vice president and cabinet who do not want to tell the 'Mad King'.
The enablers know its trash.

Its going better than it could go.

Empty threats as IRGC survived the most intense campaign from the air America can manage.
They probably feel pretty good.
Most of their drone cards, ballistic missile cards, underground manufacturing and workshops to make more cards, new Hormuz cards and million dollar tollgate bonus cards.

Trump rhetoric just for the MAGA audience, dumb enough to swallow and regurgitate it, as they watch RFK wrestle with snakes.

America is moving beyond Southpark-for-real.

I was about to post this mockingly, only to learn it's very close to true!

"I guess blue cells duct-taped to a WWII air raid spotlight are the Russian equivalent of a laser defense."

And the reality: The Russians mounted blue LED panels onto an old‑style WWII‑era searchlight in a crude attempt to confuse incoming drones, which worked as well as you'd expect.

I guess previous attempts at blaring "hardbass" music, Russian / Slavic electronic hard dance music associated with gopnik, didn't distract previous drones.

I supposed sharp sticks and slingshots are next line of defense for Russia.

What’s the difference between the Vietnam war and the Iran war?
Trump had a plan to get out of the Vietnam war.

Right above this article in Stuff is one showing the damage in Kuwait after an Iranian strike on the airport. Meanwhile the US is firing on Iranian ships, Netanyahu continues to bomb Lebanon regardless of Trump doing a statistically inevitable truth and telling him that he is why everyone hates Israel, and there are confirmed mine sightings in the old transit lanes where Iran said they put them.

I have to say, this "ceasefire" looks increasingly less ceasey. The last couple of days are proof that Iran retains a significant drone and ballistic missile capability. If Trump or Netanyahu finally crosses whatever line the Iranians have in mind there are still plenty of targets they can take out to make this oil crisis even worse than it currently is. The pipeline the Saudis are using to mostly bypass the Strait has at least two pumping stations, several hundred km of pipe and a terminal in the Red Sea that Iran can take out, and of course there are all the oil fields and their associated infrastructure as well. If the Houthis still have weapons left, they can close Bab al Mandab as well leaving the Suez as the only way out of the Red Sea.

Every day that passes right now brings us closer to the crunch.

Any minute now Trump will release the actual, unredacted Epstein files to distract from this ~~war~~ ~~special operation~~ war.

Its good we have proof of how 'rational' markets are. :-)

Markets that ebb and flow slavishly on Trumps every alternative fact and lying tweet.
