Will the solution to the Strait of Hormuz be an acceptance of Iran's right to impose a toll *provided* they split it with Oman?
And will the Tangerine Tyrant be willing to let such a settlement be part of peace deal without trying to snag some of the fee for the USA?
And, if that money is used for Iranian reconstruction would that be something that would push a ceasefire into a peace deal?
Or are we just going to see more escalation between two powers unwilling to back down?
@ChrisMayLA6 Tolls are a non-starter. That would mean, that every single country on the planet, who controls a stretch of sea, would have to impose tolls to counter the iran/oman tolls.
That would be economic suicide.
Hmmm..... the tolls on the Panama Canal (which are sort of analogous) have a long history. I'm not sure that other Straits would have the same ability to charge or the willingness/interest in doing so. But the Hormuz tolls look to have become a clear Iranian condition for 'peace'
@ChrisMayLA6 @h4890 I suggest that Iran’s control over Hormuz is more of an insurance policy against the existential threat from Israel. Diplomacy is needed but the paedophiles and felons in the US and Israel prefer war-war over jaw-jaw.
@H4Heights @ChrisMayLA6 But you must keep in mind that israel is only defending itself. After all, their culture was almost eradicated in ww2, so they have every reason to attack anyone who threatens to bomb them out of existence, like iran has repeatedly done.
@H4Heights @ChrisMayLA6 What is this "zionist" ideology? This term arouses suspicion in me. Israel is a modern, democratic country, used to living under constant threat of eradication and a new holocaust. I think calling it "zionist ideology" is very sinister.
@h4890 @ChrisMayLA6 Dude… do some research. A lot of research. Bon chance.
@H4Heights @ChrisMayLA6 No, you sound like an extremist. You should contact your local israeli embassy and meet jews in person. They are wonderful people!
Arabians on the other hand... they just rape and wage war. Should be forbidden outside arabia! 🇮🇱 ✝️ 🇺🇸
@h4890 @ChrisMayLA6 Yes. But. The Zionist ideology at the inception of the state of Israel has morphed and evolved into something very sinister that the region has learned to fear and not without reason.
