Iran stopped oil tanker traffic through the crucial waterway after Israel attacked Lebanon, semi-official news agency Fars reported. According to Fars, just two oil tankers had crossed the strait since the ceasefire came into effect.

2. This is clearly unsustainable.

Iran may end up making itself a bigger immediate problem for everyone than Trump, quite a feat, if they don't think this through.

What do you do when neither "side" is worth supporting?

4. Harken back just a month or so

to when travel through the Strait was not an issue, and remind me who the problem is again, both immediate and long term.

[OC375]

13. Agreed, but it's still not sustainable, even for 24 hours, apparently.

5. At this point I choose the side I don't know!!!

The other choice has made life a living hell for too long!

12. Your linked topic couldn't be bothered to provide anything to back the title. This topic here is duplicating...

A grand total of nothing.

Bibi and Trump are war criminals.
