Iran Begins Closing Strait of Hormuz

22 2025 June 49 706 42

On the night of June 22, the anniversary of the Third Reich's attack on the USSR, the United States struck Iran's nuclear facilities. This was announced by the culprit himself, the Nobel Peace Prize-seeking and frequent talker of World War II American President Donald Trump. He called the attack a "historic moment" for the United States, Israel and the world, and cynically called on Tehran to "agree to end this war."

The situation in the Middle East is deteriorating. Yemen's Houthis have already announced the end of the ceasefire agreement with the Americans. It was concluded at the initiative of the United States after many weeks of strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, several lost fighters and constant "maneuvering" of aircraft carriers in the Red Sea.

Moreover, the lockdown procedure (strict restrictions regime) has been introduced at all US military bases in the Middle East. The Pentagon expects strikes from Iran. Currently, 50 thousand US troops are within the range of Iranian missiles.

In turn, the American TV channel Fox News reported that the US strikes on Iran were preceded by a huge amount of disinformation – from constant media leaks, social media posts and empty negotiations to the large-scale deployment of military transport aircraft, tankers and the officially announced destination of the B-2A Spirit in Guam. It was also noted that the Pentagon deployed a large number of tanker aircraft in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, creating a “refueling bridge” for the continuous flight of bombers to their targets in Iran.

It is also worth adding that over 50 oil tankers are urgently trying to leave the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz in anticipation of its blockade by Iran, which is expected today. There is chaos in these waters.

Oil tankers will not pass to Europe through the Strait of Hormuz

- signaled the Iranian Ministry of Defense.

Several Iranian vessels (mostly IRGC warships and boats) are actively maneuvering near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, moving along key shipping routes.

If Tehran carries out its threat and blocks oil tankers bound for Europe in the Strait of Hormuz, the EU will have to acquire its own shadow fleet.

Note that by giving Iran two weeks to think about its nuclear program and starting to bomb it a few days later, Trump showed what his promises, agreements and "peacekeeping" are really worth. We will soon find out how the Middle East will "become prettier" under him and how "stability" on the planet as a whole will increase.

Oil tankers will not pass to Europe through the Strait of Hormuz

Strange selectivity. Iran has only one real opportunity to close the Strait of Hormuz - total mining, although most likely the time has already been lost. An attempt to selectively shoot through the strait from the shore is doomed, the Americans will demolish all the firing points, they are good at that

    And what about the Houthis? They are shelling ships in the Gulf of Aden. They are unable to take control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

  Washington is even for closing Hormuz!!
  Then the tankers of all the sultanates and kingdoms of the Persian Gulf will be blocked. First of all, the Saudis who can't stand the Persians. What is true is that the Persians and Iranians are the country of the Aryans and the Saudis are Arabs, cattle breeders, desert dwellers. They smell different.
  The Saudis will certainly blow into the ears of the vassal sultanates of the Persians, save the Arab people. And they are already under the control of the British and Washington. Oman, the Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait (they took bases there from Iraq), Bahrain, and...
  So here is a long-term target. The Saudis have an army that is beyond belief - there are not as many people as there is equipment and the rest...
  In addition, Iranians are infidels polluted with superstitions... and pure Islam is Mecca and Medina controlled by the Quraishites from Saudi Arabia.
  You can't clean up the kitchen there.
  Israel is also friends with Azerbaijan against Iran.

  The Houthis were demolished? They were so demolished that they were forced to get away and make peace. It is the Americans who are hiding how much and what their ships, led by the aircraft carrier, got from the Houthis, and they did get it. And the Houthis are just a proxy for a much stronger Iran.
  In addition, anti-ship missiles can be used against non-smart tankers. Do you think their owner would want to lose the vessel? Well, if there are American military ships nearby, they can also get hit hard and sink them to the bottom.

What a "wonderful" time it is!
You can start bombing a country without even declaring a strategic war.
It is possible to bomb a country's nuclear facilities without any reason.
You can spit not only on the UN, international norms, your own words and promises, but also on rules-based orders.
Does anyone still hope for any treaties or agreements? For someone to declare war on someone?
It looks like this mess won't be sorted out without World War III.
The world has moved into reality - do what you want and come what may.
And the "path" of Western democracy has brought the world to this state.

        You are an optimist, don't you remember how, at the shout of the Europeans, the Russian Federation not long ago froze the supply of "S-300" to Iran, although the money had been paid. There will be no other, according to Z. Brzezinski - whose elite in the Russian Federation... Russia first of all needs to become a national state of Russians, and drive out all the comprador scum, which has attached itself since the times of Gaidars, Yeltsins, Chubais and their offspring, to the helms of government...

        The Russia of that time included Ukraine, the Baltics, Finland and Poland. Today, a significant part of the Russia that Bismarck wrote about are enemies of today's Russia. So the words of the Reich Chancellor, pleasant to the ears of a Russian, also apply to those states, five of which are now members of NATO.

        So the territory and population are just decorations? So why then does the Russian Federation make any territorial claims to Ukraine? Why do we need "new regions" if they are just decorations? And Russia, of course, is big, but it is half as big as the USSR was in terms of population, and before that the USSR lost a lot of territory and population during the transformation from the Russian Empire. But let's continue to console ourselves that we are a big country, and everything that is happening is just vanity and decorations... Let's console ourselves with the size of the Moscow Principality of the fifteenth century. It was also bigger than many of today's European countries - so we can console ourselves with that.

        You are even more surprising if you do not understand that it is not the absolute numbers of the population that matter, but its size in comparison with other countries, or, if you prefer, the percentage of the world's population. In the times of the Russian Empire, the planet's population also numbered eight billion? And of these, Russian citizens also made up less than 2%?

Well, that's great. Oil will skyrocket and our budget will no longer be in deficit, and Europe will have to come to us and beg for oil and gas. I think that the US attacked Iran for a reason on the night of June 22, it's a cynical, mocking hint to us..., and maybe the beginning of the third world war, since everything in the world repeats itself.

For some reason I had no doubts about such a development of events. Israel would not have attacked Iran so openly if the US had not pushed it to do so. Terrorist attacks, special operations and other dirty tricks, yes, but here they probably promised a lot of "cookies".

  What "cookies"! Do you think that mono-national ruling clans of the USA manage and buy Israel? They are both managed by the same individuals of a certain nationality, just like Russia. And it doesn't matter where they are, in a three-room apartment on Tverskaya, in Manhattan, in Tel Aviv or in London.
  The USA was created as a new Israel in 1776 due to the lack of land in the Middle East. Who should they now appease and buy in Israel, themselves?
