Starkiller Posted Sunday at 04:26 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:26 AM Vice President JD Vance said marathon talks with Iran did not result in an agreement to permanently end the war. “We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news,” Vance said at a press appearance in Islamabad. “The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,” he said. “And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious but it's the first time that I can see them actually trying to address a problem. Iran is profiting off of the blockade. So they're removing that profit ... in a hilarious way.

ctm Posted Sunday at 02:56 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:56 PM (edited) ANNUAL THREAT ASSESSMENT OF THE U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY March 2025 page 26: We continue to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that Khamenei has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003, though pressure has probably built on him to do so. ttps://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/ATA-2025-Unclassified-Report.pdf Mar 18, 2026 2:34 PM CT Iran did not rebuild its uranium enrichment capability following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against its nuclear program last year, U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard told a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Wednesday. "As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There has been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. The entrances to the underground facilities that were bombed have been buried and shuttered with cement," Gabard wrote in an opening statement ahead of the hearing. https://time.com/article/2026/03/18/tulsi-gabbard-iran-nuclear-trump/ Edited Sunday at 03:02 PM by ctm OILERMAN, and Jamalisms 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted Sunday at 03:31 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:31 PM (edited) ISLAMABAD (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday said the U.S. Navy would “immediately” begin a blockade to stop ships from entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, after U.S.-Iran peace talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement. Trump sought to exert strategic control over the waterway responsible for the transportation of 20% of global oil supplies before the war, hoping to take away Iran’s key source of economic leverage in the fighting. The president added that he has “instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/locked-and-loaded-trump-announces-us-navy-blockade-of-strait-of-hormuz-threatens-iran-after-failed-talks/ar-AA20HLAU?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=69dbafe840f8448c8837578e988e1952&ei=16 Even less oil will be available for the world's supply. Interesting to see how China, India and a few others react to this. And btw, interdicting ships in international waters is regarded as an act of war.

9 Nines Posted Sunday at 04:00 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:00 PM The USA is mighty because of capital and military hardware. It has no corner on foreign affairs strategy etc. And right now it is not on par with other nations, it is behind them in strategy because the Administration is full of imbeciles. The secretary of state and the treasury secretary are the only cabinet members with normal credentials and neither is overly impressive; the rest have no qualifications and they are Trump zealots versus intelligent and competent people. My point: China, Russia and Iran can easily take advantage of this stupid policy that is not thought out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted Sunday at 05:25 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:25 PM Trump doesn’t give a shit about obeying laws here in America. Does anyone seriously think he gives a flying fuck about trivialities like international law and the Geneva convention? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted Sunday at 05:42 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:42 PM Unless they invade Kharg this does next to nothing to hurt the Iranian Regime. It hurts our allies, China, and India. Iran has pipelines around the Strait so it isn't stopping their shipping. Higher prices help them and Russia. We are so far down the rabbit hole I can't tell if this is just Trump's dementia flaring or the follow through on the resource war. Either situation results in the US spending a ton of money and our gas prices going up, likely in perpetuity as the world turns against us. This is turning into our Suez Canal event.

Starkiller Posted Sunday at 06:07 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:07 PM So the market will drop on Monday. Then insiders will short oil and invest in the market 5 minutes before Trump announces an end to the blockade on Tuesday.
