12. Iran totally controls Hormuz

Tue Jun 30, 2026, 09:01 AM

Tuesday

That's why powerhouse Saudi Arabia is making a deal with Iran as I type this. SA is willing to pay fees and in return Iran will grant safe passage through Hormuz and Iran will not attack Saudi oil and gas facilities.

Oman and Qatar are also making deals to pay fees. If Iran doesn't control Hormuz why are these countries agreeing to pay them fees?

Iran went along with the Kabuki Theater negotiations with the US because with Hormuz shut down time was on its side. Iran understood that if gas hit $7/gal in the US for the 4th of July it would devastate Krasnov. Iran also knows that if the US and Israel start bombing it again the price of crude and gas is going to skyrocket.

Invading Iran was one of the dumbest decisions a US president has ever made. Iran is now relevant in the world thanks to Krasnov being duped by Bibi.
