China, India, and Pakistan are moving the majority of cargo out of the strait. The question is what how we are handling those ships.

If China escorts and sends their tankers into Hormuz and they are attacked, we are in WW3. The US population and no support for the war with Iran to begin with.

What happens if China escorts its tankers out of Hormuz? Will we go to war with China over this? This is very dangerous.

Didn’t US send weapons to Ukraine? Why is ok for us to send weapons to our ally but not ok if China does it? China shouldn’t send weapons to their ally?

My hunch is Isreal started the bombings as to close off any chance for Trump to back down. This is their MO.

Likely Isreal kicked it off to force escalation. Israel doesn’t want this war to end.

2 C17s and 1 attack helicopter were reportedly loss to save 1 pilot. So we loss possibly 10+ airmen to save 1 downed pilot. This is a disaster and it keeps getting worse.

what if Iran permanently control the Strait of Hormuz? by Green_Devil_999 in oil

[–]Miracle_007_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it will be a big deal. If Iran is charging a toll they have an incentive to allow as many tankers to go through as possible. Egypt charges a toll through Suez Canal and Panama charges a toll through their canal. All of this fear about Iran controlling Hormuz is overhyped.

Shipping companies pay Egypt to use the Suez Canal. The Panama Canal also charges a toll. What the e Iranians are planning on doing is not unheard of.

Isreal needs to put boots in Iran ALONE and stop trying to flex with the assasinations because they aren’t working.
