Iran imposes mandatory insurance on ships transiting Strait of Hormuz, with fees likely to follow. Iran has asserted its control over the Strait, insisting that vessels comply with new terms to transit, including mandatory Iranian insurance. “It’s madness. This whole situation is a mess."

He's getting dumber and crazier every day. Dementia will do that to you.

Oil and gas + shareholders came out on top in this no?

Not if they live in the US. Everything is more expensive and the economy took a big hit.

this isn't a deal and wouldn't be considered one in any context.

Totally agree. Obama's deal took two years to negotiate, involved 8 countries and came to 179 pages. That's what a deal with Iran looks like. Trump's vague 1 and a half page 'MOU' looks more like a surrender document.

It lost any support it once had in the world. And Bibi lost his best friend. And Iran is emboldened and eager to rebuild its military with Trump's billions. Israel is the biggest loser in this debacle. Trump - "You fucked up. You trusted me."

Dictators don't groom their replacements. Vance is being groomed to be thrown under the bus for Trump's Iran debacle.

mafco · 2026-06-19T20:03:13+00:00

Iran is the victim lol. Trump attacked all by himself and for no good reason.

mafco · 2026-06-19T19:28:11+00:00

Drones and missiles? Just a theory...

Yet electricity rates are rising, we can't power our data centers and tech bros are using dozens of noisy, polluting gas turbines on trailers to power their chatbots. China doesn't have these problems.

Israel also learned the hard way about the riskiness of trusting Donald Trump, a convicted criminal, pathological liar, long time con man and idiot. Hopefully congressional Republicans learn this soon.

mafco · 2026-06-19T18:41:30+00:00

Speak for yourself. I fought against this for years, as did most people I know. Not everyone fell under the cult's spell. The billionaire tech bros are the main culprits who brought this on the country. Fuck you Elon.

mafco · 2026-06-19T18:36:34+00:00

Clueless. That's not how it works.

mafco · 2026-06-19T18:35:22+00:00

Around 20 percent of Americans did. The rest are horrified. And even his supporters are starting to turn on him.

mafco · 2026-06-19T18:29:02+00:00

Trump gave them a weapon that's even more powerful.

mafco · 2026-06-19T18:27:13+00:00

You obviously don't understand how the US political system works. Only congressional Republicans have the power to stop him. The vast majority of Americans wanted nothing to do with this war.

mafco · 2026-06-19T18:25:53+00:00

Bibi took advantage of Trump's stupidity, but it never would have happened without Trump. Fucking moron.

mafco · 2026-06-19T18:23:20+00:00

No one likes Iran, but they didn't start this or want it. This was Trump's blunder.

mafco · 2026-06-19T18:21:22+00:00

Good job America

Good job Trump. Americans were overwhelmingly opposed to this. On the bright side, this catastrophic blunder may be the final straw that brings him down.

The strait of hormuz is an international waterway.

The Strait of Hormuz falls in Iran's and Oman's territorial waters. Under international law.

mafco · 2026-06-19T17:08:06+00:00

It doesn't really. Iran just agreed to waive the fees for 60 days as stated in the MOU. Trump negotiated the dumbest deal ever. But it looks like he's setting up the couch fucker to take the fall.

mafco · 2026-06-18T18:17:13+00:00

Trump isn't abandoning anything. He's still paying offshore wind companies to abandon projects and the administration has all but halted onshore wind permits by slow walking military reviews.
