Strait of Hormuz Update

Created at Aug 10, 2026 08:55:31 149.**.48.165 359 11 0

I was sitting at my kitchen table this morning, casually sipping my coffee and reading the news, when I stumbled across Iran's official proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Honestly, I haven’t seen a list of demands this ambitious since my seven-year-old nephew wrote his letter to Santa.

According to The Guardian, to get the water flowing smoothly again, all the US has to do is:
- Pinky-promise to never threaten Iran again and permanently end all regional hostilities.
- Pack up its entire military, lift the naval blockade, and politely leave the neighborhood.
- Pay "complete compensation" for war damages.
- Lift all sanctions and hand over every penny of frozen assets, no questions asked.

I’ve got to hand it to them—you have to admire that level of confidence. That’s not a peace negotiation; that’s a "winning the lottery" wishlist!

Trump hasn't done anything right either, but for it to be balanced, Iran must also explicitly state that it will no longer support groups behind terrorism.

So they're saying they won't end the war.

Because if a peace deal isn't reached, they'll just attack again in six months.
It goes right back to the beginning, like a squirrel running on a wheel.
US attacks, Iran attacks neighboring countries, closure of Hormuz, rising oil prices, global economic decline..... repeating all over again....

It seems unlikely that the US will make a preemptive strike.

Iran still hasn't come to its senses.

Is Iran the only one that hasn't come to its senses? Someone who has lost their mind even more...

Trump is the one who needs to get his act together... Do you know how much damage Iran has suffered because of the unilateral attack this guy launched without any justification?

It seems you don't know how the situation is unfolding.
The Saudi prince told Trump directly. "Trump, you have no cards left now. Stop it now."
Saudi Arabia has been Trump's best friend all this time.

It's true that the US started the war, but if they agreed to stop it or whatever, both sides should abide by it. Iran broke it first, so now, just because the US threatens them verbally, is Iran really going to just say "yes, sir"? Iran is a total thug as well.

Dumbass Trump. If he had just threatened them, Iran would have chickened out and caved in, but he started a war instead of just threatening and couldn't even break even, tsk tsk.

Seriously, why start a war.... There's zero benefit, and it only gives them leverage~~~ Argh~~~
