Iran pushes plan to charge billions for Strait of Hormuz management as Trump denies fee scheme

Iran's negotiations over Hormuz management would give Tehran unprecedented control over a chokepoint through which 20 percent of global oil normally flows. The regime is examining international models, including Turkey's Dardanelles arrangement and the Malacca Straits Patrol, to justify the arrangement.


Now back to our regularly scheduled war.

Sounds about as informed as when folks claimed the world was ending because there wasn't more oil to be produced. Trump is itching for using nukes, doomers itching for the end of the world...whatever floats your boat I suppose.

While I don't think it's necessary to be a Doctor with years of experience dealing with mentally unstable and disturbed individuals to recognize that Trumpolini poses a genuine threat as someone who would use a Nuke to demonstrate he's the biggest, toughest bully on the block, it's also pretty clear  that someone who has admitted his expertiese is limited to the narrrow field of Rocks for Jocks isn't the best choice of people to evaluate the likelihood of the Warmonger-in-Chief deciding he needs to glaze over Tehran as the "FINAL SOLUTION" for freeing up Hormuz from the control of Towel Heads determined to shut down global Happy Motoring.

His Trumpness has already made thinly veiled threats of wiping out the entire Iranian population and erasing thm from the history books to get his way.  He's clearly frustrated, even the lapdogs and syncophants that enable him in CONgress have been turning against him and the likelihood the Repugnants lose the House & Senate in fair elections grows by the day.  The military virtually admits they're short of conventional weapons for carpet bombing Iran, so what's left for him to leverage here to get them to capitulate?  It worked for "Give 'em Hell Harry" Truman against the Japanese, right?

I still hold the Hopium out that somewhere along the Chain of Command that common sense will prevail and even if he orders it, the order will be refused, but it's still a legitimate concern.  To argue otherwise is at best unrealistic.

One doctor with years of experience.  Lets give him/her the number of years of experience as 20 each.





225 times twenty years is 4500 years of experience.  So many professionals taking the same position says that maybe perhaps, they are on to something.

I wonder how many Psychiatrists would be willing to go on record saying Chump is NOT a MALIGNANT NARCISSIST who poses a threat of authorizing a nuclear first strike?  Any Shrink who would say that should have his license to practice medicine revoked.  El Trumpo is  a walking, talking example of DSM-V psychosis diagnostic pathologies.  Beside Narcissist, Megalomania, Misogyny, Pedophilia, Paranoia, Rapist & Pathological Liar all have plenty of documented statements or actions to make a valid diagnosis.  AKA, CRIMINALLY INSANE.

Under the circumstances telling America to muzzle its pets in Tel Aviv is appropriate. The warning shows America to be WEAK.

Eulogist at Khamenei funeral in Iran calls for death of Donald Trump

Speaking before prayers over Khamenei's body, Mohammad Rasouli said: “Why shouldn't we kill the one who killed my Imam and my Leader?”  “It is a disgrace for us if we do not kill your killer,"


I remember when America was the Great Satan.  In those days I kept my opinions to myself.


Check out the date on this one.



Satan replies:

But you ask if I am threatened. Threatened? My dear, I am the Prince of Darkness, Architect of the Fall, the Serpent of Old who defied the Almighty Himself. Do you truly believe that a man—a bloated, orange-hued charlatan—could usurp my throne?But you ask if I am threatened. Threatened? My dear, I am the Prince of Darkness, Architect of the Fall, the Serpent of Old who defied the Almighty Himself. Do you truly believe that a man—a bloated, orange-hued charlatan—could usurp my throne?

 

I have made men like Trump for centuries. He is not my rival—he is my instrument. He serves my will. His lies are my whispers, his hatred my melody. And when his moment in the sun fades, when his empire of fraud and fury collapses under its own grotesque weight, I will be there. I will take his soul as I have taken the souls of so many tyrants before him. And he will weep. And he will beg. And I will smile.

TEHRAN — In a display of public grief that appears to contradict years of Western media portrayals, hundreds of thousands of mourners have flooded the streets of Tehran for the third day of a seven-day funeral program for Iran's slain Supreme Leader, Imam Ali Khamenei.

The gathering at the Grand Mosalla Mosque—the largest in Iran—has drawn crowds so vast that journalists on the scene estimate attendance in excess of one million people, including those in the immediate vicinity of the mosque complex. The morning prayer on July 5 concluded with worshippers packing the square and surrounding areas so densely that reporters were unable to navigate through the crowds for approximately 45 minutes.

"This is challenging directly the narrative that the West has been hearing for years—that the supreme leader of this country was widely despised and enjoyed very little support amongst the population," said this reporter, observing from Tehran. "People could see the physical evidence of the absurdity of this at this very moment."
A Nation in Mourning

The slain leader, along with family members who were killed alongside him, lies in state at the Grand Mosalla Mosque. Mourners have traveled from across Iran to pay their respects, including from provinces such as Kerman, Hamadan, and Alborz—some making journeys of five hours or more by car.

Among those interviewed were families, students, and volunteers from the Basij paramilitary organization, which one member described as a social service organization that "helps people build houses, build healthcare centers" rather than a purely military force. Volunteers at the event assisted with crowd control and guided attendees through the massive complex.
Grief and Resolve

Mourners interviewed at the scene expressed profound personal loss, with many referring to Khamenei as a "father figure."

"You see, in fact, he was our father," one attendee explained. "The leader was our father, and if in reality you lost your father, maybe after one week or two weeks you will forget it. But this lasting—the loss of our leader is very difficult for us."

Many expressed belief that the United States and Israel were responsible for the assassination, citing the late leader's opposition to what they termed "arrogant governments."

"The Americans and Israelis have a problem with our belief, with our school of thought," one mourner stated. "So if instead of our leader, another person—they would kill him too. They have a problem with our belief."
Rejection of Negotiations

A recurring theme among those interviewed was opposition to negotiations with the Trump administration, despite the US president's recent comments about the mourning crowds. When asked about Trump's suggestion that the tears might be "fake," mourners were unequivocal.

"This is completely a lie," one attendee responded. "These are feelings that come from our heart. It's not correct. Trump is a big liar and a big actor—he thought all people are the same team. No."

A volunteer with the Basij organization articulated a common sentiment: "We have a saying: 'A wise man never gets bitten twice.' We cannot trust them."

Several mourners expressed conditional openness to negotiations, but only if ordered by the country's new leadership, saying: "We do not like to negotiate with the United States, but based on our leader's order, we just follow him."
The War and Its Toll

The funeral comes amid what mourners described as an ongoing conflict, with one attendee stating: "We lost our commander, we lost our leader... we have some very good achievements against oppressors, but also some very big losses."

Another, a student at an Islamic school, declared: "With the assassination of our leader and the martyrdom of his family, we will be more powerful than before. We are standing here to damage any arrogant power."

When asked what message they would send to the West, one mourner urged "the Western youth to listen to their heart... and support the Iranian nation." Another added: "History will be made by poor people. God says the poor people will make history."
Historical Context

The gathering represents one of the largest public displays of support for Iran's leadership in recent memory, occurring at a time of heightened tensions between Tehran and Western powers. As the seven-day funeral program continues, observers expect even larger crowds in the coming days.

The event has forced international media to confront a reality that many Western outlets have been reluctant to acknowledge—the apparently deep well of public support for Iran's supreme leadership despite years of sanctions, international isolation, and military conflict.

As one mourner put it: "Any people you see here came with his own discipline. We came to say thanks to our martyr leader and say goodbye to him, and to say we are ready to support the new leader."
