Afrasianet - Emad Daoud - Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz!
That alone was enough... But today she said: Bab al-Mandab is coming!
Two straits... One-fifth of the earth's oil in the first, and ten in the second!
One hand presses the heart of the global economy — and squeezes them mercilessly!
Trump set his deadline: 8 p.m. Washington time, 3 a.m. Tehran time.
He wanted to wake up alone to the result while the others slept, but Iran doesn't sleep!
Its president registered his name in the lists of martyrs, and fourteen million preceded him!
Young people are tangling around power stations - not because the regime ordered them, but because the plane that came to free them came over their heads!
Nothing welds a people to a regime they hate like foreign bombing!
It's not philosophy, that's what's happening now as we comment!
Trump threatens: "An entire civilization will die tonight!"
"And maybe something wonderful will happen... Who knows?!"
Two sentences in one post: the first is a threat, the second is a search for a way out!
A man who threatens does not say "who knows"!
Thirty-eight days of intertwined sounds...
He threatened to hit the oil — he didn't!
Threaten to open Hormuz — and Hormuz is still closed!
And now it threatens again... The mediators are moving without a decision, and the truce in Pakistan has not been accepted and has no effect.
Three Wills in One Room:
Pakistan proposes... Iran wants an end to the entire war with guarantees — not a temporary truce, and Trump says: I am the only one who will declare a ceasefire!
No one decides.
The strait is closed, oil exceeds $100, ships are delayed by an extra ten days for each trip, and insurance companies have closed the Gulf files!
This is not a blockade...
This is an organized drain of the world's artery in one piece!
Iran knows that it has the last card. And Trump knows she knows!
Accounts collapse when someone behaves like a man whose image has been insulted in front of the world...
The picture worries Trump more than the strait itself!
A U.S. plane crashed over Iran, and its pilot survived in what Trump called "the most complex in American history."
When the rescue of one pilot becomes a historic event, it becomes clear that the war is not going as promised!
The coming hours will not decide anything:
Either a temporary truce that Trump calls a victory!
Or postpone the deadline with a new name!
Or a blow that makes Bab al-Mandeb a reality rather than a threat!
In any case, the straits have become weapons.
Whoever owns a weapon does not throw it away before he gets its price...
And the price — it has not yet been agreed!
Who owns the strait? He doesn't just have the sea!
Who owns the strait? He has someone who passes through it!
Who owns the strait? He has the decision!
Control of the two straits is the rule, and suffocation is the message!
