“I believe he is saying there is no enemy”

Then who is disrupting the traffic in the Straits of Hormuz?

Do you think our military couldn’t take over the Strait of Hormuz at will?

Our Gulf allies are suffering from the closure of the strait.They are losing revenue as well. The Iranians are playing the good cop, bad cop hustle. The bottom line is they are delaying to see who blinks first. Hopefully, Trump will not let this go on for too long.

By the way, the Iranian regime announced it is not accepting the extension of the ceasefire.

Factions. There is no central cohesive government. It only requires “last standing orders” with one group, probably disconnected from the rest, to fire something off.

It’s disconcerting that FReepers are so fickle when they should know there’s many facts they don’t have.

If Iran is fracturing by the day, the best thing is to watch, until you can’t.
