State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Odd how shipping that follows Iranian directions gets through well enough, unless attacked by US forces.
Almost like shipping that follows the Memorandum of Understanding is allowed passage.
I wonder who is encouraging shipping to bypass The American-Iranian agreement.
Tiny hats.
Trump is impotent. he lost the war and signed the MOU because he had no other choice. The MOU says that Iran controls the strait and determines who gets to use it, when, where, and how. The 4 ships hit today all played along with the British maritime trade directive to defy the Iranians and use the unauthorized Oman channel. That will get you shot at. Trump’s intention is to pretend that Iran is the side that is not keeping the agreement by coercing shipping to take this action. If Iran does nothing, he gets to pretend the Strait is back to normal. If they get shot at to enforce the MOU he claims they are the aggressors. In the end the oil reserves are still shrinking, and the US military is just as incapable of delivering victory as it was before.
