"Can Iran Close the Strait of Hormuz?" Not legally and I am not sure how they are doing it logistically. Mines? Missiles and drones? Insurance? I don't get it. They just say it is closed and it is closed?? What about the other nations that border the strait? Who gave Iran hegemony over the strait?

🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
British deep state city of London still calling the shots on the straight by withdrawing maritime insurance, the tweets he’s posting are directed right at them with - ‘open the straight or your civilisation with be destroyed’
I think the idea is that iran as a threat dies and insurance for that risk will go away. Im prone to believe trump isnt ready to fully end it. Its pushing russia intonhelping and a number of other non nato countries. Is causing the chinese communist party great strain and weakness is being exploited internally. Amd of iran stops n immediately we may have some unfinished business we cant finish inside irann under a cease fire.
Because the IRGC are a terrorist organization that hold the strait hostage. They've been doing it for 47 years!Legally they don't own it control it but want every ship to pay a "toll" to them or bad things will happen.
So what bad things and how are they able to do them? just asking, I don't see how they can do it with impunity and not be stopped . . .
Well, they've been allowed to do it for 47 years under every US president until now. Why?
Terrorism is not a physical strength, it is actually very weak men who use deception and manipulation to accomplish their goals. The wiles of the devil are able to deceive many, it is what he is good at. They are their father of lies and murder
Their position near the mouth of the strait at its narrowest point is effectively what’s giving them the ability to ‘close’ the strait.
At the moment it is largely insurance companies that are doing most of the work in keeping it closed. Rather than Military threat. Refusing payouts and dropping coverage. So Ship owners are stuck as they don’t want to risk their boats or crews. The payouts to any lost crew or their next of kin. Plus repairs and or the loss of the ship outright would be super expensive.
"At the moment it is largely insurance companies that are doing most of the work in keeping it closed."
That makes the most sense.
I am reminded how Grant and Farragut bypassed the high ground of the rebel artillery to take Vicksburg and open the Mississippi. I don't believe that there is any military means Iran can keep Hormuz closed??
Is it Trump telegraphing to the world, secure your own oil??
Research not needed. They have implimented the "new" Covid Lockdown. Now its Scarcity based. Look at Australia, already going down. NWO baby, they are also making Trump look bad in the process. Iran is really not doing it, we don't have solid reporting to say what 'exactly' is happening. BUT, we do know the NWO lockdown is here. Watch how Trump handles it and separates the Hemispheres in the process, we should be fine, still battling the same factions.
What the IRGC is calling for is modern day piracy 🏴☠️. The very legal definition of maritime law for open waters is for free unobstructed passage of vessels. The Straight of Hormuz is that, open maritime water for legal traffic use. For 47 years, the IRGC has been effectively working to become a world super power with their concerted effort of weapon build up including nuclear weapons coupled with their strategic position to take control of the Straight itself and then control the economic power of 90+% of the nations relying on Middle East oil…. Had they succeeded, the world would be a much different place today. Their arrogance was their demise.
There is more going on behind the scenes of just de-arming Iran. IF you understand the recent 100-200 years of the Middle East and who was masterfully involved , then you understand what this conflict was about along with pulling the teeth of a paper tiger. The world was freed with a lethal blow to the City of London banking/finance monopoly. That is for another topic.
thx Steppenwolfe!
No problem! My morning coffee is extra peppy this morning!!!
I am honestly surprised someone hasnt bored a more direct route through that penisula, Suez canal style to provide a more direct shipping route which goes from the Persian Gulf through to the Gulf of Oman, effectively bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
If Iran is denanding each oil tanker to pay $2M for passage, surely that would easily offset the cost of the civil works required within a reasonable payback period, when you consider there are normally 150 ships per day typically passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
And supposedly Saudia Arabia had a pipe-line to bypass it . . .
I think they are using non-existing mines. They then are selling the mine maps to the captains.
Yeah with satellite surveilliance I don't see how they can deploy mines.
Maybe missles attacks if the ships attempt to dock. Iran was make 2 million on tolls alone for every ship that docked for oil.
