US Blockade? Or US sacrifice….
Sun 5:19 pm +00:00, 12 Apr 2026Trump’s usual ‘we’re gonna win’ of ‘we’ve already won’ is not America, but Israel talking. Getting the US to commit to the war in the Middle East is the aim. As for the notion of winning, the MAGA set like such talk, and the more the Americans commit, the happier the Israeli strategists.
The Iranians are not so dumb, and letting US ships enter the Gulf brings them nicely in range of drones, missiles, torpedoes and even artillery. Israel is fine with US ships being sunk, and the anticipated reaction of the American people to the loss of a major ship or two, making them up for revenge. (Forgetting that the US already sank an unarmed Iranian ship returning from exercise in the Indian ocean)
Israel wants a war. Iran wants to inflict a major strategic defeat on the US and drive the US out of the MIddle East. America effectively had no representation at the peace talks, as all US negotiators bat for Israel, as does Donald Trump himself.
The Epstein syndicate of total evil is running the show. Iran’s had enough, and will fight for her sovereignty against America until America is gone. Let the ships come in. Let the blockade begin. America’s servitude to Epstein has to be crushed, and Iran needs targets.
Air defences are being rushed in to Iran – Manpad for low flying craft and no doubt some S-400s to knock out high altitude bombers. Iran will not have wasted the briefest of ceasefires, as the inevitable bloodbath moves ever closer.
Earlier version of this post that got lost in the works –
Iran’s not as stupid as you think.
Allowing US ships into The Gulf brings them into range of Iranian missiles, drones and torpedoes, not to mention artillery when close to shore.
Israel won’t care if the US loses ships. The American public will not be happy and will get sucked into the war deeper.
Iran has wanted the US to commit forces to the fight, same as Israel does, so that a defeat can be inflicted on the US.
Trump talks for Israel, oversimpifying the strategic situation – we’re gonna win, he claims. Whatever happens, we’re gonna win. Israel wins when America gets embroiled in a quagmire and has to commit all its forces and resources to the Middle East. Defeat is unthinkable to Israel, and the USA is expendable to Israel.
Iran wants that fight to be fought, and an end to US standoff attacks. Equipping with air defence so that Israeli and US bombing fleets can be shot down is also no doubt going on.
