          People are just not esting this shit up anymore. It’s all lies. Huge eye roll and a downvote from me with these blatant lies

            Okay but like, it is still worth reporting on what these people say even if they are full of shit… Like it still has material impact in the real world, in this case meaning they will continue pressing the war on Iran. Stop being childish.

              Ups and DOWNS are their for a reason, kiddo. If you’re only getting your news from lemmy, you’re probably not paying that much attention.

              *Edit: plus this lie is just straight up laughable if it wasn’t draining bank accounts

              *edit2: and that’s just,like, your opinion, man!! You curate your own profile with ridiculous upvotes for “exposure”

                Is he lying about the US implementing an indefinite blockade?

                Obviously the US doesn’t control the Strait, but the blockade is real.

                    Iran’s longer-term goal is to control traffic and charge their own admission fees, not just block it forever.

                    But that’s impossible with a US blockading any attempt at allowing passage for ships that pay the toll.
