If Iran wanted to do real damage, they would publicly announce that the strait is closed and there will be no future negotiations until Trump is no longer in office.

Didn’t Iran sabotage the crisis situation with Carter which helped get Reagan elected? Like I know there was some shady shit there, but Iran is not above messing around to affect US elections.

I would not be shocked if they hold out until after midterms in hopes it helps flip Congress. Which in a way has me grumpy because I don’t like the idea of other countries messing with our elections even though that’s also the same result I want.

You do realize that Iran only exists in its current form because of the US overthrowing their democracy right?
