Political Question Iran says it will re-open the Strait of Hormuz when Trump is removed as President. Does that sound like a good deal?

u/neonnaps 21d ago

I've done the math and the fastest way is delivery by catapult.

All we need is a 7 stage catapult (first one launches the next six catapults, and at the apex, the second one launches the remaining 5 and repeat). For the landing, Iran just needs to provide 10 men holding a large sheet.

I'm 76% sure it will work.

Yes. At this point, one can’t help but not blame Iran in this instance. Trump and/or Vance have met with Iranian leaders many times. Deals were negotiated, signed, and then what does the Trump regime do? Shit all over the deal put in place. Every. Single. Time. The 2/3 of our goverment’s reticence in checking the executive branch and Trump’s inability to control himself and Netanyahu is the undoing of America. Iran has no reason to trust Trump’s word because it isn’t worth the toilet paper it’s printed on.

This would be the second time Iran effectively chooses the U.S. President. The last time was when they refused to release the hostages until Carter was out of office (thanks to a secret deal they cut with Reagan's people)

3

u/yngwiegiles 22d ago

Iran does stuff like this, so take it seriously not just trolling. They waited for Carter to be out to release hostages on Reagan day 1 cause they liked him.

Hopefully someone asks Trump if he should step down immediately for the good of gas prices. But he kicked the real media out of the White House

We already know what would become of Iran if the United States really wanted to and any other nations that backed them, at the end of the day its still ran by terrorists and if the people of the US did that it would be a sign of weakness.

u/Waste-Menu-1910 22d ago

Do you believe Iran?

Realistically, Trump is gone in 2028 no matter what.

The problem I see with this logic is that his removal doesn't immediately end the hostilities.

In other words, I think Iran sees Trump's removal as either the man's to an end (but not the end itself) or a partial but incomplete victory.

This is in no way sticking up for Trump or the stupid war he started after explicitly promising not to. It's just saying that putting that toothpaste back in the tube isn't as easy as just getting rid of him.
