so Trump failed to consult allies in the Persian Gulf before announcing Project Freedom-more new policy first introduced on Lies Social-which is part of the reason that Saudia Arabia was miffed.
now, after consulting with U.S. officials, both Saudia Arabia and Kuwait have dropped their objections.

Iran is shooting (without hitting) at U.S. destroyers-3 to be exact-transiting the Strait, so no question they will shoot at civilian vessels too that try to run the gantlet.
moving civilian ships through the Strait is obviously going to be dicey, so they will need the presence of heavily-armed "guards", like destroyers, A-10s, and F-16s providing defensive cover fire for the transit.
meanwhile, Iran has created an entire government agency to "manage" the Strait, including deciding on who may pass and toll collection.
basically, this is a clusterfuck that the Orange Clown has created for himself, but make no mistake, securing the Strait is by far the only objective now that matters to U.S. national security from this war. all of the other goals only matter to Israel, including nukes, long range ballistic missiles, funding of proxies, etc. etc.
so let's see what Trump decides to do. maybe we'll learn in an all-caps message on Lies Social around 3am..
