  • Iran war

    From Joseph Pereira@1:103/705 to All on Tue Mar 10 08:25:19 2026

    The US has already attacked more than 5,000 targets in Iran. Yet, the war is far from over, no matter what Trump says.

    The US claims it has closed the Strait of Hormuz itself, but ships are afraid to pass through because of the Iranian threat AND the fact that shipowners are uninsured.

    Trump signaled yesterday that he wants to end the war with Iran in two weeks, no matter what. Why, then, would Iran agree to any settlement whatsoever? Iran has won this war, despite the enormous blows it suffered. The fact that they were not defeated on the issues of regime change, uranium enrichment, and the Strait of Hormuz is the victory.

    The relationship between the US and Israel has come under great pressure. Trump called Netanyahu an idiot, and that is not exactly a term of endearment for the boss of the US. (You read that right)

    The war between the US and Iran is becoming 'hot' again. Fighting is once again taking place involving drone and missile attacks back and forth. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

    On his eightieth birthday, Trump was generous towards Iran. Apparently, they are allowed to keep their uranium, provided the Strait of Hormuz opens. The US has lost, Israel is not giving up, and this treaty might just hold for a few days. The oil price for WTI has dropped to 80.87 dollars per barrel. Brent is trading at 83.72 dollars per barrel this morning. Traders are all too eager to believe that the problems are over now. A treaty... Yeah, right!

    The Strait of Hormuz has been closed again by Iran. This is in response to the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and the fact that Israel does not want to withdraw from Lebanon. The strait is officially closed, but anyone willing to take a risk can sail through... until something goes wrong, and that is a costly mistake.

    Israel is the disruptive factor preventing the talks in Switzerland from succeeding regardless. Trump's statement at the start of the talks that Iran should keep a low profile, otherwise he will bomb them back to the Stone Age, did not help the initial talks in Switzerland either. Nevertheless, both parties want an end to the war. They both yearn for peace, but both sides are very clumsy at resolving it diplomatically.

    Despite the talks between the US and Iran in Switzerland not running smoothly, oil prices can now be found below 80 dollars per barrel. Furthermore, several oil tankers from the Persian Gulf have escaped by sailing through the Strait of Hormuz in the dark and having their transponders turned off.
