NEW: Iran is attempting to stop Western and Gulf efforts that could weaken Iran’s ability to use the Strait of Hormuz as a source of leverage in current and future disputes. Gulf states and the United States are attempting to undermine Iran’s ability to use the strait as leverage by entering and exiting the strait along the Omani coast and by proposing alternative, non-Iranian-controlled transit mechanisms.

Other Key Takeaways:
Several Iranian media outlets reported on July 7 that the UAE proposed a plan to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to manage the strait, which Iran rejected and eight other unspecified UAE “allies” supported, because it lacked “legal basis” and “exceeds the IMO Council’s technical mandate and authority.”

Iran is also taking military steps to stop Western and Gulf efforts to weaken Iran’s ability to control traffic in the strait. Iran launched two missile attacks on tankers in the strait on July 6 because both vessels failed to use Iranian-approved transit mechanisms. Iran also launched another drone at an unspecified tanker on July 7.

Iran’s military and diplomatic efforts come as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member Foreign Ministers are set to discuss how to handle the strait issue with Bahraini, Kuwaiti, Qatari, and Emirati foreign ministers on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara.

Hezbollah is preparing to use Iranian funds to resume financial payments to displaced Lebanese families in Hezbollah’s political strongholds as part of an effort to rebuild support among the Lebanese public.

I’m not exactly sure how this happened, but it seems that, because of the MOU, the Islamic regime believed it had complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the U.S. was escorting commercial ships through the Strait via the Omani route. Iran appears to have felt the U.S. was playing them by “giving them control” while continuing to move ships without their approval. They got angry.

Then came Khamenei’s funeral, where the regime once again reminded everyone that the U.S. had just eliminated their “holy” leader. Not long after, they started firing at commercial ships.

It didn’t seem to matter whose ship it was. Saudi, UAE, Qatari. Even if it had been Pakistani, I think they would have fired. They hit at least 3 ships, high chances that number is higher, but the more interesting question is, how many did they miss? How many drones were intercepted?

The U.S. in now furious that Iran fired on commercial shipping. It revoked the sanctions waivers, and I honestly don’t believe this is over. There is a serious dilemma unfolding, and the U.S. is starting to realize that Iran may not be the “new rational regime” it hoped it would be.

Traffic in Strait of Hormuz ‘grinds to a near halt’
Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a near-halt following a second consecutive day of US strikes against Iran, according to Bloomberg News.

Citing ship tracking data, it said that among larger vessels, only a US-sanctioned supertanker was seen heading out of the Gulf alongside an Iranian-flagged container ship.

Some 14 cargo ships crossed the strait in both directions yesterday, it added, noting that the figure is the lowest since the US-Iran MoU on June 16.

An average of 34 ships transited the strait in the three weeks since the two nations agreed to the interim deal, it noted.

aL JAZ.

US strikes over 90 Iranian targets smile.gif

The US military says it hit over 90 Iranian targets during a second straight night of strikes, with the attacks aimed at “further degrading Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping and innocent civilian mariners in the Strait of Hormuz.”

A statement from US Central Command says the latest strikes targeted “air defense systems, coastal surveillance assets, missile and drone storage sites, naval capabilities, and military logistics infrastructure along Iran’s coastline,” while noting the 80 targets struck the previous day.

“US forces remain vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the commander in chief,” CENTCOM says.

Look at the oil prices. There is your answer.

The MOU, although it looks like Iran squeezing some orange balls (which it is), actually reduces pressure greatly on the US.

Every time the IRGC attacks, they reveal the locations of their drone and missile launchers, and their small boats.

The MOU was a very good deal for the IRGC, all they had to do was promise not to develop nuclear weapons.

Sohai sand people.

Well, Marco Rubio is a foreign policy hawk, which is a good thing in my opinion.

Today, July 9th — is the final day of the six-day funeral.

Ali Khamenei is being buried at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, one of Shiite Islam's holiest sites, his hometown where he was born 86 years ago.
He will be buried alongside his 14-month-old granddaughter, his daughter, his son-in-law, and Mojtaba Khamenei's wife, all killed in the same February 28th strike that started this war.
And as the burial takes place today, U.S. jets are striking Iran for the third consecutive day.


MOJTABA KHAMENEI NEVER APPEARED. AT HIS OWN FATHER'S FUNERAL.
The six-day funeral ended without Iran's new Supreme Leader making a single public appearance.
CBC News confirmed he has "communicated only in statements" since being appointed in March, reportedly seriously injured in the same February 28th strike that killed his father.
He led no prayers. He appeared at no ceremonies. He gave no public address to the nation mourning in the streets.

The war is inevitable. Trump always cheats on his statements and is never willing to walk away unless he personally benefits from it. His Taco is always a game. It will be foolish to trust a single word coming from Trump.
