Good Morning Post From Florida Criminal: Blockade the Strait!

Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.

...

I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.

...

We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!

...

Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini*, and most of their “Leaders,” are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition. The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade.
 

*Ayatollah Khomeini has been dead (of natural causes) since 1989. The Florida Criminal means Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who he assassinated on Feb. 28. Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the murdered father, is the current Supreme Leader of Iran.

....

Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully “LOCKED AND LOADED,” and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP

12:58 am:

In the many bizarre exchanges that occurred in the run-up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran...was an invitation by Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff for the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, to join him and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for a visit to the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group.

LOLLLLL

One Gulf diplomat, who has direct knowledge of the talks and is furious with Witkoff and Kushner’s behaviour, described the pair as “Israeli assets that had conspired to force the US president into entering a war from which he is now desperate to get himself out of”.

I think they do have dual loyalties. They may have conspired with Netanyahu, but I don't buy the charge that anybody, including those two, "forced" the Florida Criminal into anything.

...

Quite why these indirect talks [off and on from last summer before Operation Midnight Marshmallow, and this year preceding Operation Epstein Fury]  failed...is relevant to whether a nuclear deal only is feasible or whether a broader agreement will be necessary now.

...

This matters because after the war, if Iran’s government survives, calls inside inside the country to obtain a nuclear weapon will inevitably grow. Last week’s purported statement from the new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, made no reference to whether the fatwa banning the use of nuclear weapons set out by his late father remained in place. Protesters outside the foreign ministry in Tehran have demanded no return to talks with America.

Those involved in the negotiations say misunderstandings about how Iran’s complex nuclear programme worked – including, for instance, the purpose and uranium needs of the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR), the scope of Iran’s planned future nuclear programme, and the offer for US firms to be involved in Iran’s economy – all contributed to the march to war.

...

The Iranians now say they believe the talks were always a subterfuge, designed to create space for the US to assemble its military armada....

...

One Gulf diplomat said: “Greater time and expertise would not have guaranteed an agreement, but it would have helped. What I will say is that in all the explanations of what went on, it is the Iranians that have normally been telling the truth.”

...

Better than JCPOA

...Kushner admitted a deal could have been presented that was better than the Obama nuclear deal secured in 2015.

...

...British officials briefed on its contents thought it was a good deal, and something to be built on, partly because, unlike the 2015 nuclear deal, there were no sunset clauses.

...

Once the Geneva talks ended, [Feb. 2026]with both sides only signing up to a statement about progress made, it was obvious to the Omani foreign minister that war was imminent, and he dashed to Washington to explain how close he felt the the two sides were to a breakthrough. But his proposal of zero stockpiling did not have the same force as zero enrichment.

The dash across the Atlantic reflected Oman’s belief that Witkoff and Kushner, either knowingly or through ignorance, were not feeding Trump the truth about the progress in the talks. There was also doubt about Trump’s focus. One previous attempt to engage Trump on the status of the talks deteriorated when the president switched the conversation to one of his favourite topics: shoes. In retrospect it might have been better to send a more senior emissary to try to hold Trump’s attention. A day later the war started.
