serious people would not fall for that, and neither will the Iranian people or other anti-western factions.

Vintage doublespeak from our Vietnam "excursion".

Trump has to close the "Straight" so the Iranians don't close the "Straight".

Just like he had to start this war so that Iran would not start this war.

It's all quite simple and logical...if you speak Orwellian.

He's going to start charging a toll to pass through, and he's just pissed that that Iranians thought of the idea first.
