IRAN, — Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Iranian state media reported.
The closure comes less than 24 hours after Iran reportedly agreed to a ceasefire deal with the United States, effectively opening the strait and allowing the flow of oil worldwide. The U.S. and Iran both claimed victory after the two countries and Israel agreed to a two-week ceasefire that halted more than a month of war.

3. I knew Israel would violate the ceasefire. They started the conflict. They've been attacking Lebanon for over 70 years.

There has been recent reporting however that the strait remains open even though some strikes have continued. Which is it? Are they giving time for the ceasefire to settle in?

5. Israel is the major source if Middle East violence and terrorism. Bibi needs to be reigned in.

Unfortunately, Israelis seem unwilling to do anything about him but occasionally protest. Do they truly support his genocide and his illegal takeover of lands from other countries?

7. Oh boy... Trump might go critical. This may lid him a little.

This past weekend, the deranged juvenile delinquent currently soiling the Oval Office, Capitol Hill, America’s Constitution and the country itself proved beyond any doubt that he could very soon escalate to NUCLEAR threats– if Iran continues to fight back against his unapproved personal war. Trump must GO. Before impeachment, though, it might be more effective for Democrats to (1) Ask VP Vance and Trump’s Cabinet members to sign a “Formal Intention of 25th-Amendment Removal,” (2) Launch that process if enough people comply, or (3) If too many decline, proceed to impeach-- in a single class action--   “Trump, Vance, and all Cabinet members who refuse to remove Trump despite his proven, overwhelming unfitness to remain in office. To remove those who refuse to do their Constitutionally mandated jobs.”   This would be (adapting Trump's favorite hyperbole)  a shot "unlike anything the world has ever seen” across his corrupt Administration’s bow.   It would, at the very least, strongly remind Capitol Hill that Justice is on the way. Regardless of how many patriotic Americans Trump's criminal Administration jails or how many future elections they try to steal, Justice is coming.
