This is honestly brilliant. Get the US to promise something they are incapable of delivering in exchange for opening Hormuz, close Hormuz on the whole world when the US immediately fails to deliver.

Hormuz being closed is the US' fault. This is unassailable.

    They absolutely are capable of delivering it. Fuck Reagan delivered it. All it would require is to tell Israel to get the fuck out, and if they don't, they lose their free money and weapons.

    It's that simple. The only people trying to make it seem impossible is the Israelis.

    The source said the waterway would also ⁠remain closed until waivers allowing the ⁠sale of Iranian oil ⁠were issued.

    So that's what that last part meant.
