https://nypost.com/2026/08/18/us-news/trump-posts-map-labeling-strait-of-hormuz-new-us-territory-before-announcing-no-talks-with-iran-planned/President Trump doubled down Tuesday on his claim to the Strait of Hormuz on behalf of America, posting a revised map of the area on social media that labeled the waterway “new US territory.”Trump posted the image on his Truth Social site, before claiming in subsequent posts that the area had been cleared of Iranian mines and no further talks with the Islamic Republic were scheduled.The president initially revealed the possibility of a permanent US presence in the strait during a Friday event on Long Island.“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said while stumping for Republican candidates in New York’s gubernatorial and congressional elections.During the same event, the president insisted that ensuring Iran could never obtain a nuclear weapon was worth paying “a tiny little bit more for your gasoline,” adding: “I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing.”
>>1530702The initial cease-fire deal fell apart last month after Iran renewed its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz when ships used a US-approved route along Oman’s coast. Since then, the president has repeatedly suggested that he plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz US territory after the war with Iran, which is in its sixth month. Trump’s provocations have angered Iran, which slammed his claim to the Strait of Hormuz as “delusions.” “This strait will only be opened and closed under Iran’s command, and as long as you do not accept the reality of defeat and stop indulging in delusions, Iran will continue to enforce the blockade,” Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said in a statement. The latest uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz has kept traffic along the waterway below a dozen ships a day, with only six ships crossing on Monday. The Brent crude benchmark shot up to $91 a barrel on Tuesday after the US ruled out extending the cease-fire deal.
Why not? This is the way of victorious conquerers. If Iran wanted to keep that water they should've fought harder instead of getting their asses utterly kicked. If those arab oil states wanted to keep that water they should've done something besides let us do all the war fighting. The Strait of Trump is a pretty good, strong name, but Strait of America is another good one.
1530705 is the way of failure. Iran utterly kicked Trump's ass. Trump in Dire Straits is a perfect description. Look at that yoyo, that isn't the way to do it.
>>1530702lol Iran BTFO.In fact, we might as well start calling the seething little faggots Itrans.Cope. Seethe. Lose-ur-strait.

>>1530702OP image appears to feature a Jawa and a C3PO.
>>1530715You, of course mean, Itrainians? Like John Kerry.
>>1530702Why didn’t Iran think of this sooner? Not that it matters because now the US will have to surrender this to them too
>>1530719They can have the Jawa and the creepy C3PO with skin. Who cares?

>>1530725Mom, you've had enough Internet today. People are going to start thinking you're a crazy man in a dress.
1530714153071515307181530727You who call yourselves "men", when all you're doing is projecting, have had enough internet today. People don't need to think you're crazy "men" in dresses when you already are.
>>1530705>>1530714Hey so if we control the strait, why is it still closed?
>>1530748>why is it still closed?Why are cargo ships going through it if its closed?
>>1530749We have maybe 3 dark ships going through a day, and one of the ones that tried today got shot.Meanwhile, the open strait is supposed to average over 130+ a day.
If Trump paid Iran $300 billion to Iran, why is the strait still closed?
>>1530754Its an average of 13 per day. And oil prices have dropped back $83 pb. Wow
>>1530757>Its an average of 13 per day.According to whom? Right now, a grand total of ZERO ships have passed through the strait in the last 24 hours.
>>1530759>According to whomhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/business/strait-of-hormuz-ship-attack.htmlCope, Iranian shill. Cope.
>>1530755Didn't happen. Iran renigged,
>>1530762>>1530755>Trump paying Iran $300 millionShills out in full force tonight. Got like three threads up. His twitter post must have really rustled your jimmies.
>>1530761Wow nice chart. Goes to show that even when there was a ceasefire they still only had 50% of normal capacity and are currently sitting at 10% of traffic before that war.Oh, and again, 0 ships in the last 24 hours.
>>1530766>Oh, and again, 0 ships in the last 24 hours.Truly a great victory for the Iranian people. With this one foul stroke, Tehran has finally achieved what decades of sanctions, corruption and clerical mismanagement could not: turn the Strait of Hormuz into the world’s most expensive parking lot while strangling its own economy. Inshallah, another 48 hours of victories like this and Iran will have defeated international capitalism by successfully removing itself from it.Sun Tzu reportedly rising from the grave solely to ask what the fuck you people are doing.
Trump became Iran's bitch by giving them $300 billion.Reality really rustles your jimmies, miggers.
>>1530767Trying to win the midterm elections.
>>1530772>SAVE US MIDTERMS
>Sun Tzu reportedly rising from the grave solelyto point and laugh at Donald 'Bone Spurs' Trump.He would applaud Iran for making the 'Department of War' a complete laughingstock, just as Eisenhower destroyed McCarthy by ignoring that alcoholic, the same way Kegsbreath will become an irrelevance.Eisenhower knew what Tzu said: 'Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. As a Supreme Commander previously, he helped win WWII. Kegsbreath is already a failure, and as much a drunken laughingstock as Joseph 'Tailgunner Joe' McCarthy.Eisenhower was the last Republican president who was respected. Trump is pointed and laughed at by the world.
>>1530777What's the "bone spurs" thing about? I've heard this before but never really thought to ask, given that liggerals are fucking nuts.
>>1530792Trump dodged the vietnam draft by falsely claiming to have bone spurs.
>>1530794Aha. Was his number called up?
>>1530795I'm guessing not, and it's more liggeral lore to feed the crazies.
>>1530795>>1530796Nope, but he still did it and his own lawyer testified he confirmed that the medical record was on paper even though it didn't actually exist.>https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/02/27/trumps-lawyer-no-basis-for-presidents-medical-deferment-from-vietnam/
153079215307951530796>schizobabble lol
>>1530797So, I see his lawyer being Micheal Cohen, convicted perjurer.So, let's look into this a bit more.1) Cohen is 66 and was barely alive during the draft period.2) Cohen is a known perjurer3) his statement was made in 20194) he ceased being Trump's lawyer in 2018.5) he was suing Trump in 20196) Trump's number wasn't called up for service.Liggerals believe some wild made up shit, huh? It usually takes about 4 minutes to figure out the lie, out of context information or half truths.
The only question is, which US leader has been the greatest asset to Israel?Washington?Lincoln?FDR-Truman?JFK-LBJ?Nixon?Dubya?Trump?Truman created the modern state of Israel, and it's hard to top that.Dubya went to war with Iraq for Israel.Nixon brought us Kissinger.Those were the Big Three before Trump.
>>1530800sure was a big deal when Clinton was elected.>it's okay when WE do it
>>1530705>>1530714So since the strait is a US territory now that Trump tweeted it so, does that mean anyone born there is a US citizen?
>>1530808People born in the continental US aren't even US citizens unless their parents are white Republicans.
>>1530702I still don't understand how this retard has managed to live this long. Stupid people usually aren't long for the world, rich or not.
>>1530702>14 threads spamming the NYpost>A far right propaganda site that has failed multiple fact checks So much spamming by the shills
>>1530813NY Post is the official news source of /news.
>>1530802>Dubya went to war with Iraq for Israel.It was actually for Kuwait, but whatever. You won't catch me defending too much having to do with either of the Bush's.>>1530803I don't think it was. And he did the same thing as Trump. Additionally his number was never called up.Unless you're talking about the perjury, which was a big deal.
>>1530817Proof? Where is this written or a mod stated it?
>>1530848You did, when you validated ESL shills mental illness
>>1530848>Proof? Where is this written or a mod stated it?esl shill 1530817 1530849 has a mental illness which invalidates everything it says, thus is reduced to:>Trust me, bro
>>1530848>I need an authority figure to tell me.Disgusting.
>>1530702It would honestly be funny if the US wouldn't drag all of us down with them, on account of relying on them as a dependable since the end of WW2Being Chinese must be a blast right now
They should just be flying oil out of there.
