Iran faces massive new triple-threat as Hormuz begins to open, cash gets tight and pols call to end the warhttps://nypost.com/2026/08/23/world-news/iran-faces-triple-threat-as-control-over-hormuz-economy-wavers/Iran’s supreme leader is under mounting pressure over the war — as the regime’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz weakens, cash finally starts to get tight and top political leaders publicly urge the Islamists in charge to find a way out of the conflict.The latest phase of the conflict has seen more and more ships quietly slipping through Hormuz, with nearly 200 vessels sailing through the strait last week, according to data from the UK Maritime Trade Operations Center.The flow represents a 400% spike in the last two weeks, with maritime analysts Kpler noting that the traffic finding safe passage — aided by US Navy escorts — effectively means Iran has lost partial control of the strait.There’s no economic relief in sight for the regime as the US continues to slap sanctions on the Islamic republic as part of its maximum pressure campaign, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent threatening more penalties to come.Finally, latest week, the United Arab Emirates suspended all trade with Iran over renewed missile fire — taking away a key export hub that had helped soften the shocks of US sanctions.

>NYPost A reminder this is a fake news, and not creditable news site that shouldn't be allowed on /news/ because they were caught smearing Mamdani over 9/11 and instead of retracting the story and apologizing for their false reporting, they are now doubling down. https://hiphopwired.com/3061256/ny-post-dragged-for-alleged-mamdani-9-11-story/ And the corporate media is running a cover up for them as well too. https://popular.info/p/update-after-the-mamdani-911-smear
>>1531735Reminder: so-called credible news outlets reported explicit lies about Ruusiagate to influence elections.Also, Mamdani is a fucking faggot and no one cares if he was smeared.
>>1531730>illegible slop>nypost>esl misspellings>slang nobody uses>right-wing propaganda>blatant lies>doesn't even post the whole articleGot a real winner here.
Reminder, >>1531738 is correct about 1531736 the esl shill faggot>Ruusiagate>inb4"grammar nazi", "context" etcIn Soviet /news/, lolcow is you, projecting esl shill.
>>1531735>>1531738>>1531739Wow. They (You) really are pissed
>1531742 is pissedAside from 1531736 being a fucking stupid post, nobody cares.
>>1531745You're mad.
1531746god you're esl
>>1531742>act like a retard>get called a retard>"y-you're mad!"A classic.
Trump has done the impossible again. He has managed to start a war with the most-hated country on earth, and turned them into the good guys.
>>1531730>with nearly 200 vessels sailing through the strait last week, according to data from the UK Maritime Trade Operations Center.Funny because actual satellite trackers say maybe a ship a day in the last week.Considering the US keeps getting caught fucking lying about how many ships get in and out of the strait, I'm willing to assume this data isn't accurate even accounting for ships going dark and turning off tracking.
>>1531730>The flow represents a 400% spike in the last two weeksEasy number to claim when in the last two weeks the flow ranged from like 7 per day at highest to some days having fucking 0.
>>1531730>guys this time we will totally beat Iran Operation Saturday morning cartoon villainy is a go
>>1531758>Arabs>Good guys>Even onceNot how it works. They're brown, Anon, they're automatically evil by virtue of existing and the people who exterminate them are automatically good by virtue of driving out evil.
esl shill is larping as a white person again
Fantastic job President Trump. NyPost really has been the only news organization telling the truth about this conflict. Everyone else just peddles enemy propaganda.
Fantastic job, orange Nero /s. All other non-migger news organizations stating facts about this conflict. NY Post and miggers are enemies that just peddle their retarded propaganda.
>>1531818around 14 percent of previous traffic is certainly better than nothing, but there's no doubting the massive fuckup startinig this iran thing was.putting trump back in office was never going to be a good idea, I guess folks just didn't think it would be this bad tho. what a giant fuckup all around.
>>1531855Who makes money when oil goes up, Anon?Which country produces the most oil, Anon?Nothing is that bad, really. For most, things are doing very well. Buy and hold American stocks, Anon. Buy and hold.
>>1531856there are plenty of folks taking advantage thats for sure
>>1531730What is this slop even supposed to be?
>>1531862It's unedited AI slop, numbnuts.
>>1531876No shit. What is it supposed to be?
>>1531736There weren't any lies. Trump is a Russian asset and you have to be a moron not to see it.
>>1531882It's a Democrat looking at a monster, not wondering how to destroy it, but wondering how to extort money from it.The text is supposed to say, "I don't know what the fuck that is, but I bet I can tax it."However, AI text is usually a bit shitty. At least until we get more datacenters.
esl shill is too inept to let AI do his work for him, lol
>>1531735>mamdani friend of hasan pyker terrorist sympathizer and 9/11 enjoyerI like Mamdani but considering he's friends with Hasan that's like the modern day of being friends with epstein so who cares.
>>1531887ahh yes democrats hallucinating again go chop off your cock
>>1531899>>1531900keep it to one post next time esl shill
>>1531899>I like MamdaniWhy in the?
>>1531903and stop talking to yourself
>>1531905get a room
>>1531903the people who hate him tend to be traditional main party democrats so, I like watching infighting, its fun seeing him make them squirm in agony.He's also a force of nature in the same way trump is where their policies are so borderline radical and overreaching even if you know they won't be able to apply it it's fun to see the process.
>>1531930mamdani is such a radical, remember when stalin planted trees in 1937. so many parallels
>>1531930Trump's policies aren't even close to radical.But I get your point.Besides, DSA is a better class of criminal than the old guard Dems with their forever platforms.
>>1531933didn't i tell you to stop talking to yourself
>>1531932he's picking a war with basically all landowners and grocery stores living in nyc.remember wallgreens leaving chicago, i'm excited for a replication of that in nyc.>>1531933compared to democrats who basically do nothing going from 1-3 on a scale of 5 i'd consider radical compared to staying at 1 and literally opening the borders.ya that's what i bought him up being friends with hasan whose the main representation of the DSA party whether they want it or not given his reach.
>>1531932DSA is pretty radical. Member when El-Sayed cosplayed Blue's Clues and it was do cringe it literally destroyed Democrats turning them into a cringe boomer commie party?That was great.
>>1531935>compared to democrats who basically do nothingUhhh, Democrats actually do quite a bit. They'll band together and shove shit through whether it's a good idea or not (ACA).Republicans are usually the helpless do-nothing "let's not make waves" party. They were castrated like a troon for a decade before Trump came along.
>>1531933>Trump's policies aren't even close to radical.immigration no but the trade war definitely would be.I'd argue plundering venuzuela for oil would also count but that's like bordering on a cartoon skit at this point.
>>1531937that's why people voted him in not cause he's charismatic nor his policies because democrats are vile plague shitters and the existing republican party was basically in cahoots.
>>1531933he brought the ceo of pfizer in front of the whitehouse press and effectively held him at gun point making him say he would move manufacturing back to the US otherwise he would tariff his company's products lol.Whether pfizer actually did anything who knows but its funny to see
>>1531938>but the trade war definitely would be.Historically, not so much. We only really stopped doing broad tariff's in the late 40's early 50's and we've never stopped doing targeted tariffs. >I'd argue plundering venuzuela for oil would also count but that's like bordering on a cartoon skit at this point.Again, historically not so much. The Monroe Doctrine only really ended in the 1930's and it was low-key revived during the Cold War. If you look at American history in totality, he's actually a reversion to the pre-war (WW2 being the war) norm. >>1531940One of the most based things he has done. That and making Uncle Sam a cool $28 billion off Nvidia stock.
>>1531941god you're esl
>>1531932Yes anon, being a democratic socialist is actually radical.
>>1531943not in the majority of the western world
>>1531944We're not the majority of the western world. This is America.If you want to see what racial collectivism does to a country, move to South Africa.
>>1531945>weLOL
>>1531932>mamdani is such a radicalhis policies are objectively radical by modern American standards.
>>1531947and modern american standards have been warped by 50 years of corporate siege tactics
>>1531948Its American standards full stop, and no me not wanting to pay for your lifestyle is not "corporate siege tactics".
>>1531949you're not american, you do have a lot of elite dick in your mouth though
>>1531950I am American and me not wanting to pay for your lifestyle is not sucking corporate dick, its just me not wanting to subsidize losers.
>>1531951you're a shill. i pay you a pittance every time i respond and you're complaining about my welfare?
>>1531952You don't have an argument.
>>1531953of course i don't argue with people so far below me
>>1531954You don't have an argument and you're upset.>you're beneath me Winners don't advocate for socialism.
>>1531952Well, at least we now know why you're afraid of fascists.
>>1531952>you're a shill. i pay you a pittanceYou pay shills to talk to you? Whole new level of lonely unlocked.
anyways, strait's still closed
>>1531958>anyways, strait's still closedoh no oh no oh no >Iran has lost significant control of the Strait of Hormuz>At the moment, however, the evidence is clear: The United States, patrolling the strait with its navy, is gaining ground – and Iran is losing much of its control of the critical waterway.https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/18/business/iran-strait-of-hormuz-oil
>>1531941bring back stuff from 60-70 years ago and saying that isn't radical is a big reach, that's like bring back prohibition
>>1531957It's obvious the locow of /news is lomely?>>1531958Stait's open. You're gay.
>>1531962>prohibitionSloppery slip. Besides alcohol makes (You) age terribly.
>>1531965>alcohol makes you age terribly. I criticize dems for creating a nanny state. I also somehow believe the right wing fascist faggots I fellate should be able to establish a nanny state banning whatever they want. These ideas are not inconsistent, because all ideas MIGA faggots hold are self-defeating strawmen, we're incomprehensible retards that believe whatever daddy puts in front of us. We love being used as the condom to buttfuck the rest of America, and always wanted to be a lucky Pierre.>I think the most based thing trump did was illegally enrich himself by billions of dollars, expressly breaking the law and dicking over literally everyone who uses the stock market with his insider trading.>I don't understand how easy this is with the powers of the president, so it's something I admire. I'd say this would be like praising him for not shitting his pants, bit that's a struggle for him these days. I'm a literally a psychopath, I physically cannot feel empathy, and should be put down like a rabid dog. Fuck me daddy, fuck me harder!
>>1531968All that over my opinion on alcohol? I simply called you out on you pants shitting retard ass on likening everything from 60 years ago to prohibition.And what happens? You utterly soil your undies.
>>1531968you can't shame esl shill, they have a humiliation fetishthis post is the equivalent of masturbating them in public
>>1531965you bought up acts passed in the same time frame anon
>>1531941>its not radical to bring back stuff from 70 years ago>but not that>>1531968>schizo rantingkys you retarded leftist retardya great we got dipshit 1 and dipshit 2. trump's a radical and ur a fucking retard for pretending otherwise if his measures are bring up stuff from 60-70 years ago.Its obvious its that ritual poster who can't argue you fucking moron.
>>1531973I did not. That was another anon, commie.
>>1531968Wow. The /news drunk just exploded. Maybe lay off the MD 20/20 just a bit.
>>1531896Taxes aren't extortion. And that makes him like like a chad, you idiot. He's standing in front of a monster and isn't intimidated by it at all.
>>1531995lol. It's an allegory for taxes being the only solution Democrats are allowed to think.>Tax the rich!!!>No, no don't regulate them, TAX!!!And as we all know in 2026, taxing the rich just passes their tax burden to consumers and causes inflation.It's absolutely not based to think of ways to get money from things you want to destroy. In fact it's likely the epitomy of gay, on par two faggots getting married and adopting a boy to rape.
>>1531999>It's an allegory for taxes being the only solution Democrats are allowed to think.Good fucking god the right can't meme. Even when you have your shitty AI do it for you you can't meme. >No, no don't regulate themNobody says this. >In fact it's likely the epitomy of gay, on par two faggots getting married and adopting a boy to rape.>gay rape>apropos of nothing>again
>>1532000It's not a meme. It's satire.>Nobody says thisYou're not even allowed to think it,
>>1532001>It's not a meme. It's satire.You can be semantic if you want, you can't do either.>You're not even allowed to think it,We don't think that the rich shouldn't be regulated? Yes, that's correct.
>>1532003>We don't think that the rich shouldn't be regulated? Yes, that's correct.You think they should be regulated in such a way as to ensure their market share.And in such a way that they get trillions from the government.But regulating them to the point of not existing? Not so much. If you disagree you must have Democrat-level IQ (probably in the high 40's).
>>1532007Buddy, I'm not humoring your stupid-ass strawman.
1532001Talk about not understanding satire, my little trashcan1531999>In fact it's likely the epitomy of gay, on par two faggots getting married and adopting a boy to rape>epitomy>inb4 "grammar nazi", "context" etcIn fact it's the epitome of being esl. And you're the epitome of a sexually obsessed pervert if that's what you need to think about, projecting esl shill.
>>1532009Fine don't learn anything today, Keep being fooled.(Hint: ACA)
>>1532025Project harder, slopfag.
>>1532029Just because you're a low IQ idiot suffering from multiple mental illnesses and/or personality disorders who is easily fooled doesn't mean I'm projection.Surely you realize this?
>>1532030Wow, I didn't think you'd actually do it.
>>1532032>I'm not an idiot>You are projectingOK, bitch.
>>1532035Now you're getting it!
>>1532036esl shill knows the truth, they're just deep in the closet and needs to avoid reality
