US Vice President JD Vance has accused Iran of terrorising the global economy by blocking maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Remember a day and a half ago when Trump announced the USA would block all maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, after Iran started letting ships through? JD Vance hopes you don't.

Every accusation is a confession

I'd only y'all had a nice stable leader without the outrageous nonsense, like Kim Jong Sun/Il/Un.
