Hopefully this helps drive a big wedge between Israel and the US. Lets stop giving them any weapons and aid. Tired of my tax dollars supporting a rich country dead set on genocide. Israel can handle their own affairs.
USA and UK created Israel for a reason, and they're fine with Israel's actions.
Israel is doing what it was created to do.
Correct. It's not just Trump, it's an entire generations-long policy norm to suppress peace and sovereignty across the middle east that passively scapegoats and endangers jews all over the world as consequence, perhaps intentionally. Pretty sure that Israeli money still funds the majority of both Republican and Democrat campaigns in congress. We need a whole-house cleaning, Israeli lobby funds from any sources need to be popularly seen by voters as a hard disqualification. Jewish voices that oppose genocidal Israeli domination narratives need to be amplified and normalized.
All of the red you see is a politician who takes money from AIPAC
Every one of them should have to register as a foreign agent and be barred from holding office
Israel has Epstein's blackmail against Trump.
The only way the US withdrawals support from Israel is after Trump either leaves office or croaks. He doesn't care if the entire country runs out of oil in >4 weeks. He'll destroy the country forever, all because he's a child rapist.
Does the blackmail even matter anymore? Bibi could drop 4K footage of him doing the same shit documented in the files and I'm convinced he's not leaving office until he dies or is forced out.
That might be what Iran is thinking with this. Israel's continued existance is incompatible with peace, so splitting them off from their sugar daddy will help
Watching the US get its economy shredded by a pedophile would be a lot more entertaining if I wasn’t a participant in that economy.
bUt ThE DoW iS oVeR 50000!!!
Yeah. I also made $438 Quabrillion in Monopoly. What's the difference?
This is exactly how I felt after Brexit.
"Hahahaha...oh...oh no...."
Trump claims Iran deal is ‘unconditional surrender,’ says his power has ‘no limits’
did not help either
This moron can’t stop running his mouth. A person like this can’t handle diplomacy - his fragile egomania will always get in the way.
THE ART OF THE DEAL!
(written by a ghostwriter)
Unconditional surrender, for the US, I suppose?
Let's be real though. Iran expects Trump and Netanyahu to keep sabotaging this deal one way or another and is fine with them manufacturing consent to close the Strait and bomb more US/Israeli assets.
id say this is 3d chess but its more like being a nation-state 101. Iran expertly played israel and america off eachother to get exactly what they wanted and give neither america or israel anything, all while driving a wedge between these two assholes.
it would be impressive if they pulled this off against highly-capable nations with well developed diplomatic corps. As it stands it kind of feels mean to big up Iran for dunking on what are effectively two asshole toddlers screaming about their toys
On the bright side, green energy is looking better and better each day the straight remains closed.
It's amazing that people don't recognize the actual freedom that generating your own power gives your country
Yeah, Trump may unintentionally start the end for the fossil industry. Which is kinda ironic.
Iran did the most hilarious thing possible! They're going to bend Trump over backwards for the rest of his life.
Which won't be long, hopefully.
Come on, Death, do your fucking job!!
(Though an excruciatingly painful and debilitating illness is much preferred. I'd wish a long life to the Donvict if that happens)
Israel is the Main Culprit keeping the ECONOMICALLY NECESSARY Straight of Hormuz closed? And because of that the US Economy is going to be DEVESTATED? Quick! We MUST give the Israelis MORE US Taxdollars and MORE US Military Intelligence!
-The US Congress LITERALLY!
Nypost? Seriously? There are dozens... hundreds of more reputable source to choose from.
Thanks for the links.
It's more and more clear that the Wikipedia editors made the right choice in deciding that the US lost the war:
The US is less than 4 weeks away from losing all of its oil reserves.
If the Zionist pieces of shit thought support for Israel was obliterated before, its about to be 0% for anyone who isn't a billionaire
I can't fucking wait. The US will treat distance the same way Europe does when oil prices skyrocket. Then maybe we will see the end of urban sprawl.
Israel isn't gonna stop
I concur. Putin is a bad guy. Trump is a bad guy. Nethanyahu is a bad human (just for once I misuse the word human)
All of Lebanon is included in the map of Greater Israel. God’s Chosen Master Race aren’t going to stop until they’ve genocided every last Arab and Muslim and anyone else who tries to stop them. Unless someone actually makes Israel stop.
The only way to resolve this is to stop Israel.
Good for them. If the US and Israel cant keep their word then treat them like it.
While this seems plausible — likely even — it appears this is only being reported by the NY Post, a known neonazi propaganda rag. I would wait for more confirmation.
Powerful and resourceful gangsters have banded together to make war upon the whole human race
FDR, Dec 9, 1941
Give them hell Iran.
The title has since changed:
Iran Foreign Ministry says Strait of Hormuz is open after IRGC warned it was closed — sparking confusion
Watching this every day is like watching two narcissists with autism arguing.
Netanyahu literally cannot pull his troops back. Any peace time for Israel means autopsies on the conflict and the whole Israeli government getting charged for war crimes. Governments understand this and it's going to be Western governments stepping aside and withdrawing their money to allow Israel to get flattened by the regional powers. I don't like the Israeli government, and there certainly are a lot of supporters in the region (probably over 50%), but we're probably about to see a whole bunch of innocent Israel citizens being vaporized as well.
I find this all quite amusing.
While I can't root for any party involved in this, I have to say I'm really glad to see someone is holding America by the balls big time.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
