Iran swiftly reversed reopening the Strait of Hormuz,

US President Doanld Trump is expected to wake up in fury after Iran swiftly reversed reopening the Strait of Hormuz, reimposing restrictions on the critical waterway on Saturday (April 18) after the U.S. said the move would not end its blockade.

The country's joint military command said on Saturday that it "control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces." It warned that it would continue to block transit through the strait as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect.

The announcement came the morning after U.S. President Donald Trump said the American blockade "will remain in full force" until Tehran reaches a deal with the U.S., including on its nuclear program.

And what so called good will that do to world piece and finacial stability?

I beginning to think Liz Truss, outlasted by a lettuce, is actually brighter than the present incumbent in the White House.

I understand he's a die- hard narcissist, desperate to receive acclaim for any public achievement by anyone anywhere, but to loudly proclaim the Strait is open, Iran will hand over the uranium remaining, is just stupid when events contradict him.

Doesn't the egg on his face feel uncomfortable after a few hours?

I'm sure he's making a fortune along with his cohorts trading the markets off of his false proclamations.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) will blockade the strait of Hormuz again as of today, the IRGC warned in a statement published by semi-official news agency Tasnim News.

“Approaching the strait of Hormuz will be considered cooperation with the enemy, and any offending vessel will be targeted,” the IRGC statement read. The statement cited the US blockade as a ceasefire violation.

Iran is not yet ready to hold a new round of face-to-face talks with US officials, a senior Iranian official said Saturday, citing Washington’s refusal to abandon “maximalist” demands on key issues.

In an interview with the Associated Press on the margins of a diplomacy forum in Turkey, Iranian deputy foreign minister Saeed Khatibzadeh also said his country will not hand over its enriched uranium to the US, rejecting claims made by Donald Trump.
