The Americans, the Iranians, the Martians?

Mr Trump changes his mind 1000 times and hour: he claims Iran 'begged' for a ceasefire, they say 'no we didn't', Oman is getting involved and the prices of everything - not least petrol - is going ever upwards.

Listening to LBC, at the weekend, the comment was made that the President is getting desperate to save face, starting a war he's lost control of and his Secretary of War's position is looking shaky.

Because the President is, of course, blameless.

Yes, the Straits of Hormuz are Iran’s territorial waters so they dictate what happens. And as Happilyretired123 has stated the Iranian regime use this as their ultimate weapon in the war Trump started.
