This is spreading all over Bluesky today and is wildly misleading--it is from eight months ago and it is in reference to working with NATO allies and arming Ukraine.
"missiles arent real," i assure myself as i close my eyes and pilot my ship into the strait of hormuz
My rough timeline:
If the Strait reopens in the coming week, we have weeks of energy market disruption ahead but things have settled by the Autumn.
If the Strait is closed for another 3/4 weeks we have months of disruption.
If the Strait is closed for longer things get very bad, very quickly.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could βbomb Tehran into the Stone Ageβ until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

The problem with this βsacrifice for our freedomβ language is that the Trump administration cannot articulate a single half-plausible reason it did this, didnβt bother to explain to the public it was starting a war in the first place, and has changed its explanation for why three times in a week.
Itβs not like mining will change the amount of traffic through Hormuz, which will go from zero to zero, but it immediately makes the fallout global and irreversible, by ensuring that traffic remains zero for the foreseeable future. Which is why itβs odd itβs getting only moderate press attention
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
hi iβm johnny knoxville and this is stand up paddle boarding the straight of hormuz
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Here's my Blooski statement that Sen. Kennedy calls hyperbolic. I will defend natural law until the day I die, Senator. People's rights come from their humanity, not their government. If ordered to act unethically, you should always refuse. Do Republicans now disagree?

Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs NEWS via @CBSNews : U.S. intelligence assets have begun to see indications Iran is taking steps to deploy mines in Strait of Hormuz shipping lane. Iran is using smaller crafts that can carry 2 to 3 mines each. While Iranβs mine stock isnβt publicly known, estimates over the years have ranged from roughly 2,000 to 6,000 naval mines of Iranian, Chinese and Russian-made variants, @JimLaPorta reports 2:13 PM Β· Mar 10, 2026 Β· 6,060 Views
