(4,051 posts)23. From NBC:
A spokesperson for Iran's foreign ministry told Iranian news outlet ISNA that a U.S. proposal was currently under review, and said that Iran planned to convey its assessment of it to mediator Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Iran's navy said in a post on X Wednesday morning that “with aggressor’s threats neutralized & new protocols in place, safe, stable passage through SOH will be ensured.”
President Donald Trump, in his own post minutes later, said the war would end and the strait would reopen "assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is perhaps a big assumption." He warned Tehran to agree to his terms or "the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before."
Markets had reacted swiftly to the initial report, sending the price of U.S. crude oil plunging by as much as 15% to $88 per barrel and international Brent crude oil down as much as 11% to $96 per barrel.

And that's the point. This fight has not even begun. It will get ten times worse, daily.

I agree..they want to overwhelm us. At times it sure feels that way but we gotta get up and fight again
