The world is having meetings.. Diaper Demented Grandpa is not invited.
Everyday is an embarrasment for me in the USA. MAGA has done **** everything up. @MR-7 , emigration to live with people who aren't nut jobs gets more appealing all the time. We are the laughing stock of the planet. From a Superpower to a joke, with accelerated degradation under Trump's second term
Alabama joins the list of higher electric bills. A federal subsidy was ended there. One eldery woman got an 850$ bill.
Hungary leads the path to ending corrupt authorarianism. Zelensky is making friends and enjoying enormous success with innovative inexpensive weaponry. America is worried about where transgenders take a crap.

iran wanted to get sanctions lifted by negotiations
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In November 2018, the United States officially reinstated all sanctions against Iran that had been lifted before the United States withdrew from the JCPOA. In April 2019, the United States threatened to sanction countries continuing to buy oil from Iran after an initial six-month waiver announced in November expired

-----------------------------------------------------------------But Pakistan’s courtship of President Donald Trump since he took office a little over a year ago has also played an important role. It’s been a wide-ranging campaign, and one that has shown a canny understanding of Trump’s ego.“Pakistan wouldn’t be convening these talks if it didn’t have that strong relationship with Washington and that personal trust between its leaders and President Trump,” said Elizabeth Threlkeld, a former foreign service officer in Islamabad, now director of the South Asia Program at the Stimson Center, a Washington-based think tank.RebelGator » 15 Apr 2026, 5:44 pm » wrote: ↑ You believe Islamic sources?

how effective is the US naval blockade on the Persian Gulf?
As of April 16, 2026, the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports is considered fully implemented and highly effective in paralyzing Iran's official seaborne trade. However, its overall impact is complicated by Iran's continued use of "ghost fleets" and its own counter-blockade measures in the Strait of Hormuz.

Current Effectiveness & Enforcement
Operational Control: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reports that the blockade was fully established within 36 hours of the presidential order. At least 27 Navy vessels, including three aircraft carrier strike groups, are currently in the region to enforce the screen.
Commercial Impact: The blockade has effectively halted 90% of Iran's maritime trade, including the vast majority of its oil exports. This is estimated to be costing the Iranian regime over $400 million in daily revenue.
Deterrence: In its first full day, the blockade turned back at least six merchant vessels, while marine tracking data shows that Iran-linked ships have largely stopped or slowed their movements near the Strait of Hormuz.
Limitations and Challenges
The "Ghost Fleet": Despite the blockade, Iran continues to export oil through a network of sanctioned tankers. China continues to purchase approximately 90% of Iran's oil exports, often using these "ghost" vessels that operate with relative impunity in Southeast Asian lanes.
Strait of Hormuz Standoff: While the U.S. blockades Iranian ports, Iran has responded by restricting general traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Over 230 loaded oil tankers are currently stranded inside the Persian Gulf due to Iranian conditions on transit.
Selective Permissiveness: The U.S. Navy clarifies that it is not impeding commercial traffic destined for non-Iranian ports, such as those in the UAE or Kuwait, though overall traffic has plummeted by 95% since the conflict began.

Regional Economic Risks
The standoff has triggered a global energy crisis, with oil prices surging as the blockade limits access to critical materials and feedstocks. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned of a possible global recession if high energy prices persist due to the prolonged maritime disruption
