Only an idiot, who lacks even basic knowledge of... geography, can compare the Strait of Malacca to the Strait of Hormuz. Only an ignorant idiot can seriously believe that Indian Navy can "choke" the Strait of Malacca. China doesn't have to do much. Just find out how dependent is Adani on China in his core businesses. If India ever tried choking any shipping to China, it just needs to squeeze Adani's balls and everything would clear up magically. Also, before calling me a gaddar, because I have poked fun at your wet dreams, call EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar a gaddar too for refusing to pick a fight with China.show more

🚨Hormuz today, Malacca tomorrow? US choke point strategy targets... China 🗣️The US is shifting to a full "global maritime blockade strategy," Chinese policy adviser Gu Dingguo tells SCMP. 🔸After observing Iran's leverage over Hormuz, the US will next target the Strait of Malacca — through which 80% of China's oil and 90% of its sea trade flows. 🔸Recent US-Indonesia defense pacts, overflight rights talks, and deals with Malaysia are clear signals. 🔸Gu calls Hormuz, Malacca, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea high-risk zones for Beijing, as the US's real and unchanging priority remains containing China and Russia at sea. 🔸The Hormuz crisis is not just about Iran. It's a laboratory for how America plans to strangle China's economic lifelines.show more

🇲🇾🇨🇳 Hormuz gets all the attention, but the Strait... of Malacca is the one that keeps Beijing up at night. It's the world's busiest maritime chokepoint, narrowing to just 1.7 miles at its tightest point. In the first half of 2025 alone, 23.2 million barrels of oil per day passed through it. That's more than Hormuz. Around 75% of China's seaborne crude imports flow through it from the Middle East and Africa. The Iran war has forced governments across Asia to think seriously about what happens if Malacca faces the same fate as Hormuz. Indonesia's finance minister floated the idea of tolls this week before walking it back. Singapore has already assured both the U.S. and China that passage is guaranteed and it won't participate in any effort to block it. The difference between Hormuz and Malacca is that 4 countries share the strait and all of them have a strategic interest in keeping it open. That makes it harder to close, but also harder to control. China is watching what the U.S. did to Iran's economy through a single chokepoint. It has one of its own that it can't protect alone. Source: Reutersshow more

If Trump tells you the Strait of Hormuz is... open and you try to transit even with US Navy escorts, you’re an idiot. Won’t say you deserve it but this is a teachable moment for people to stop risking their lives to line the pockets of Trump, his disgusting family, and his Zionist mafia.show more

🚨🇮🇷🇮🇳 For the first time in seven years, an... Iranian supertanker has delivered 2 million barrels of crude to India — under a US sanctions waiver. At the same time, the US has announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. So on one hand, Washington is restricting Iran’s oil flows — and on the other, it’s allowing shipments to reach India. It may seem contradictory, but the logic is strategic. Keeping India within its orbit matters more than strict consistency. Losing India to a Russia–China energy alignment would be a much bigger problem than the optics of making exceptions.show more

"They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, 'Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.'

President Trump has long claimed that he personally intervened... to halt Operation Sindoor on May 10, 2025. He has done so on 65 different occasions in various forums in at least seven different countries. The Prime Minister has never broken his silence on these claims made by his so-called good friend. Now the Chinese Foreign Minister makes a similar claim and says China also mediated. On July 4, 2025, the Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen Rahul Singh had publicly stated that during Operation Sindoor, India was actually confronting and combating China. Given that China was decisively aligned with Pakistan, Chinese claims of having mediated between India and Pakistan are concerning - not just because they directly contradict what the people of our country have been led to believe, but because they seem to make a joke of our national security itself. This claim must also be understood in the context of our relationship with China. We have begun re-engagement with them - but unfortunately it has been on Chinese terms. The Prime Minister’s clean chit to China on June 19, 2020, has considerably weakened India’s negotiating position. Our trade deficit is at record highs and much of our exports are dependent on imports from China. Provocative actions by China in relation to Arunachal Pradesh continue unabated. Amidst such a lopsided - and hostile - relationship, the people of India need clarity on what role China played in the abrupt halt to Operation Sindoorshow more

A similar scenario is playing out today with China,... except the roles are reversed. In (at least) one of his interviews, Palmer Luckey explains that we can build incredible high tech weapons, but China can still wreck carriers and bases by throwing thousands of cheaper missiles at them, even lower quality ones, because the numbers just overwhelm you and burn through your defenses fast. The problem is that we don’t produce enough of our good tech, we build it way too slow, and it costs a fortune to replace, while they’re pumping missiles out of factories at a pace we gave up on years ago. So all that fancy stuff only works if you can actually keep replacing it once the fight starts, and right now we can’t. We need systems that are cheap enough to lose and easy to make in big numbers, because the side that runs out first loses.show more

🇨🇳🇾🇪🇸🇦 China is now operating with a strategy built... decades in advance. Following the Houthi blockade of the Bab el Mandeb, while the region faces growing disruption, China appears to be calmly maintaining access to its energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, while its commercial vessels continue transiting the Red Sea without facing significant interference. Why? China identified the world's key strategic chokepoints years ago and began establishing military and logistical footholds near them long before today's crises emerged. At present, two Chinese commercial vessels are reportedly loading oil at Yanbu and continuing their journey through the Red Sea toward the Arabian Sea. The Houthis have issued warnings and imposed a blockade, yet Chinese shipping continues to move. The reason is simple. China has a military presence in Djibouti, positioned near the Bab el Mandeb. Any serious attack on Chinese shipping could trigger a much stronger response. This is the advantage of long term strategic planning. China is not reacting to the crisis today. It positioned itself for it years ago.show more

Just days ago: “if he can get a deal... with China that’s a good thing.

Time, as the Rolling Stones said, is on my... side. The Iranian side, that is. Iran is on land, commanding the Strait of Hormuz. The 'United States' is out at sea, and all of its base belong to us. Iran can break the imperial economy with its weapon of Mass Economic Destruction (MED), but the White Empire can't break them because they're used to it. The ships that didn't leave a month ago are not arriving just now and Iran just has to wait for the imperial economy to blow. Any minute now. Iran is not in a hurry to make (or break) this ceasefire. Their shots have already been fired and they just need to wait a little bit for 'America' to realize it. They can delay this day a bit using the futures market, but eventually the future becomes the present, and then what? All 'America' can do, in its furore, is close the strait even more, which just makes the straitjacket even tighter. 'America' has to move mountains to change their fate, but all Iran has to do is not move.show more

What's happening in the Strait of Hormuz Every escalation... of the military-political situation around Iran is accompanied by numerous rumors and speculations about the blocking of shipping in the strategically important for the global economy Strait of Hormuz. Yesterday, the Iranian IRGC Navy broadcast a radio message about a complete ban on shipping, and the US Department of Transportation called for leaving the strait and adjacent waters. Later, the IRGC softened the rhetoric, stating that the strait was closed only for Americans. According to the latest reports, passage through the strait is allowed only for Iranian and Chinese naval ships. Such statements need to be confirmed by actions, and probably the first step on the path to a blockade was the defeat of the oil tanker SKYLIGHT, which was heading from an Iraqi port under the Palau flag. According to various reports, the ship was attacked by drones or missiles, and a fire broke out on board. At the moment, the tanker is anchored in the Persian Gulf near the coast of the Sultanate of Oman. It is reported that the crew was evacuated, as evidenced by the presence of a rescue boat nearby, from which footage of the fire was taken. It's worth noting that this tanker is on the US sanctions lists for transporting Iranian oil, but this does not mean it belongs to Iran. It's a classic "shadow" ship, operating under a "convenient" flag in the interests of whoever is currently paying. When reading reports on maritime events, it's worth remembering that this information is written and disseminated by journalists and bloggers, many of whom have only seen the sea in pictures, and none of whom have ever worked a single day on a ship. The Strait of Hormuz is not a road where you can put up a barrier, nor is it a field that can be carefully mined. The width of the Strait of Hormuz at its narrowest point reaches 40 kilometers, and at its widest point it is almost 100 kilometers. Of course, these figures are not so high given the depths, and theoretically, Iran has the military-technical capabilities to, if not stop, then seriously damage international shipping. However, it's highly doubtful that under the current circumstances, the leadership of the Islamic Republic will decide on radical actions, such as those that went down in history under the name "Tanker War". The lessons of those events showed that attacks and seizures of international ships could not stop traffic and did not collapse the global market, but they did turn many previously neutral states against Iran. Including the USSR, which was forced to send a fleet of warships to the Persian Gulf to combat the newly emerged piracy. We would also like to ask our bellicose authors to be less gloating and rejoicing at the news of burning and sinking ships. On each of these ships, sailors are burning and sinking - innocent citizens of Russia, Ukraine, India, the Philippines... and many other peaceful men and women, forced to work at sea to support their families. A reserve sailor, specially for the project wargonzo UPD: Iran does not intend to block the Strait of Hormuz at the moment, said the head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Abbas Arakchi, to Al Jazeera.
