Iran's so-called 'ceasefire' promise is proving to be exactly what patriots expected – a complete lie designed to buy time while the terrorist regime continues strangling global oil shipments.
Ship-tracking services reported Thursday that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz – the world's most critical oil chokepoint – remains at a pathetic less than 10 percent of normal levels, despite Iran's supposed commitment to halt terror attacks on civilian vessels as part of its ceasefire agreement with the U.S. and Israel.
This is what happens when you negotiate with terrorists, folks. The Iranian mullahs made their 'promise' with crossed fingers behind their backs, and now global shipping companies are paying the price for trusting a regime that chants 'Death to America' in their parliament.
Economic Warfare Continues
The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20% of the world's oil traffic on a normal day. With shipping still paralyzed weeks after the supposed ceasefire, American families are feeling the pain at the gas pump while Iran laughs at Western weakness.
Shipping companies aren't stupid – they know Iran's word is worthless. These vessels carry billions in cargo and employ thousands of crew members. No captain in his right mind is going to risk sailing through what amounts to a Iranian-controlled kill zone, ceasefire or no ceasefire.
"Iran has a 45-year track record of breaking every agreement they've ever signed," one maritime security expert told reporters. "Only fools would trust them now."
President Trump's strong stance against Iranian aggression during his first term kept these sea lanes open and energy prices low. The contrast couldn't be clearer – strength works, weakness invites aggression.
The question every American should be asking is simple: How long will we allow this terrorist regime to hold the global economy hostage? Iran understands only one language – strength. Until they face real consequences for their maritime terrorism, they'll keep choking off the world's energy supplies while pretending to play nice at the negotiating table.
