🇺🇸Trump is saying in effect that Washington will be collecting tolls from the Strait if Hormuz, not Iran or Oman. Why would he say that?

Boiling Rage
What the fuck is this?! What kind of insanity are the reformists spitting?! There’s no way in hell that the leader or the Iranian people will find this acceptable! This is disgusting levels of cowardice, worse than cowardice, it’s fucking treason!
The only possible thing I could even imagine this being, is these reformist pigs are trying to make the nation look bad by setting up a deal they will never abide by! Than, when Iran obviously breaks with their “commitments” (selling out), the reformists replay their classic bullshit of saying:
“we had a deal, but the Supreme Leader and the hardliners are unwilling to concede or be flexible!”
Although this time, they’ve rapidly alienated the people, no longer controlling the narrative. These men are selling out Iran, they are desperately attempting to push a capitulation to the west before the Iranian people hang them in the streets.
What a ludicrous hail mary, and utterly despicable display of mental colonization! The leader can not let this stand, the country needs to completely liquidate these traitorous bastards. Iran will never he sovereign as long as they are allowed to freely propagate their fetish for colonization.
I’m glad for your perspective on the reformists, cause otherwise this would make no fucking sense at all. I mean, even with that context, it’s confusing as hell to follow along with in the news. Like how do they even benefit from this? I don’t get it.
This whole thing with the MoU is an absolute shitshow, from everything I’ve seen shared on it. Not just from Iran’s end, but like US says one thing, israel says another… I wonder how much is purposeful psyop and how much is infighting from both ends (empire and anti-imperialist).
The reformists have dine shit like this before. Make obvious unacceptable promises to the west, than, when the actually sovereign parts of Iran’s leadership doesn’t follow through, or blocks progress on implementing those concessions, they attack the “hardliners” for being too rigid. From there, they whip up a fuss among their supporters using their extensive media networks or local NGOs. When a non-reformist is in power (as has happened unoccasionally) then they make it difficult to govern by pushing their supporters to protest dye to issues they created previously. These initial protests often expand, and then turn into the massive psyop regime change operations that the US ferments in Iran, forcing the IRGC to respond with heavy force.
The reformists willingness to slash subsidies, and give handouts to Iranian capitlists also Usually pisses people off, leading to protests of their own, again havomg to be suppressed by the IRGC.
Damn, that is infuriating.
It really sounds like the reformists need to be out of the picture. It seems like they have some bourgeois ambitions, which is why they keep making concessions to the monstrous Yankee regime, thinking they’ll get rich if they help usher in the US. Bastard traitors. Always following the damned money. It really sounds like, hopefully, they’ll cause enough of a stir to alienate the people of Iran and bring about their own demise.
How would the IRGC remove the reformists from power?
Frankly the most effective method would be to seize the assets of various oligarchs.
I assumed they could just remove them by making them resign, but given this is during a war, seizing their assets is probably a better choice than just forcibly removing them out of the picture which could potentially destabilize the situation.
Mojtaba will sort this out. His dad is dead and the IRGC and army support his decisions.
But IRGC doesn’t want to attempt a coup and put these traitors out of their misery
Is it not a coup. The Supreme Leader holds the ultimate authority over all matters of war and peace. If the Supreme Leader’s directives and red lines were not followed Pezeshkian would be in breach of his constitutional duties and could be dismissed if the Supreme Court or Parliament agreed. Even if it didn’t go that far if Pezeshkian’s negotiations fail to pass Mojtaba’s standards its going to ruin his credibility something fierce.
Let’s hope this happens soon so that the Reformists can’t do more harm
