Iran Issues Six Demands on the US to Re-Open the Strait

Here’s the exact translated demands.

Iran Six Demands

Grok Translation

In the Name of God, the Exalted Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened. Correcting its behavior means:

  1. Never threaten Iran in any language and never insult the sanctities of this nation.
  2. Permanently end the war and aggression against Iran and Iran’s allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq.
  3. Lift the naval blockade and withdraw its military forces (naval and air) from around Iran.
  4. Fully and completely pay the damages of the two aggressive and imposed wars against Iran.
  5. Lift the oppressive and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation.
  6. Unconditionally release the blocked and stolen assets of the Iranian people.

These are the demands of the mobilized people of Iran, who have been shouting them during one hundred and sixty days of relentless presence in the squares and streets.

The Supreme National Security Council will never back down, whether in war or in negotiations.

Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr
Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council

A deal isn’t near and won’t be until there is total capitulation by Trump.

Where Things Are Now

NYT

On Board the USS Lincoln

In the Navy

Right now, more than 5,000 sailors and Marines are stuck aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in the ninth month of a deployment that was supposed to last seven, supporting military operations against Iran that Congress never authorized.

Their families are begging someone to listen.

Moldy showers, broken toilets, no hot water for weeks, meals that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas.

A ship’s store out of soap, deodorant, and toothpaste.

Sailors so worn down that, according to one family member, the ship’s own doctor warned they need to reach port soon or people are going to start losing their minds.

Back in April, when families first raised the alarm, Pete Hegseth dismissed the reports as fake news. These are the people we ask to serve in one of the most dangerous workplaces on Earth, the flight deck of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

They, and their families, deserve answers.

Iran Blasts a Ship Escorted by US Fighter Jets

Yesterday, I asked Iran Blasts a Ship Escorted by US Fighter Jets. Is the Strait Open?

All week, Trump and Bessent said a deal was imminent, another pack of lies.

No, the strait isn’t open.

I said in March that Iran’s goal was to inflict as much pain on Trump as possible, regardless of cost to Iran.

Trump had an out with the MOU and F’d it up.

They’ve already told us (just the past week, again) that they are changing doctrines not just to enable first-strikes, escalate to de-escalate, low threshold tactical nukes, low yield gravity devices … no, they want first use nukes to pre-emptively shape the battle field.

In other words, nukes to substitute for lack of conventional ammo which has been exhausted.

I’m not shedding any tears for these sailors, although I’m a veteran. They signed up for this job, it’s on them. My generation was forced to serve (at $3/day), plenty of room for complaints there. IMHO, no person with a brain should join the military. I wish I had had the money to buy a doctor to say my foot was sore (Trump) or that I had allergies (Biden). There is nothing worse than militarism, it’s a shame our esteemed leaders don’t understand this.

The military was always the way to escape poverty for southern, white boys.You got to learn some discipline and hopefully learn a skill useful in the private sector. You also got to feel a little proud because people told you that you were serving your country and Mom had a “My son in in the Army!” sticker on her SUV. There was always some associated danger, but nothing like the danger of growing up a meth-head in some small Mississippi town trailer park.

As per Al Jazeera, the Houthis have just carried out two major military operations:

1 – “a large-scale and precise” operation targeting Saudi enemy troops and weapons depots in the Mocha area, Red Sea.

2 – Attacked and caused major fires at the Saudi Aramco facility in Jizan.

So as of right now, Iran and its proxies have seized the initiative and instead of reacting to or retaliating against US attacks, are conducting major offensive operations themselves.

Finally, as reported by Al Jazeera:

Iran says no talks with US, only messages via intermediaries

Iran is currently not holding negotiations with the US and is only exchanging messages through intermediaries, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says, adding that talks can’t resume until Washington makes amends for what he described as violations of an MoU between them.

In comments carried by Iran’s Mehr news agency, Araghchi said mediators were still trying to find ways to restart talks but that Tehran didn’t believe negotiations could resume until the alleged US breaches were addressed.

“Efforts are under way to create grounds for negotiations,” he said, reiterating that there was no possibility of resuming talks until the US corrected its violations.

Araghchi said changing sea routes in the Strait of Hormuz is a technical and legal matter and doesn’t amount to opening the strait.

Al Jazeera:

Firefighters extinguish blaze at Saudi Aramco facility in Jizan

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy says firefighters have “extinguished a fire that broke out at dawn” in a facility belonging to the Saudi Aramco Reinery in Jizan.

It did not say what caused the fire and said there were no injuries.

Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have previously claimed attacks on Saudi oil facilities in Jizan, while Saudi authorities have also blamed Iran-backed militias in Iraq for such attacks.

Iran and its proxies demonstrating, once again, that they can demolish the entire oil infrastructure of the Gulf if they so wish.

This is nothing new. This is not a revelation. The US military has known this to be true for years. But since Trump does not read intelligence reports, he needs to be reminded in different ways.

When you consider the language and tone used. They are coming from a different place than they have been.

This doesn’t sound like somebody who’s trying to find a compromise to end the war. This sounds like somebody who’s going to consider ending the war if the following conditions are met. That’s the guy who believes he’s winning.

Now look at the language and tone used by America. America does sound like a country that’s winning the war. For me, this sounds like someone forced to try and bluff there way out of an uneven fight.

When people start talking about Russia and China getting in on this. Seriously, we really don’t have the cards.

Does not help that morale may be plummeting everywhere and not just the one aircraft carrier.

We’ve already lost. We just don’t know by how much. I believe there are people in the military, of all ranks, that also know we have already lost.

The difference is this war is 100% a war of choice and blackmail/bribery. There is no reason to have a carrier there in the first place, much less having a crew suffering for months on end when there are almost a dozen carriers in the fleet and there should be steady rotations (as is normal). I served onboard the USS Constellation and we were in the Gulf pummeling Iraq (without cause, in retrospect, and I’m glad I didn’t know that back then).

The main point of the “Abraham Lincoln thing” is that the prolonged deployment of the carrier shows how asset constrained the US military is.

Most of the US bases in the Gulf have been pounded by Iran, making US air operations more difficult and increasing the reliance on an already over stretched carrier that is way past due the end data of its current tour of duty.

It shows Iran how few military options the US has.

Their 6 requirements seem reasonable to me. Iran has been bullied by the West and Israel for decades. Trump pushed them to find their one ace-in-the-hole. It’s all they have to obtain a degree of justice.

They are dealing with a country that “double tap” bombed a girl’s school. Then lied about it. Then refused apologize, much less compensate the families in any way.

They are dealing with a country that sucker-punch assassinated the leaders of the country while they were negotiating. And the leaders’ families. They are dealing with a country that is too much Israel’s bitch to have any honor.

No one would be idiot enough to trust the word of the US govt. So Iran demands specific actions, each reasonable.

Immovable object meets irreparable fool. Trump’s only way out is to craft an unprecedented domestic PR card trick, or drop nukes. Fortunately for the PR option, the mean intelligence of the US voter makes it a worthwhile gamble for the gambler in chief. So my money says he’ll issue an ultimate victory claim, and our ships will probably sit there and rot awhile. Meanwhile he will throw all kinds of distractions at the wall to see what sticks (remembering his recent supposedly critical primetime election dangers announcement).

So Iran is saying No More Greater Isreal – Stop It

I Do Not Know How Long This Language Could Last
I applaud it – but would not blame Iran if it were modified
– if they caved a little

Probably the Most Difficult – And Most Important
It is listed #2 but is really #1

2. Ending, once and for all, any war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq

Could really not blame Iran if they loosened this and were forced to benefit Iran only
It is a very daring and couragous position to take
and they do list it as # 2 but it is really #1

#1 is not threats nor insults which surely the US could promise immediately

Of Course ending all agression in Lebanon, Palestine mean Greater Israel is done – Greater Isreal is the Isreal 70 year project backed by US strongly for the last 30 years at least

That’s how dimwitted you are JoJo, you don’t notice the subtle shift in the times and frequency I post comments. That should have been a tip off to you that I already changed time zones. I exited a while ago.

Wanted to be out before the election chaos and civil unrest that will likely follow. I’m living it large baby!

Watch out for that grim reaper JoJo, that scythe is really sharp.

I was out on one of those boats as a contractor. It was filthy and stank, and a lot of the plumbing was busted. I slept on the floor in the machine shop. The berthing area was… something else.

There is so much plumbing on a carrier that after a certain point, they just have to play the triage game. I don’t know what it’s like today, but even given the losing battle with maintenance that they were having with the ship I was on (42 years old at the time) I have few disparaging things to say about it. Berthing is berthing, people have to live there, but by the middle of the day, all the berthing compartments had to be spic and span. Or, as spic and span as you could get with bags of dirty laundry on each rack.

Meanwhile the Iranians are arming up further, both by themselves and with the help of their good friends Russia, China and others. And unfortunately this Iran war just showed us that the Chinese with their 100 times stronger than Iran missile and drone armed military could destroy our Pacific fleet in about an hour. The last 20 year shitshow of lousy corrupt leadership, offshoring manufacturing, and corporate consolidation has left the U.S. as a shallow obsolete shell.

Everyone with an ounce of common sense knows there are only 2 kinds of naval vessels. Submarines and targets.

The only naval vessels that matter in the Pacific are the nuclear subs of which there are plenty.

The carrier forces are just to bully 2nd rate nations like Iran who can’t strike back.

The carriers are staying 700 miles away from Iran, so somebody thinks they can strike back. US jets traveling from carriers (or even Jordan) need to be re-fueled and our KC-135’s are sitting ducks in Israel.

Sure they are staying away from retal strikes. I didn’t say they were invincible.

But as you acknowledge, planes are taking off from there and doing military runs in Iran. There is zero chance that could happen against Russia or China.

wars are usually not won with battles. it’s usually a long game of attrition and fatigue and politics. the us empire doesn’t feed the treasury with any riches from our warmongering. first chapter in “art of war”. you don’t send subs to war. you must bring an entire empire to war. the amerikan empire in 21st century are filled with grifters. why we haven’t won a war since 1945. ps. i tried. building my own sub as a young man. ha ha ha. i still LOL at our crazy youth on 3rd base in our empire.

The Strait will not be opening any time soon. Time is clearly on Iran’s side, at least until the US elections in November.

Expect Trump to say there is a deal coming tomorrow, followed by an announcement that he will hit Iran harder than anyone in the history of the world has been hit, followed by an announcement that negotiations are going well so he is postponing the hit, etc.

His other options (besides stalling) are to invade with ground troops or to capitulate, beginning with returning frozen Iranian assets and removing all sanctions.

Trump with idiotic errors painted himself (us) “strait” into this corner. He has done more in a few months to damage USA prestige, global posture and military readiness than any other person, ever.
Now he wants us to pour more money to top up his black hole of follies.

The Iran/Oman talks were not on tolls. They were on the operation of a new route along the coast of Oman.

As Trump has repeatedly stated, the Iranian Regime will not be allowed to work on a nuclear weapon or to charge tolls on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. PERIOD!

Those talks were separate and different from anything the US is involved in.

And the Iranian Regime suffering tremendously economically while we wait for them to admit that the guy they call their leader has been dead for months now. I documented this in prior article links posted.

Meanwhile, the US continues to blockade Iranian ports, preventing them from loading or selling their oil. They lose $6 billion every month in lost oil sales. Other Gulf states are building pipelines and even when the Strait opens again, the influence of the Iranian Regime will be greatly dimiished.

Our stock market is booming, unemployment is at 4.2%. Although I would like ot see regular bombing runs, including on their power and water plants, we can easily outwait the Iranian Regime.
