So let me get this right:

The Iranians mine much of the Strait of Hormuz, and then allow certain ships through (friendly and/or willing to pay);

The Tangerine Tyrant claims this is 'closing' the Strait (it isn't);

Pakistan mediated 'peace talks' fail because JD Vance refuses to budge - not negotiation, just demands for surrender;

Now, the US says it will close the Strait - the very thing it accused Iran of doing?

Thereby deepening the crisis the attacks on Iran caused.
