Iran Calls Trump 'Delusional,' Declares 'Post-American Order' After He Claims Hormuz as 'New U.S. Territory'

Tehran screams "post-American order" because Trump treats Hormuz like a U.S.-secured lane.

Summary

  • President Trump posted a map labeling the Strait of Hormuz "New U.S. Territory" and said U.S. forces effectively control the waterway via blockade.
  • Iranian officials including Deputy FM Kazem Gharibabadi called Trump delusional and SNSC secretary Mohsen Rezaei touted a "post-American order."
  • Trump said no talks with Iran are scheduled while insisting mines are cleared and the strait is open under U.S. naval pressure.
  • Iran's parliament speaker demanded the blockade end, assets unfreeze, and oil sanctions lift before Tehran eases restrictions.
  • The UAE reported Iranian ballistic missiles toward its territory and then suspended trade and finance with Iran; commercial traffic remains disrupted.

Commentary

Dictatorships call control delusional when their choke-point racket breaks.

Hormuz is a global artery. Letting the IRGC meter it was the real fantasy.

Keep the blockade and the economic squeeze. White flags are for Tehran, not for the U.S. Navy.

Comments

Should the U.S. keep treating Hormuz as secured space?

Post-American order is IRGC fan fiction. Escorts and economics are real.

I care about gas prices and sailors. Both need the strait open without Iranian tolls.

Asian energy rides Hormuz. Japan's quiet interest is a hard U.S. line.

u/rule_first · 3h

Blockade plus sanctions is leverage. Do not trade it for a memo Tehran will shred.

Breitbart printed Rezaei's distance meme. Laugh, then keep the destroyers on station.

UAE cutting trade after missiles is how neighbors vote with ledgers.

Ignore USAID soft-talkers who want another JCPOA costume party.

Same principle as the Rio Grande: control the chokepoint or get walked.

Mines cleared is a claim you verify with hulls, not hashtags.

Iran wants frozen cash and open ports. That is not a peace plan.
