Iran Says Hormuz Strait Will Close Two Years for Renovations

TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)—In a major setback for Donald J. Trump, on Monday Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed the next two years for renovations.

The Strait of Hormuz board, packed with cronies of Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, also approved a plan to put Khamenei's name on the renovated waterway.

"The Khamenei Strait of Hormuz will be the biggest and most beautiful trade chokepoint EVER!" the ayatollah announced in a social media post.

In the same post, he indicated that the renovated strait would have a "world-class toll booth" fitted with marble armrests "unlike anything ever done or seen before!"

There are kickbacks to Dr. Jesus' crime family involved for sure.

The Couch Humper will not be going to Islamabad to negotiate with Iran.  Peace talks are on hold.  Look for war crimes to resume shortly.

I hope he doesn't detour to the Vatican to settle that feud.

This appears to be more art than deal.

In a Jackson Pollock kind of way. Just throwing it around and seeing where it sticks.

Happy Taco Tuesday!

Trump is extending the ceasefire.

This is what happens when a narcissist pedophile is your President.

A deal to end the Iran war seemed close. Then Trump started posting on social media
https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/20/politics/social-media-posts-trump-iran-deal

"As the weekend approached, the US and Iran appeared to be closing in on a deal to end the seven-week war.

Then President Donald Trump did exactly what his staffers have repeatedly said they wouldn't do: He seemed to try negotiating via the press, posting about ongoing talks on social media and speaking to several reporters by phone Friday morning as Pakistani intermediaries updated him on ongoing talks with Iranian officials in Tehran.

He claimed Iran had agreed to a host of provisions that sources familiar with the talks said have not yet been finalized. He also asserted that Tehran had agreed to many of the most contentious US demands — including handing over the enriched uranium — and declared an imminent end to the war."

I had a 5-year-old nephew who wouldn't shut up. Blah blah blah blah blah. He was always prattling on, never a moment of silence.

But he had an excuse: He was 5.

And he also grew up to become relatively normal.

What is Dr. Jesus' excuse? And why hasn't he ever grown up?

when my mom had Frontotemporal Dementia, she didn't lose her memory, but it affected her behavior. There were times when she'd be rambling and angry, calling people about stuff, a burst of energy (the hospice nurse referred to it as a "terminal rally"). Seems like what we're seeing from Dear Leader. Time for a PAR test for him...for the good of the country, of course, so how could any real patriot refuse?

give the man the Nobel. He just saved the lives of 8 AI generated female protesters

BTW, the actual story about the real women is they reportedly (not confirmed though) had already been spared execution, some were released, and others are going to jail instead.

Who needs people with actual knowledge of how the U.S. military functions when we have Capt. Bone Spur and Korporal Kegger?

Believe me, no one knows more about naval than President Trump.  Many strong seamen have come up and said,

"Sir you know so much about the Naval" and cried

Don't forget that Barron will be appointed as a General any day now. And Melania will become an official Navy Escort.

I'm just bummed that Caedin Hamilton keeps making this war worse.

From Axios:

China has far more oil stashed away than any other country — giving it a strategic edge during the biggest oil shock in history, new U.S. government data shows.

Why it matters: China is a huge winner in the Iran war, due in large part to energy, including its oil stockpile. China also owns over 70% of the global solar, wind, battery and EV supply chains.

Those are all seeing a boost as import-dependent countries turn from oil and natural gas to renewables.

MCGA!
