Petition to rename it to “Schrödingers straight”
That sounds like he’s really questioning his sexuality
I object to you making this sound more fun that it is
At no time did Iran ever claim that the Strait of Hormuz is “completely open“. Never. Not ever did they claim this.
Anyone who claims Iran said this is a liar
Edit: Especially Donald Trump
Edit 2: Iran did technically use these words, but if you read the conditions, it is obviously not at all true. So either it is a lie, a mistranslation, or someone is definitely an idiot.
Down vote, the truth all you like, but it remains true
Except, that they did.
“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X on Friday.

Am I a liar?
Are Al Jazeera’s reporters liars?
Is Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi lying by declaring it?
What is your angle here.
Edit: lol “downvote all you want” they write, after adding a bunch of qualifications to their extremely inaccurate and inflammatory post that was easily debunked.
In the meantime since the declaration yesterday, dozens of tankers went through the Strait, illustrating it was open. Then the USA intercepted several of them… And now Iran has declared it closed again, exactly as they said they would if the tankers were intercepted. So now, as of 20 minutes ago, Iran has declared it closed again.
slow clap again for the US, and the fine leadership they’ve voted in twice now
In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon
Didn’t Israel break that within hours?
Sounds about right.
No, it’s that you don’t understand the reporting. Or you took Donald Trump‘s word for it, which was a huge mistake.
Iran has opened the strait for limited navigation, under their control by their navy. They have opened it with tolls. Not just anyone can pass through. Only those whom they approve can pass through. Which is a vague and undefined definition that can change at any time, at their whim.
So, yes, it seems like you’re either lying or don’t understand the news article you read.
Even your quote states some of the limited conditions under which ships can pass. Nothing about it is “completely open”. Its openness is extremely limited.
Is it false that Abbas Araghchi wrote “the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire”? Regardless of how the situation actually is, did he write that?
regardless of whatever idiot wrote what, the reality is what it is.
I speak to facts. you can waste time arguing for whatever inaccuracies you like, but stop wasting my time with them.
I don’t know or care what Trump has said about it. There are many dozens of news articles from reputable organizations reporting the exact same message, because it’s an exact quote from the Iranian Foreign Ambassador.
All you’ve proven is that you can’t read.
You:
“Anyone claiming Iran says the straight is open is a liar”
Me:
Exact quote from Iran saying the straight is “completely open”.
You: No… Uh… Not like that! Let me rephrase!
Rephrase all you like, you’re still incorrect
Israel once again ignored the cease fire. They even killed French soldiers
I am still missing some information in the article about what they mean by open. Does it mean ships can pass after paying between the Qeshm and Larak islands? Or between the islands free of charge? Or will they remove all of the mines so the strait would be actually open as it was?
There is no possible reading of that article that could lead an intelligent person to that conclusion.
I hope you’re a liar, because the alternative is that you’re an idiot— or, worse, that you believed what Trump said, and are some kind of MAGA sycophant
I don’t know or care what Trump has said about it. There are many dozens of news articles from reputable organizations reporting the exact same message, because it’s an exact quote from the Iranian Foreign Ambassador.
All you’ve proven is that you can’t read.
OP:
“Anyone claiming Iran says the straight is open is a liar”
Me: Exact quote from Iran saying the straight is “completely open” with supporting evidence.
And then you insult my intelligence and accuse me of Trump/MAGA shit?
Oh seeing your comment history I think this is like a pattern with you. So long, won’t miss you.
