Within a day of announcing a plan to use US warships to escort oil tankers through the Srait of Hormuz, Trump and Kushner have had to abandon it after Iran frooze traffic through the Hormuz by sttacking vessels and the UAE.
Iran s Lego video gives us an insight into how drones, speedboats and mines turned Project freedom into a disaster as so many warned it would become.

But flying over the Hormuz in an Apache as a PR stunt, Centcom Cmdr Brad Cooper could not tell the difference between latent and potential military capacities and actual ones, it seems.
Until the drones and speedboats and mines appeared, Cooper did not seem to believe they did not exist.
Even relentless Trump propagandists like Zerohedge had to carry the story that zero oil tankers got through Hormuz on Tuesday because at the end of the day, it is the facts that count.

The emperor has now been fully revealed to have no clothes.
As Trump heads to Beijing tomorrow, let us the Chinese officials who will actually have to deal with this evil bluffer, liar, fraud and trickster for even half an hour let alone with his even more evil and incompetent son in law Kushner, stalking around in the background apparantly always to tell Trump what to do through some kind of blackmail which may or may not be linked to Epstein.
The CCP should drop the red carpet reception and roll out a broken door mat to receive Trump when he arrives on Airforce One to demonstrate to the meglomaniac Trump the truth about his real power in 2026.
The bombast, the propaganda, the bluff,the notion the US is winning and can impose its might on Iran has been exposed as hollow.
The US military cannot accomplish the tasks Trump and Kushner have set it,and the real embarassment is the Centcom command who could not foresee the diasaster.
Brad Cooper should have told Trump the truth and prevented the launch of a doomed op in the first place,which now makes him, Trump and Hegseth look even more like idiots than they did before. And did anyone think that was possible?
Charles Kushner tried to blackmail his own brother in law after all. Does anyone think his son Jared would not try to compromise his father in law with an evil father like that?The Kushner family s very maxims seem to be evil. The principle of the ends justifies the means is the principle of Satnaic evil.
By taking out the international arrest warrants as per E 17 449 and E 17 376, the CCP woud do the world a favour!
Becuse as the energy shock crisis they caused unfols, Trump and Kushner and the Epstein Billionaires may end up pleading to go to prison to escape the MAGA mobs furious at gas at 12 dollars a gallon and a carton of milk at 50 dollars.
From media
Status of the war: The US will pause “Project Freedom,” the effort aimed at guiding commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said. The announcement came just hours after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the combat operation against Iran has ended and the US would instead focus on Project Freedom.
• Iranian FM in China: Iran’s top diplomat is in Beijing for talks “on regional and international developments” with his Chinese counterpart. It is the first time the foreign ministers of the two allies have met face-to-face since the war began.
• Economic impact: Demand for oil is falling at the fastest rate seen outside the Covid pandemic, as businesses and consumers cut consumption. Global oil stockpiles have also seen their sharpest decline since the Covid-19 pandemic. US gas prices have increased by 50% since the start of the war.
