Why is the Strait of Hormuz being used as a turn style? It's open then closed open then closed? Kind like Daffy and Bugs fighting over Duck season and Wabbit Season? (lemmy.world)

Iran has a bunch of protests over their government. The US and Israel use this as a pretext to bomb the fuck out of them "for humanitarian reasons" (because Israel has a hate boner for Iran).

Iran closes the straight of Hormuz (a major shipping traffic lane that runs through Iran's Exclusive Economic Zone (their national waters)).

Iran closes the Straight of Hormuz in retaliation against Israel, The US and any US allies that support the US and Israel's bombing of their country.

Pakistan uses diplomacy to bring the US and Iran to the bargaining table to talk Peace. Iran agrees to open the Straight for shipping traffic contingent on a cease fire agreement. US agrees without talking to Israel. Israel breaks cease fire agreement. Straight closes again. Rinse and repeat.
