  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. is expecting a response on Friday from Iran on the proposal to end the war.
  • "We should know something today. ... We're expecting a response from them," Rubio told reporters in Rome on Friday.
  • The comments come after reports that Iran and the U.S. were nearing a 14-point memorandum of understanding to put an end to the war.

Great. So does this mean the Strait of Hormuz will go back to the way it was before Operation Epic Fail?
You mean going back to ships having to pay a toll to the Islamic regime despite being in open water? At present all international shipping is able to pass through the Strait unimpeded. The only ships unable to pass are Iranian vessels.

There were no tolls prior to the attacks by Israel and the US. Glad to clarify that for readers of this thread.

Iran immediately started imposing a toll after attempting to blockade the Strait. Since it will take a long time for the regime to recover financially from the war, do you honestly believe they wouldn't continue extracting a toll if they had the means?
