    WSJ Exclusive: Trump Administration Plans to Announce Coalition to Escort Ships Through Strait of Hormuz


    My guess is that the bottom is in, this week. We're now back to Sept '25 levels, and I'm guessing back on the march to SPY 7000 by EOY.

    LEAPS it is, tomorrow.

      Insurers won’t be convinced. Also this is not economical for the militaries. 

      Also iran will want to take some shots and probably have mined

      Every single country rejects the call one after another:

      Trump Administration: Announces Coalition to Escort Ships Through Strait of Hormuz

      I was just reading how no other country wanted to send ships to join this coalition. Is this real or leak from Trump to pump market?

      “They are still discussing whether operations begin before or after hostilities end”

      lol

      No escorts happening anytime soon

      Or in today’s standards. Trump and his Truth Social

      Even if the strait is forceibly reopened, all it takes is one escorted oiler hit for the entire plan to go bust. I doubt insurers are satisfied by warship escorts.

      Worst yet, American sailors will now enter the line of fire, and it’s a huge propaganda victory for Iran/Russia/China to show US warships hit.

      I don’t see how this is a viable solution.

      Coalition= same countries that tend to vote with US in UN lately.
      Tonga and Micronesia should be able to supply some nice fishing canoes.

      Didn’t they also push for lower oil prices and now brent is up 58% since feb?

      Edit * Oil is a hard word to spell

      If they’re still discussing if it will be “before or after the hostilities end” this could be months away. Non-news.

      Trump – “Hey guys I screwd up can you help me fix things?”

      Everyone Else – TBD

      Is the coalition in the room with us 😂 easy puts after whatever fake pump this cause at market open

    24. Numerous-Stand-1841 on

      Reminds me of that Chappelle Show skit:

      “I got a coalition of the willing. I got 40 nations ready to roll”

      “Like what country?”

      “Who the fuck said that?”

    28. FreakyFranklinBill on

      sounds like a perfect job for the members of the board of peace / piece of board / bored of peace

    29. turribledood on

      No, the bottom happens after some $5,000 drones start hitting our $5,000,000,000 boats

    30. pierdola91 on

      I thought coalitions were for losers and that America’s allies didn’t really fight in Afghanistan and Iraq? Isn’t America so star spangled awesome it doesn’t need any help? 

      Trump hasn’t tried bribing the insurance companies, so either he’s got a side hustle with them going or he’s got to raise his offer. 

      This hasn’t gone bad enough for him or America or Israel yet.

      LMAO. Right after friday close: Bomb Kargh. Right before Monday open – announcement of coalition. Such blatantly obvious that Tremp is scared shitless. Iran is gonna get their regime change, it is just not gonna be in Iran

      “Look, I just got off the phone. A very important phone call. Many people are saying it was the most important call in the history of maritime—maybe ever. We’re talking about the **Strait of Hormuz**. A very narrow place. Very tight. I’ve seen it, I’ve looked at the maps, I understand the water better than the Admirals, believe me.

      And we are putting together a coalition. A **Tremendous Coalition**.

      I spoke to the Prime Ministers, I won’t say which countries because they want to keep it a secret. They’re very shy. They said, “Mr. President, sir, we want to help, but we have a small navy.” I said, don’t worry about it. We have the best ships. We have ships that can go underwater, ships that stay on top—beautiful, big, gray ships with the most incredible “invisible” technology. You can’t even see them!

      Now, the Fake News—and they are very dishonest people, the most crooked—they’re saying, “Oh, France said no. Germany said no.” **Wrong.** They didn’t say no. They said, “We’re thinking about it very strongly.” Which is basically a yes, but in a different language. It’s a European thing. They’re very slow. But we don’t need them! We have countries you haven’t even heard of. Very powerful countries. Some of them are islands, but they have very aggressive rowboats. Very brave people.

      We’re protecting the oil. We’re protecting the ships. Iran? They see what’s happening. They see the coalition. They’ve never seen anything like it. It’s going to be **Safe, Secure, and very, very Profitable.”**

      **- Mango (probably)**

      Why would they join a coalition with the US when they can just let Iran know they are coming through and are not affiliated with the US? Iran said all the have to do is coordinate with them to get passage.

    38. sbeebs12345678 on

      I think it’s only US bound ships that are being targeted why would any other nation care?

    40. legbreaker on

      This is not happening till after the hostilities.

      But is announced just before the futures for the week start.

      He knows he is cooked if the stock market goes down.

    41. crunchsoop on

      You should probably read the article you posted.

      “Haven’t decided if the escorting happen before or after hostilities end.”

      That shit is as real as those doge checks at this point.

      Good luck on those leaps.

    43. sttmvp on

      The market will bounce Monday, sideways action (in a $2-3 zone) Tuesday and early Wednesday and tank again Wednesday after lunch

    45. One-Syllabub1866 on

      yawn … more lies. There is no coalition; you’re being played. At this point, there is no credibility left in this shit-show of an administration.
