Thailand is looking to export food and raw materials to Iran and other Middle East countries in exchange for its ships being allowed to safely bring back cargoes of plastic pellets and fertiliser from the conflict region, according to the commerce minister.

I think that’s a smart move, but it’s also kinda feeding the bully.
Hows this helping trump?
Now, now… don’t be facetious. The Iranian regime is responsible for funding and arming fundamentalist groups all over the Middle East for decades. There are no good guys in this war.
Can you list those radical fundamentalist terrorist groups you’re talking about? Have they ALL happened to ONLY fight the genocidal aparthied state in the reigon? Stop watching Fox news please… it’s not good for your brain
Hezbollah is nothing more than a mafia group occupying southern Lebanon and destabilizing the legitimate government for years, and using Lebanese territories to “fight” Israel while terrorizing the Lebanese population. They’re directly financed by the Ayatolla regime. The Houthis are even more demented and I don’t see them fighting an apartheid, just making war in the middle of nowhere and making everyone who lives there miserable in a circus militarist regime. Seems like your brain is in a fugue state where anyone who disagrees with you is a zionist.
He didn’t even accuse you of being a zionist, at least not directly. There’s also the possibility that you’re just stupid.
He started insulting and you’re just doubling down. And how can anyone argue that Iranian funded fundamentalist groups are freedom fighters? So there’s nothing wrong in defending people committing atrocities as long as they’re not Israelis? The people in the middle east are as much hostages from those groups as they are from the IDF.
They’re freedom fighters because they’re objectively freedom fighters. I don’t see any need to purity test the people standing up to Israel and the US. Tot during wartime at least, I can criticize them once they’ve won.
Ok, then we’re both stupid. Glad we settled that.
Better stupid and on the right side than stupid and an american lapdog
So the right side is occupying southern Lebanon, install military bases there with Iranian money, launch attacks to another country and then running away to hide in Beirut just so Israel can bomb the hell out of it. What’s the fault of the Lebanese? Why are they on the wrong side?
And the Houthis?? How are they the right side for attacking… (checks notes) Yemen and Saudi Arabia!? Where those countries on the IDF side too? It’s all Iranian politics, the same for decades.
Hamas will kill anyone in Gaza who doesn’t pay them “protection” money for their mafia racket. Are Palestinans in the wrong side too?
“Occupying” southern Lebanon? They’re supported by the inhabitants of southern Lebanon, you dolt. They’re the de-facto Lebanese army. Likewise with the Houthis - they are Yemen. They represent the popular will, and they control the territory on which the majority of Yemenis live. Christ, you’re stupid.
They were propped up by Iranian money you asshole. They wouldn’t exist if they weren’t state sponsored you dumb cretin.
They received money from a friendly government, therefore their demonstrable popular legitimacy is actually fake? Tell that to Vietnam you mouth breathing imbecile.
Just like the Contras were demonstrably popular in Nicaragua then?
They’re popular in Iran! My god, you have the intelligence of a dead fly in the ass of an ox.
Clearly I can’t logic you out of your moronic opinion that Iran can just money their way to having unpopular mass movements in other countries, so we’ll leave that one be for now. They’re fighting against genocidal nazi pedophiles. Like what is your fucking deal? Obviously none of them are perfect (otherwise they would be marxist-leninists) but there’s clearly a much greater evil they’re fighting against.
You lied and spread misinformation. Hezbolla never participated in a civil war even when paid mossad Lebanese agents started killing and egging on a civil war for decades. They literally said we never aimed a bullet inside Lebanon before. In fact, the reason they were founded was the Israeli occupation and aggression on Lebanon. you answered yourself when you realized thay all those groups whom you consider terrorists just happened to fight the zionist genocidal aparthied.
Please try sincerely to look up the history and resources of this. If so I can provide you resources of wiki and historic articles and documented evidence. Otherwise I have to assume you are indeed a Fox news brainwashed zio.
Hezbolla were the only reason Israel could not invade Lebanon, now that Hezbolla has been degraded and dismantled, Israel has started a ground invasion of Lebanon which proves the point
Nobody said Iran is ruled by angels, but “the bully” in March of 2026 is the guy who started the war, so either trump or bibi.
So… We shouldn’t give them food!? The fuck’s wrong with you?
That’s solely your words.
That’s the entire purpose of the post! If you disagree with it, what are you advocating??
I wasn’t disagreeing with the post, I was replying to someone who said this food was helping Trump.
What’s your problem?
So, the only reason the US would need help keeping SoH open is they want to declare mission accomplished and leave, instead of making a peace deal with Iran. Latter is not a genuine option, because Iran will be the toll booth to entire Gulf without US agreeing to all Iranian concessions. With or without a peace deal, US is unlikely to reinvest in GCC defense, and they are unlikely to reciprocate to US financialization bubble. US being unable to control Israel’s strikes on energy infrastructure results in destroyed GCC infrastructure retaliation, and much longer supply disruptions after the war.
There’s no reason for countries to not make a deal with Iran while the war is still going because US simply isn’t in charge of SoH, and is not sinking ships themselves.
