Iran Says Hormuz Strait Will Close Two Years for Renovations


TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)—In a major setback for Donald J. Trump, on Monday Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed the next two years for renovations.

The Strait of Hormuz board, packed with cronies of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, also approved a plan to put Khamenei’s name on the renovated waterway.

“The Khamenei Strait of Hormuz will be the biggest and most beautiful trade chokepoint EVER!” the ayatollah announced in a social media post.

In the same post, he indicated that the renovated strait would have a “world-class toll booth” fitted with marble armrests “unlike anything ever done or seen before!”

LMAO these guys are a trip.


I wonder how many Presidents it takes to learn "dont be Israel's whore" .

It doesn't pay.


If this escalates there's nothing good. But there could be:


1.)IF there's a ground assault -- it won't be good. Maybe future people who would enlist will look at that and find another line of work.

2.)IF it's another quagmire - maybe Republicans will decide -- being Israel's whore isn't worth it. So would democrats.


Silver Linings, I guess.

Bill: “And you just now discovered this?”

Oh no, I always knew you and the left always passed the satire on as truth, just thought I’d finely call it out.
