It looks like the IRGC are calling the shots in the Strait of Hormuz, not the foreign minister. Predictable turn of events.

Completely agree!

No. I honestly think Kylie that they are so paralysed by the backlash against the Covid response. We should be rationing diesel right now. They can’t go hard and early.

I didn’t get the hat though- congrats on the doctorate!

You’re such an awesome person Jen, I am so glad you have found happiness in your relationship.

Rights Aotearoa will monitor the situation and if any statements seem to encroach on the threshold of being able to be reported to the Human Rights Commission I will do so.
