Dear Kiwis, the Strait must be reopened but we are not helping Trump’s insane illegal war!
The Strait of Hormuz must reopen, but that doesn’t mean New Zealand should fight someone else’s war.

The Strait of Hormuz must reopen, but that doesn’t mean New Zealand should fight someone else’s war.

Should New Zealand join a US-led mission in the Strait of Hormuz, or stay out of another Middle East conflict entirely?

Trump’s Iran war is blowing out in cost and chaos, and may end up strengthening the very regime it was meant to crush.

Washington clutches its pearls over gunfire at a media gala while the real violence in Gaza, Iran and at the petrol pump keeps escalating.

Markets are acting like the Iran crisis will blow over. If Hormuz closes, that fantasy could end in inflation, fuel shortages and recession.

NZ is so laid back we may sleepwalk through a fuel crisis, an LNG gamble, and an economic shock — all while being told not to panic.

Trump’s blunder into Iran may be the worst geopolitical mistake since Vietnam — and Kiwi drivers will pay for it this weekend.

He says the Strait is open. Iran says no. The world watches a superpower stumble into chaos — and we all pay the price.
Forget the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s most devastating move could be precision drone strikes on global fuel infrastructure — and the world isn’t ready.
If Iran closing Hormuz is extortion, what is America doing? Trump’s plan doesn’t just target Iran — it turns the entire global economy into collateral damage.
