Did Trump Outsmart Iran? The Strait of Hormuz Strategy Explained

Is the ceasefire done?Is the MOU dead?

It's a very interesting question.To me, I think it's over.I don't want to deal with them anymore.They're scum.You know what scum is?They're scum.

They're sick people.They're led by sick people.And they're vicious, violent people.And if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it.

Ask the obvious question.This is what you need to be thinking about.Why would Iran torch a deal that good?Because the memorandum never actually settled Who runs the strait?It only gave Iran 60 days of policing rights, and it looks like Trump played them.So during the truce that's been established in this last ceasefire, the U .

S.and Oman have quietly revived an old abandoned shipping lane along Oman's coast.The street's original main channel before 1979 was this shipping route, but it got shelved for decades after the Iranian Revolution.So, ceasefire happens, we went in, we demined it, we got the UN's shipping authority to bless it, we put our navy on it, and we reopened it to full tanker traffic.And this is a route that Iran can't toll, and they can't control.And now, ceasefire is still going, But most of the global traffic is already running through this alternative shipping lane, which leaves Iran nothing left to police and nothing left to reclaim.

Now, you might be thinking, I don't get it.Like, what's the whole point of this?If missiles can still hit ships, no matter which lane they're in, what did building the corridor truly get us?Here's the answer.Before that corridor was revived, Iran controlled the shipping lane in three ways.Legally, they were the only party who could grant

passage through their sovereign territory.Physically, they owned the infrastructure that the ships had to use, so those are two.But once the U .S.and Oman built a working alternative that didn't need Iran's permissions or their infrastructure, the only thing that they had left at their disposal for leverage was force.Actual missiles, actual drones, and actual violence.

Which means we didn't build that corridor for a safe passage from Iran.We built the corridor to put them in a corner.Right, so sit back, quietly lose control forever, or pick up a weapon and prove to the entire world that you're monsters by attacking commercial ships in Oman's sovereign territory.
