The United States has taken Iran's greatest weapon, and it's turned it into a wedge between Iran and China. Iran would love to turn Hormuz into a confrontation between the United States and China. But here's where the US has turned the tables. And this is critical to understand.
The Straits of Hormuz, they're not closed to all shipping. There's only one restriction. A ship cannot load oil from Iranian ports. That's it. A Chinese tanker can take oil from the UAE. It can take oil from Saudi Arabia.
It can take oil from anywhere else in the Gulf. It just can't take oil from Iran. Now that's the brilliance of the strategy because China is still functioning even though the Straits of Hormuz is closed to Iranian shipping. Meaning China's able to survive. If Iran closes the Straits of Iran completely and they threaten all shipping, they
don't hurt America first. They don't even hit Europe first. They hurt China. 70% of China's oil comes from the Middle East and the Gulf. And now China has a choice. It's either going to pressure Iran to back down, or it's going to turn to the United States to reopen the route. That's the trap.
Now, let me explain something that most people don't understand, and I didn't understand it before looking into this clearly either. Oil wells are not faucets. You can't just turn them on and off like the faucet in your sink. Once an oil well is operational, it just keeps flowing. In order to stop production of an oil well and cap it, the pressure to the oil well drops, fluids build up in that well, the infrastructure degrades, sometimes you
can't even restart that well. No matter what you do, you'll never get the same output. This is economic suffocation of the Iranian terror regime over time. And while all this is happening, while all of this suffocation is taking place right now,
because Iran cannot get rid of its oil and its storehouses are overflowing, the negotiations are ongoing. So what do we see is unfolding in front of us? More assets from the United States are moving into the region. Carrier groups like the Bush carrier group, amphibious forces, and massive logistical
buildup is continuing into the Middle East. Diplomacy and force. And they're running at the exact same time. In fact, there are numerous reports that there are hundreds of flights taking place
over Iranian airspace, most likely looking for what a ground invasion will face, because if a ground invasion was to take place, there will be massive, massive aerial support there will be massive, massive aerial support before US troops hit that soil.
