I wonder if DJT has ever looked at how to get to the endgame in Iran or what price he has to pay to get there. Oil flow has been significantly reduced as Iran threatens to sink any ships that carry fuel through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing the price of oil to increase dramatically. America has suggested using its firepower to keep it open. I assume this will be from aircraft and their warships, but I doubt they will be foolish enough to use ships in the Straits directly. And if the war goes on for any length of time, there will be fuel shortages leading to stock markets tumbling. Oil is not just used for converting to petrol; there are many other crucial by-products that are made from it. Aviation fuel, Gasoline, Plastics, Helium, to name just a few.
DJT has stated that he will not send ground troops into Iran but is relying on the Iranian people to remove the existing regime. This is a regime that is brutal in the way it stifles anyone who tries to show independence, and they know that if they lose this war, they will become marked men with nowhere to go. hated by their own people and with only a few countries willing to accept them as refugees.
Just imagine if the Iranians sink an American ship that is acting as protection through the Straits for oil tankers. Dare I mention retaliation in the form of an A bomb? Oh, I just did.
So will the Iranians lay down their weapons? Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas.
