@aljazeeraenglish: Analyst Alexandru Hudisteanu warns that Iran’s overuse of Strait of Hormuz as leverage could transform the strategic chokepoint from a deterrence tool into an instrument of extortion, potentially turning the country into an international pariah.

Did you know that the first 3 letters from Sweden and Denmark combined together will give you Sweden And interestingly the remaining letters put together will give you Denmark

I disagree. Extortion is what built American wealth, and being the pariah state has allowed Israel to commit war crimes off of that wealth. I think Iran knows what they're doing.

US benefits from the closure of Hormuz and its US plan that Iran bombs the gas, petroleum and petrochemical infrastructure of the Middle East,which feeds china and the rest of Asia.UAE, Qatar,Kuwait all joined bricks and were aligned with China, but now the know no world order can protect them from US,so they will get back to Petro dollar,as China has no capacity to defend even Taiwan.Iran will get loans of over $300b,and partner with US to build its refineries and capacity,no more cheap crude for china, Iran will now sell market price, just like Venezuela. Gold is down as now countries require the dollar once again. Trump will set the pacific on fire if the supply chains fail to relocate. Mullahs and revolutionaries are still in power so instability is deliberate.Natanyahu is also still alive so this region including Red Sea could be on fire anytime🤣

For 47 years, many nations chose not to engage with Iran, yet they were never accused of “overplaying their hand.” Now, however, you have the audacity to claim that Iran will be seen as overplaying its hand. By whom, exactly? The West discovered the power of advanced weaponry and nuclear capabilities long ago and used that advantage to project power and influence across much of the world. So who is to say that Iran cannot use the means at its disposal to defend itself and protect its interests? Standards should be applied consistently, not selectively.
