Yeah, unfortunately, this is the Winning Strategy. I’ll explain. Iran has shown (contrary to what American political narrative would say) that it CAN fight. And not only that it can fight, but that it has escalation dominance in the fight. Which is fair, because it’s a defensive and home-turf advantage. America also knows that it doesn’t want the negative narrative of having a “puppet” state, therefore, it wants a country that is democratic and somewhat reasonable (to an objective mind) in negotiations and future dealings, business, etc. you can only achieve this by not having a hand in construction of the next government (so that the people negotiating for their side in the future can be deemed as fair and not “owned” and fairly representing the needs of their people in the negotiations). America knows when cost of living and food and necessities of life get unreasonably expensive for the society’s mean income, the Iranian society does not take it, and takes to the streets. America is trying to incite/engineer a grass root revolution (that brings about a democracy). Issue is that they haven’t done it many times and if they have succeeded before, it hasn’t been in a country like Iran). Anyways, the reason why this is the Winning Strategy, is that as long as Iran won’t initiate an attack (because it will only retaliate to US violence) and if the US is able to ease the oil pressure by getting some oil/gas through the Omani side, then America is able to sustain this current state and condition for a long time. Inevitably, as time goes to infinity, Iran’s government will keep getting smaller and weaker and more hated by its own people (than however “badly” they think “America” is). This will basically lead to Iran government holding on as long as its people let it choke them out (and starve and die) til they stop. Very unfortunate situation but Iran knows if it triggers and escalates, if it miscalculates, the whole oil/gas, and water, and electricity of the whole region is toast. It also knows that if it takes this route, and it fails, it will not leave anything behind for the remaining generations that would come. In essence, ruining God’s gift to that region’s peo

Since Trump claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is opened he should ask the US Navy to sail through and show the world that his words meant something. Even better if he was on board one of the ships even in a catering cart
