LOS ANGELES (OC).–Trump joined Israel’s war with Iran Feb. 28, believing he had unfinished business from the bombing of Iran’s underground nuclear sites last year. But as the war went on, Trump realized that Iran was attempting to hijack the world’s petroleum and natural gas sector, creating shortages and runaway inflation. So, as thw war dragged on, now in its sith month, Iran was doing more damage toe the U.S. and world economis, realizing that Iran’s real diabolical aim was controlling world oil markets. Democrats and the fake news like to say that Trump has no objectives or goals in the Iran War, when, in fact, he must win the war of face the very real prospects of Iran controlling global gnergy markets. Democrats and fake news argue that if Trump didn’t join Israeli’s war, Iran would not have shut the Strait of Hormuz, literally firing dornes and missiles at commercial ships.
Democrats and fake news said Trump changed his mind about the aim of the Iran War, first saying he tried to neutralize Iran’s nuke program and next, once the IRGC shut down the Hormuz Strait, to do what was necessary to reopen the global waterway. Iran’s IRGC thanks they have a sovereign right to shut down the Hormuz Strait and charge whatever they want for commercial ships to transit the waterway. Trump’s position has the Hormuz Strait has a legitimate interenation waterway with no none country control tranisit or setting up a system of fees for passge. So, when it comes to prosecuting the war, Trump has no choice for U.S. foreign policy and national security to stop Iran’s attempt to declare sovereignty over the Strait. Trump wants Iran to open up; the Hormuz Strait, allowing commercial ships, largely fdrom the Persian Gulf, to tranit the global waterway.
Trump established his naval blockade of all Iranian ports, after agreeing only a few weeks ago with ending the blockade, allowing iran to sell its petroleum and natural gas into world markets. Once Iran entered into the MOJ with the United States, Trump expected Iran to abide its conitions, including stop its aggression on commercial shipping. But Trump never acknowleged that the Tehran-based mullah govern,ent no long controls the country, allowing the IRC to do whatevers necessary to maintain power. IRGC officials know that apart from drones and ballistic missiles, they have not army or navy to defend the country only firing missiles at unarmed ships and countries. Without U.S. air defenses from the U.S., the Arab Gulf States would be domainated by Iran. Iran has shown the world that it’s thw world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
Iran wants thw world to know that it can hold off the U.S. military, holding its own with drone and missile attacks. But with the latest waves of attacks on various military installations in the Stait of Hormuz, Trump is well jon its way of finally neutralizing the IRGC. It’s only a matter of time before the IRGC loses enough of its terrorist infrastructure, including the fleet of swift boats that routinely strike defenseless commercial vessels trying to transit the Hormuz Strait. Trump knows that the IRGC has threatened his life with recent assassination attemps, prompting Trump to give orders on Iran if they succeed. Trump warned Iran that if the Hormuz Strait is not opened up in short order, her would order the Pentagon to start straking Iran’s bridges and energy infrastructure. Whether IRGC officials are bluffing or not, they’ve pushed Trump to escalate the war.
Iran’s IRGC tells says under no circumstances will it surrender sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, knowing that if can’t practice terrorism on the high seas then it has no real power at all. Fighting for its survival, the IRGC has done more harm to Iran than any one entity, including the Tehran-based radical mullah government. Killing up tu 100,000 Iranian protesters in the last six year. With a regime ready and willing to snuff out its youthful population, what more needs to be said for the IRGC? Iran’s regime is a ruthless totalitarian regime worthy in many ways to Mao Zedong’s or Stalin’s purges in the past. Trump war with Iran now is more that about old ideologies, it’s about not letting one regime control the world’s energy infrastructure and global oil prices. Trump can’t negotiate away the Iran seeks nothing less than global economic hegemony.
Whatever the initial aims of the Iran War, they’ve been clarified now, to stopping Iran’s domination on global energy markets. Whether it’s 20% of the world’s oil supply or not, it’s enough to cause widespread shortanges and skyrocketing prices, enough to cause global inflation and shortages. Trump no longer has the luxury of waitng out the IRGC while would energy markets gyrate and U.S. inflation kicks up. Democrats and fake news say there’s no reason for the war but clearly Iran seeks worldwide energy domination. Trump must move quickly with the U.S. military to neutralize the IRGC, open up the Hormuz Strait and deal, at a later time, with Iran’s 1,000 60% stockpile of enriched uranium. Everyone knew that Iran was the world’d biggest state sponsor of terrorism but no one knew it would attempt to dominate world energy markets toj control the world economy.
