LOA nfwlwa (oc).–President Donald Trump said today tha if Iran continues to strike commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, he will react in kind by attacking Iran’s bridges and energy infrastructure. Trump knows that the IRGC betrayed the MOU signed into law by the Tehran-based mullah government June 12, obligating Tehran-based mullah government to begin a serious peace process, eventually leading to a new nuke deal that prevents Tehran from enriching uranium to weapons grade material. Trump was supposed to spend at least 60 days negotiating with the mullah based government to develop a plan to end the Feb. 28 Iran war, now in Week 8. Trump did nis best to negotiate in good faith but found Iran breacing the agreement.
After 12 consecutive nights of bombing sorties, no one really know the damage to Iran’s military infrastructure, thouh Pentagon officials claim the Pentagon has degraded Iran’s military. Trump finds himself battleing Iran with the conventional U.S. military while Iran used terrorist watfare tactics, only shooting drones and missiles at U.S. targets. Secretary of State Pete Hegseth asked the Senate Armed Served Committee yesterday for an additional $90 billlion in funding, after already spending $37 billion.. Democrats and Republicans alike wanted to know how the war was going to end, when the IRGC refuses to change its tackic using hybrid terrorist tactics at low cost to the Persian Nation. Pentagon continues to burn through.
Trump has no answer for how the current cash and weapons demands can continue at the same rate while Iran spend a small amount on drone and missile warfare. “The U.S. will hold Iran responsible in that the Houthis are a surrogate and/or proxy group of Iran, and major punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis themselves, should the rebels strike Saudi ships.Opening up another front with Houthis forces Trump to take immediate action on the Houthis, which, like Hamas and Hezbollah, get funded by Tehran. With more that 12% of and natural gas flow the Bab-e-Mandab Strait, Trump can’t afford to open up a new front when the IRGC controls the Hormuz Strait. Baffling through the war is why the EU and NATO haven’t lifted a finger to help Trump oust the IRGC from the Hormuz Strait. When it comes to the Bab-al-Mandab Strait it adds insult to injury trying to stop Houthi’s blockade on the Red Sea. Blocking the Hormuz Strait and Bab-e-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea/ Trump can’t bomb the IRGC and Houthis into submission, because terrorist tacts don’t respond to conventional warfare.
Trump finds himself in a sticky wicket, now battling two fronts in the Horumuz Strait and Ba-e=Mandab Strait, letting the IRGC and Houthis put a strangele hold on world oil and natural gas supplies. Crude oil jumped today to over $85 dollars a barel, p[utting the U.S. and world economices into jeopardy. Winning the Iran and now Houthi war is not optional, it endangers world oil supplies and prices, putting the IRGC and Houthis in charge of world oil markets. When Trump joined the war Feb. 28, he had no clue what Iran would do to the world economy. Trump does have much time to neutralized the Houothis and IRGC, or face Iran’s unending dominance of world oil markets. Trump must act dccisively now or endanger the U.S. and world economy.
