Trump wrote tonight: "To all those countries that cannot obtain aviation fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz—such as Britain, which refused to join in destroying Iran—I have a suggestion: First, buy from the United States—we have ample oil; second, muster your courage and go to the Strait of Hormuz, take it over yourselves. You must start learning to stand on your own feet—America won’t help you anymore, just as you didn’t help us back then. Iran has basically been destroyed. The hardest part is already behind us. Go mine your own oil! President Trump."
Comments: The Strait of Hormuz has always been open. It was Trump’s war provocations that caused the blockade and disrupted global energy supply. Now, lacking both the military capability to forcibly reopen the strait and the willingness to bear the cost of full-scale conflict, he boldly claims Iran has been destroyed, shifts blame onto allies who refuse to fight, and incites other nations to risk their lives to reopen the strait—all while pushing American oil. Unable to fix the mess he created, he resorts to provocation and scapegoating to cover up strategic failure. This is not only absurd but also dangerously reckless, forcing the entire world to pay for American hegemony.
