Major Davis of the U.S. Army Discusses Trump's Ultimatum on Opening the Strait of Hormuz
"President Trump has just issued an ultimatum to Iran. In response, Iran threatened to attack the energy, oil, and desalination infrastructure of the United States and its allies. Regardless, Iran will never open the strait, and in fact has stated that it will close it even tighter.
He lifted sanctions on Iranian oil while simultaneously lifting sanctions on Russian oil exports, desperately trying to keep the oil price below $100 per barrel. These series of actions are irrational, contradictory, and ultimately self-destructive, with no strategic value; none of these approaches can lead to a dignified end to this war."
