Sydney-Middle East Times Int'l: The United States has taken Iran's greatest weapon and turned it into a wedge, a wedge driven right between Iran and China. Iran would love nothing more than to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a direct confrontation between the United States and China. But here is exactly where America turned the tables.
And this is critical to understand. The Strait of Hormuz is not close to all shipping. There is only one restriction.
A ship cannot load oil from Iranian ports. That is it. A Chinese tanker can take oil from the UAE.
It can take oil from Saudi Arabia. It can take oil from anywhere else in the Gulf. It just cannot take oil from Iran, and that is the brilliance of the strategy. because China is still functioning. Even though the strait is closed to Iranian shipping. China is able to survive. China is still getting its oil.
And that is exactly the trap that has been set, because if Iran gets desperate, if Iran closes the strait completely, and threatens all shipping, who do they hurt first? Not America, not Europe. They hurt China, directly, immediately. 70% of China's oil comes from the Middle East and the Gulf. 70%. So now China has a choice. It is either going to pressure Iran to back down, or it is going to turn to the United States to reopen the route.
That is the trap, and President Trump's team built it perfectly. Now, let me explain something that most people do not understand. Oil wells are not forced. You cannot just turn them on and off like the faucet in your sink. Once an oil well is operational, it just keeps flowing. In order to stop production and cap that well, the pressure inside drops.
Fluids build up. The infrastructure degrades. Sometimes you cannot even restart that well. No matter what you do, you will never get the same output again. Ever. This is economic suffocation of the Iranian terror regime.
Slow, steady, and absolutely relentless. And while all of this suffocation is taking place right now, because Iran cannot get rid of its oil, and its storehouses are overflowing, the negotiations are ongoing. So what do we see unfolding in front of us right now? More American assets are moving into the region, carrier groups, the bush carrier group, amphibious forces, massive logistical buildup continuing into the Middle East. Diplomacy and force running at the exact same time. And there are numerous reports of hundreds of flights taking place over Iranian airspace. Most likely mapping exactly what a ground invasion would face. Because if a ground operation ever becomes necessary, there will be massive aerial support before a single American troop hits that soil. This is American power.
This is American strategy, executed at the highest level.
