Dr. Suzanne Maloney breaks down why neither side can afford to let this drag on. If Iran locks in gains and Trump locks in a win, they both walk.

🇮🇷 The IRGC says fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on Washington accepting Iran’s conditions and is separate from Tehran’s negotiations with Oman, spokesman Gen. Hossein Mohebbi said, according to Tasnim News. “For us, the Strait of Hormuz is not just an economic waterway; it is a geographical and strategic component of our power,” Mohebbi said. He said the U.S. must fully accept Iran’s conditions and stop interfering in regional negotiations, adding: “Whenever the United States accepts Iran’s conditions, the Strait of Hormuz will certainly be reopened.”

The US and Israel’s war with Iran has fundamentally reshaped the Middle East. Iran’s old guard is gone, America’s alliances with Israel and the Gulf Arab states are being tested and the Strait of Hormuz has become one of Iran’s most potent weapons of war. At Aspen Ideas, I sat down with Karim Sadjadpour, Kim Ghattas and Mark Dubowitz to discuss these shifting dynamics.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Dr. Suzanne Maloney says this war was never about strategy; it was about Trump's legacy, and that gives Iran enormous leverage. "He can't have a war that ends with Iran in control of the strait and with some capacity of highly enriched uranium that could lead them to a quick breakout to nuclear weapons capability." If Iran won't give Trump his season finale, nobody wins. Suzanne Maloney

Dear MAGA Friends & family; In retaliation to the unprevoked MAGA Republican attack on Iran. Iran’s parliament, has approved shutting down the strait of Hormuz. This will increase the price of oil and we will all feel it at the gas pumps. Is this what you voted for?

Trump declares the US is going to steal the Strait of Hormuz: “We hit Iran very hard last night…We are going to keep the Strait. We will run it. We will become the guardian of the strait.” This war, like all US wars, was always about looting and controlling Iran’s resources.
