I spoke with Mario Nawfal on how Iran holds the Sword of Damocles over the Strait of Hormuz: "My bottom line is that geography will dominate. The Iranians have now displayed that they have a credible threat to shut things down. That means Iran holds the cards."

Joke of the Day, Trump Says Soon The Strait of Hormuz will be declared a U.S. Territory Good luck with that. Iran will BLOW UP EVERYTHING on the Hormuz before giving it up. This is more important than NUKES for Iran now.

"The hypocrisy is blindingly obvious." Trump says the joint U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran will "eliminate" the imminent threat of a nuclear bomb. But Iran does not have nuclear weapons. The only country in the Middle East that does is ... Israel.

TOTAL CONTROL: President Trump says the U.S. naval blockade is in full effect in the Strait of Hormuz and is "a wall of steel."

Despite Trump’s bragging about blocking the Strait of Hormuz, numerous Chinese tankers have sailed right through—without any consequences from the US. China says it has its own agreements with Iran, and that their tankers WON’T be touched. And so far, the US is letting China do what it wants. The reality: The US isn’t actually blockading anything. Trump’s talk about closing the strait is just projection—projecting that we’re winning when we’re not, and projecting that we’re not begging Iran to reopen the strait. The Trump administration doesn’t have a winning strategy, or even a basic strategy at all…

If the Iranian regime survives, they win. And the Iranian people and the rest of the world lose. I have a friend in the Middle East right now, and the consensus there is that Iran is winning. People in America hear that and say, “How? Their military is destroyed. Their navy is destroyed.” Here is how. Russia and China will help them rebuild. They will charge tariffs in the Strait of Hormuz and blackmail the world with oil prices. The only path forward is full regime change and freedom for the Iranian people.

In perhaps the biggest threat yet to a Middle East peace deal, both Iran and Bahrain are accusing each other of breaking the fragile ceasefire in the region. President Trump is now facing new questions about the state of peace talks with Iran, as the U.S. launched new strikes in the Middle East in retaliation to Iran striking a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Madeleine Rivera reports.
