Donald Trump has again said that the US has “total control over the strait of Hormuz”, adding that Iran’s leadership was so hobbled by infighting that it was unclear who was in charge.
But the US president’s claim seemed questionable in the face of the seizure of two container ships by Iranian commandos and a US report warning it could take six months to clear the strait of mines.
For all those keeping track at home, that say “who cares that Trump made some cash on the side”, remember that the Iranians are playing along to this game. They’re profiting off of this chaos too and only the regular people are getting screwed.
