The Battle for the Strait of Hormuz
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - Iran is blocking the Strait of Hormuz to pressure President Trump to end the war prematurely, establishing an Iranian veto on energy flows and winning impunity in the future. Asked Sunday about the political cost of rising oil and gas prices, Mr. Trump replied, 'I have to do what's right. I can't say that, 'Gee, I don't want to have any impact on oil prices for three or four weeks, or two months, and we're going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'" Armed with missiles and drones, Iran's regime has closed international waters and attacked neighbors' energy facilities. This is while Iran is relatively weak. Imagine how the regime would blackmail the world - and get away with it - if it were left to amass twice or three times the missiles, or nuclear weapons. Iran is giving Trump and Israel a reason to keep weakening the regime.
