The U.S. Is Not Prepared to Allow Iran's Revolutionary Guards to Win the War
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - President Trump has apparently had enough of the strange game being played by Iran. He has realized that the faction actually running things is the extremist camp led by the Revolutionary Guards. He has decided, therefore, to hit the IRGC and renew the blockade on Iranian ports. What we are seeing now is a war of attrition that is developing in a pattern that actually serves Israeli interests and prevents the removal of sanctions and the end of American military and diplomatic pressure on Iran. The U.S. is not prepared to allow senior IRGC officials to claim that they won the war because they acquired the Strait of Hormuz for themselves - a profitable economic asset and a global strategic lever.
