The shipping industry is building new ships to replace the ones trapped in the gulf. Clearly they don't expect the strait to open any time in near future.
I don't think the analysis of the last guest is correct. Iran is escalating because it cannot trust the US. It needs the US in a situation where it is forced to give up real and lasting concessions. The US will fight this kicking and screaming, but that is what it takes to deal with a petulant irrational child, and I'm not just talking about Trump. A lot of American hawks wanted this. Well, now they have it
Nothing is going to affect Donald. He's completely isolated from the real world.
When are supposedly intelligent people going to stop trying to rationalize what Trump does or says?
The times keep reporting this as if trump is rational !! He is not !! please report this as it is !! the raw panic of a old , mentally disturbed ignorant cretin who has bitten off more tha he can chew and is lashing out !! And the major players acting in bad faith over and over again are the Americans and Israel !! Iran have won this war !! The second guest knows this but wont say it !!
8:08 This guest is hitting the nail on the head..Trump isn't a politician, he's an emotionally and mentally unstable person with political power.
Other guests and hosts on other news shows try to get some sense of how Trump is thinking strategically. There is no strategy to Trump. You might as well try to analyze a raccoon with distemper gnashing it's teeth at the sun.
Iran indeed has won the war, but isn't over playing its hand, indeed, the degree in their restraint is remarkable. Trump is snookered and has few options, with an ignominious retreat confronting him. Iran can further escalate in a way not open to Trump. Trump is terrified of a ground invasion. Iran in contrast can engage in gray zone escalation, like blocking the Red Sea or cutting undersea fibre optics or simply blocking Hormuz. Trump's rage is a measure of his impotency.
Why is this host/journalist taking the 20% toll as a serious option? The man is demented. Start covering it as a mental health issue.
