After all, the fragile two-week cease-fire ends on April 21. But while the threat of resuming combat operations may be invoked in coming days, it not a particularly viable political choice for Mr. Trump — and the Iranians know it.
An excerpt from an analysis of the U.S. president’s genius published yesterday on lewrockwell.com in the article: Loser Tries Setting “Terms”.
The goal of the war was not to open the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade is a consequence of that war and the most effective means of pressure against the U.S. Trump, however, does not allow himself to be blackmailed by anyone—except his best friend from Tel Aviv. To open up this strait, he has therefore ordered a complete blockade to punish those countries that have reached an agreement with Iran. How can something like this be accomplished? Ships traveling through this strait toward the Indian Ocean enter the Gulf of Oman.
Such a blockade would require the deployment of a large number of warships. Naturally, these ships are equipped with radar systems that provide early warning of an approaching tanker. However, the situation becomes considerably more complicated if the tanker is accompanied by a warship whose mission is to prevent piracy. A similar situation occurred recently in the North Sea, where a British cruiser approached a Russian tanker at close range and immediately turned back when it was met by a Russian destroyer.
Such security measures drive up transportation costs. That’s why I had an original idea—I don’t know if it’s realistic, but it’s definitely funny. What’s stopping us from equipping a tanker with a torpedo system? I know tankers are used to transport oil. Technically, though, it’s not impossible, and the look on a pirate captain’s face on a sunken ship would be a valuable addition to internet memes. The downside of such a solution: you can only use it once.
