Trump claims the U.S. will not leave the Strait of Hormuz



His move is purely a classic fox playing big-picture + gangster tactics in action

To put it plainly, this guy is a combination of playing both sides + mouthpiece hype + hegemonic bullying—full of tricks, with not a single honest word!

1. Stubbornly sticking to the Strait of Hormuz: the boss grabs the cake, pretending to "protect global interests"

Trump clings to the Strait of Hormuz and refuses to let go, in essence saying: I must control the global energy lifeline, no one else can touch my cake.
He shouts "won't leave, blockade is super strong," but in reality, he's holding Iran's vital interests hostage: afraid to fight a big war and get stuck in a quagmire, backing down from military action and losing face, implementing a blockade—this is a perfect gangster move—no casualties, no huge expenses, yet squeezing Iran's economy to death, while showing the world: I control this sea area, the oil lifeline is mine, if you don’t agree, tough luck!

2. Boasting that the blockade is effective + post-war oil prices plummeting: pure big-picture bluff to fool fools

Everyone knows that now, this blockade has caused oil prices to soar, U.S. domestic inflation is screaming, and ordinary people are complaining loudly.
Trump, on the other hand, confidently claims "the blockade is super effective, post-war prices have plummeted," which is just blatant nonsense.
The core purpose is one: shift the blame to war, paint a picture for voters of "good days are coming soon," to stabilize morale; at the same time, feed Wall Street reassurance, telling capital markets not to panic, I can control the situation, U.S. stocks will keep rising, everyone follow me and make money #美伊谈判破裂,特朗普封锁霍尔木兹 $ETH
