He says other nations will have to guard and police the Strait of Hormuz as necessary, after his attacks on the country prompted Iran to target vessels in the crucial world shipping lane. Mark Stone analyses the Truth Social post.

    Operation Epstein’s Fury ends when Israel says it ends. Which it won’t. Even when it ends Israel will reach across the border regularly on some pretext or another.

    This is just the president trying to get everyone else to help secure the straits for oil shipments, threatening to walk away.

    Trump expects the world to go to war with Iran. What will actually happen is that the world will re-establish diplomacy with Iran and offer sanctions relief to end the blockade.

    Without war reparations, American ships will forever be barred from sailing the strait, and Gulf states will likely start distancing themselves from the US and re-assess hosting American bases and troops.

    Trump’s victory looks an awful lot like a strategic defeat that sees the US pull out of the Middle East and leave Iran in a more powerful position then before.

    It did achieve the intended distraction from Trump’s Epstein issues quite well though, they’ve been off the press radar since this began.

    So running away and leaving the mess for his victims to clean up. Much like he probably did to the children he raped.

    It’s not the Strait of Hormuz crisis, it’s Trump’s Middle East Epstein Distraction War. Not to be confused with Trump’s South American Epstein Distraction War.
