Summary
If he were able to impose the protection racket he has outlined (which would inevitably involve doing what the US has so far been unable to do and wiping out Iran’s ability to threaten shipping), it would have a significantly negative impact on oil prices and the global economy (and consequently US gasoline, diesel and fertiliser prices and the US inflation rate). The US announced a new round of strikes on Iran on Monday, hours after President Donald Trump said that the United States is ' reinstating' a blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz . 'At 4:45 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, at the Commander in Chief's direction,' CENTCOM said in a statement.' 'These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.' Iran has insisted it controls the critical waterway, as another exchange of fire threatened a return to all-out war.
Furthermore, Trump’s absurd and illegal plan will backfire on him. The US dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, held at 101.29, trading around its highest levels of the month. The volatility for the memory chipmaker comes after a dramatic plunge a day earlier following its Nasdaq debut last week.
In addition, Trump said earlier on Monday that the US wanted to control the Strait of Hormuz, receiving 20% of the value of transported cargo as compensation for ensuring safe navigation there. Trump separately suggested the United States will charge other ships for safe passage, upending hundreds of years of American policy supporting freedom of navigation across the globe. The United States protects all Arab countries of the Persian Gulf and expects to be reimbursed for ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump said.
Moreover, "Forces struck Iranian military air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats using U.S. fighter aircraft, naval vessels, one-way attack aerial drones, and one-way attack sea drones for the first time," CENTCOM said in a statement.
The same facts are framed differently: Left — “regime”, “illegal”, “racket” ; Right — “regime”.
