Bessent on the Strait of Hormuz:

The strait is never going back to the way it was because the Iranians have used, or tried to use it, as a choke point.

What we are going to see over the next two years, the strait is going to become irrelevant.

It is going to become just… pic.twitter.com/LP8evMbeJP

The "fantasy" is already happening. The world is now highly motivated to reduce its dependence on Hormuz. Saudi Arabia and the UAE already have bypass pipelines.

The East-West Pipeline from Abqaiq in the Eastern Province to Yanbu on the Red Sea coast has been around since the 1980's

This is nothing new.

Can you tell me why only 8 SHIPS PASSED THRU THE STRAIT in one week, when Trump said we have "total control" of it?

https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-us-donald-trump-strait-hormuz-traffic-falls-houthis-kill-red-sea/

---

Because we don't have total control of it. Neither does Iran, despite the fact that they make similar claims.

Attempts to diminish the idiocy of Trump by comparing him to the regime controlling Iran is not a strong argument.

The topic is "Operation Epic Furry Energy Crisis Thread."

Neither Iran nor the US control the Straight. Every thread need not be venting about everything our president says and does. Doesn't it get old?

The "short-excursion" into Iran is getting old after nearly 6-months, wouldn't you agree?

---

I hope we can either defeat them or end the war on acceptable terms. I certainly prefer us not being at war with Iran.

Iran doesn't control the Strait?

Then why did only 8 ships pass thru in the last week, a record weekly low?

---

No, they don't control the Strait and only 8 ships on record passing thru last week is not "proof" that they do.

As I recall, youre already on record saying that on a Scale of 1 - 10, the man that you defend 24/7 here is only at a "5" when it comes to achieving his objectives in Iran.

That's not a great vote of confidence.

---

Yes, the US has not achieved its objectives in the War with Iran. That's kind of why it is ongoing.
