Something doesn’t add up… 🤔
Before tensions boiled over, there was a quiet consensus among both pro-U.S. and pro-Iran military analysts regarding the Strait of Hormuz:
1️⃣ Iran can and will disrupt the Strait if directly attacked.
2️⃣ The U.S. Navy (despite being the most powerful on earth) would face a massive, costly nightmare trying to keep it open militarily without triggering a global economic shock.
So here is the million-dollar question:
Why would any U.S. administration—advised by the world’s most experienced military minds and backed by top-tier intelligence—willingly walk into a scenario where the immediate outcome is a logistical and economic disaster?
If you look at this through the lens of Game Theory, there are only two real answers:
🎲 Brinkmanship: It’s a global game of Chicken. The U.S. is betting that Iran’s fear of total regime collapse is greater than the U.S. fear of an oil crisis. You win by proving you are willing to crash the car.
