Isn't it true that the U.S. overseas military zones are gradually turning into warlord territories? CENTCOM claims they've cleared all the mines in the Strait of Hormuz and helped allies export 1 billion barrels of crude oil, but not a single drop of Iranian oil has been exported. Come on, even if you know nothing about the Middle East, does this make sense? Is there even one sentence here that holds up? Previously, the situation was basically this: Iran moved through the northern route during the day, Oman took the southern route at night, both sides turned off their transponders and let ships pass with a wink and a nod. Occasionally, tensions would rise, and they'd fire a few shots to show they had the capability to control the situation. But in the past six months, there’s been very little time when supply was completely cut off—otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough funds or resources to sustain the war. Now, with the midterm elections approaching, it’s just that Iran doesn’t want Trump to win. They’re trying to turn him into a lame duck and push the Republican Party out in the next presidential election, which would be relatively more favorable for Iran. In the end, as long as the U.S. tacitly allows Iran to maintain its privileges in the Middle East, especially in the Strait, or even stages an Afghanistan-style withdrawal, this whole thing will be over for good.
