Iran's Hormuz Control Gives It Strategic Leverage
As long as Iran still controls the strait of Hormuz, we’re gonna have issues. That’s really the bottom line here. By realizing it can control the strait (at least so far) Iran has gained strategic leverage relative to the outset...
Markets Underestimate Full‑scale US‑Iran Energy Conflict
Trump just gave Iran 24 hours. Reopen Hormuz. Or face strikes on power facilities. Iran's response: We'll hit every US energy and desalination plant in the Gulf. $SPY is not pricing a full energy war. It should be. https://t.co/wOxm8bXbEC
US Strikes Cripple Iran; Strait Safe, Democrats Skeptical
We’ve cleaned out Iran’s nukes and drone factories, and gutted their navy. If the Strait reopens without a single U.S. naval casualty… will every Dem here finally admit @PeteHegseth is doing a good job… or just gaslight us again? https://t.co/8Fpfnm7TNh

U.S. ground troops on Kharg Island? “I just think that would be a disaster,” @joekent16jan19 said. “It would essentially be giving Iran a bunch of hostages on an island that they could barrage with drones and missiles.”
Why the “Never Take
This is why I don't like the "never take anything off the table" chestnut. It was dumb with Hillary said it about nuclear weapons in Afghanistan; it's dumb now. (And no, I don't think he means it.)

Escalation Risks Iran Mining Hormuz, Deepening Humanitarian Crisis
At what point does this escalation by Trump-Netanyahu actually prompt Iran to mine the Straight of Hormuz... with these ships on it?! Then this humanitarian crisis goes from lock-down to existential pretty quickly.
Trump Uses Iran Grid Threat to Bait NATO
Is Trump’s threat to destroy Iran's power grid a gambit to pull NATO and Europe into the Strait of Hormuz? It’s a smart leverage point, given that Europe and Turkey are the ones most vulnerable to a new refugee crisis.

Capturing Kharg Island Won’t Halt Iran’s Oil Flow
KHARG ISLAND — a thread: Trump has talked about taking Iran's Kharg Island for 40 years. The problem? Capturing it won't shut down Iran’s entire oil export system. And thus it won't lead to Hormuz re-opening fast enough. 🧵1/10 @Opinion FREE-TO-READ: https://t.co/ZOYtq3KESE https://t.co/xtLBqPShB6
