Svmuu News: According to The New York Times, prior to the start of military strikes against Iran, Donald Trump, and his advisors downplayed the impact of Iran launching an economic war through the Strait of Hormuz, believing that oil prices would rise temporarily before falling back. Now, the severity of this miscalculation has been laid bare in recent days. Donald Trump After government officials briefed lawmakers behind closed doors on Tuesday, Connecticut Democratic Senator Christopher S. Murphy stated on social media that the administration had “no plan” for the Strait of Hormuz and “does not know how to safely reopen” it. According to the newspaper’s interviews, some officials within the U.S. government are pessimistic due to the lack of a clear strategy to end the war. However, they have been careful to avoid expressing this directly to the president, as Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the military operation has been a complete success. (Jin Shi)
