Uh so the administration is now pushing voice-verified

Towards they're claiming uh bigger and bolder economic warfare, which is likely just going to be secondary sanctions because we've already sanctioned the hell out of Iran. voice-verified

Um they're also claiming that there's now more boats going through the omen side. voice-verified

Um however, compared to the straits just being open, it's not a s it's not a real increase. voice-verified

It's an increase against the zero ships going through. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

Uh you do have a couple Iranian hardliners. voice-verified

Who are now saying, hey, listen, the whole world uh is kind of on our side here. voice-verified

Let's not go on the offensive. voice-verified

Let's actually strike a deal and be done with the war. voice-verified

Uh my read on the situation is uh America is gonna threaten other countries that they have to basically partake in the sanctions and try and isolate Iran. voice-verified

As we saw in Russia, China was unwilling to do that, uh, as was Turkey when we started uh, you know, the Ukraine war against Russia. voice-verified

So I don't really know if this plan is gonna work. voice-verified

Uh it does seem like we're trying to actually put more pressure on Iran to almost go on the offensive so that maybe we have an excuse to engage in the war crimes uh Donald Trump's been trying to do for a while, so that uh he could actually, you know, seemingly win the war and justify engaging in war crimes. voice-verified

Um, but uh I I I I don't know what w what the cracking point is Iran, uh, in terms of like uh the economic hardships that they're in. voice-verified

I venture to guess that. voice-verified

It's a zero-sum game of just that the regime has to remain in place. voice-verified

And even if the regime falls, then they can still keep the straights closed. voice-verified

So I don't really see uh, you know, I don't really see toppling the regime being the end of the situation that we're in, nor do I think that they're gonna crack first. voice-verified

But uh Donald Trump is ramping up the economic pressure, and that does seem to have Iran debating whether or not that means they want to go on the offensive now to bring this back to actual warfare or come. voice-verified
