Iran Is Never Going to Stop Shutting Down the Strait of Hormuz

Iran maintains dominance over the Strait of Hormuz, leveraging it as a strategic card in political negotiations. Their ongoing actions reflect a persistent intent to control this crucial maritime passage.

● Iran is dissatisfied despite financial gains from oil and sanctions relief, trying to impose tolls for access to the Strait of Hormuz while attacking passing ships.

● The Trump administration has authorized military strikes against Iranian drones and missiles in response to these actions.

● J. D. Vance's proposal for a 'deconfliction' program between the U. S. military and Iran's IRGC has proven ineffective.

● Negotiating with terrorist organizations like Iran only reinforces their behavior and demonstrates that terrorism can achieve results.

● The ongoing negotiations aim to deter Iran’s threats but many believe they will not lead to a sustainable solution.

● A quote from Kipling underscores the futility of paying off aggressors, suggesting that concessions lead to continued demands

The situation emphasizes the challenges of negotiating with Iran, as yielding to their tactics may perpetuate their aggressive behavior instead of resolving underlying issues.
