The biggest chunk of its exports go to China through the strait, oil and otherwise.

What don't you understand, when gas goes to $7, countries will pipeline and everything else, oil from.iran and Caspian sea. 4$ is unsustainable. It will be like cocaine trafficking, countries would collapse with $7 gas, they're not going to do nothing, China would go to war with u.s. over that, let alone finance more pipelines.

This is like saying the u.s. can endure a great depression(what would happen) while Iran cannot sustain a recession, a self-sustained ideological hermit country.

The idea is total nonsense, the u.s. is already on the brink of total collapse without High oil prices.

Iran's economy is already bricked due to the sanctions. Their main source of survival was the oil, through exports (as income), and for sufficient government control and management of the land. Trump probably sees this as their last lifeline. If he cuts it off, then it's over, checkmate. The life quality will degrade significantly for the average Iranian. And the regime may still function for some time, but that will eventually lead to internal problems and instability. I think Trump is counting on this.

No, it's not. This is how America operates, a house of cards on trade. Hermit countries, look at N Korea, are self sustaining, Iran is a self sustaining economy, they're not u.s..

And from what I understand, Gulf oil will pass under the protection of the US navy. So the prices will go down.

If the u.s. can get ships through, why did they surender in the war they started, what is the reason you believe the u.s. stopped and is asking Israel to stop in Lebanon? Pre u.s. war, Iran didn't halt traffic.

Two sanctioned supertankers laden with Iranian crude have dropped anchor off Indian ports, marking what could be the first such cargoes to arrive in the country in nearly seven years, just as the US escalates efforts to curb Tehran’s exports.

In this episode of Judging Freedom, host Judge Andrew Napolitano and guest Scott Ritter discuss the current geopolitical situation in the Middle East, focusing on the U.S.-led conflict with Iran, the concept of a blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, and the political state of the Trump administration.

Key takeaways from the discussion:

Military Realities in Hormuz: Ritter argues that the U.S. does not control the Strait of Hormuz and cannot effectively block it without significant consequences. He suggests that a blockade would be an act of war, highly porous, and would likely lead to severe global economic instability, potentially causing energy prices to soar (7:54-12:35).

Critique of the U.S. Strategy: Ritter characterizes the ongoing conflict as a "war of choice" fought on behalf of Israel rather than for American national security interests. He claims the administration's goals of regime change and neutralizing Iranian capabilities have failed, noting that Iranian resilience has rendered current U.S. military tactics ineffective (3:54-8:28).

The Trump Brand and Politics: Much of the conversation shifts to a critique of Donald Trump, whom Ritter describes as a "malignant narcissist" prioritizing his own "brand" and ego over coherent foreign or defense policy. Ritter alleges that Vice President JD Vance was set up to fail in negotiations to preserve Trump's political standing (4:57-7:14, 14:31-16:46).

Faith and Morality: Ritter expresses strong disapproval of recent social media imagery posted by Trump, which depicts him in a Christ-like manner. He argues that this behavior mocks faith, violates the principle of separation of church and state, and highlights a lack of genuine moral or religious grounding (18:47-21:32, 29:55-30:23).

The Need for Peace: Emphasizing the message that "blessed are the peacemakers," Ritter reflects on the human cost of war. He advocates for a diplomatic approach, asserting that real strength lies in peace rather than the destructive cycle of violence that the current administration is pursuing (25:40-29:20).
