Trump ist bereit, den Krieg zu beenden, ohne Hormuz wieder zu öffnen. Das Weiße Haus listete vier Kriegsziele auf; Die Meerenge gehört nicht dazu.

SS: The Wall Street Journal reported on 30 March, citing administration officials, that Trump has told aides he would end the military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed because reopening it would push the conflict past his four-to-six week timeline.

White House press secretary Leavitt listed four core objectives on the record the same day: destroy the navy, dismantle missile and drone infrastructure, weaken proxies, prevent nuclear acquisition. Hormuz is absent. Hours earlier, Rubio told Al Jazeera the strait „will be open when this operation is over, one way or another.“

The Times of Israel flagged the discrepancy. The article analyses what this separation means for oil markets, the IRGC toll corridor, and Gulf allies who have made Hormuz security an explicit war termination condition.

So, we ended up getting the worst of all in the end?

Iran getting more radicalised.

Iran exerting more control over the Hormuz strait and monetising it.

Distrust and tensions to prevail among GCC states.

Proxy war to continue.

This is the problem when people with cognitive ability of a reddit armchair expert with no real world experience and educated on Western propaganda ends up on the most powerful seat in the world and declare war on state in the middle of negotiations. They seriously thought this was another Venezuela, didn’t they?

No matter how much wars they lose in the Global South. US has to understand countries in the global South are the ones whose indigenous population fought invasions and colonialism for centuries without wiping themselves out, unlike countries whose indigenous population was replaced by the settlers.
