It’s a complete illusion that the US can control this strait. It could destabilize it further if it wishes, but there is no getting a ship through without Iran’s cooperation.
Because Iran has a ton of land along the straight from which they can launch missles, drones, rockets, or even artillery at passing ships. There’s a huge region where they can attack the strait, and the US can’t put hundreds of thousands of troops on that land to hold it all. Therefore Trump cannot declare the strait open, though he can declare the strait closed (this just hurts him most of all).
All his bullshit about floating ships at one end to “gate” the passage, and escorting ships, and shooting down rockets…. It’s complete bluster. Even with the entire US military he cannot guarantee safe passage. And that’s just one of the things he has to do if this war continues. He also has to try to defend our allies in the Gulf and elsewhere.
He doesn’t understand the concept of ‘allies’. I thought this was clear by now.
The US is currently directing the gulf states towards China and Iran as the former has large influence on the latter which claims to attack mainly due to the gulf states being ‘allies’ to the US… which seems to be a worthless titel nowadays.
Even if this were actually going to happen, what is he doing? Renting out the US Navy for profit?
Sure maybe a few servicemen may die but at least America will get some money!
I mean, it’s a part of government that hasn’t been privatized. Imagine if the Armed Forces turned a profit and had a market mandate? Works really well for the prison system! /s
the whole point of the us armed forces is to secure profits
Can’t wait to have us marine open fire at sea on civilian vessels
They’ve been doing that in the Caribbean for well over a year.
They have been doing that at the Arabian Sea for months too. They already bragged about killing some Indian civilians on twitter…
Absolute insanity.
This is extortion, therefore an act of war against all nations dependent on shipments from and to Hormuz.
What do you think the lloyds of london were doing for decades?
We are charging 1/5th the cost of everything through the straight, eh? That just seems like yet another illegal tariff just to appease the mal formed ego of our worst president.
So on top of all his other crimes and criminal activity - now trump’s a pirate.
What will happen? They will kill you, that’s what will happen.
It’s not speculations, they did it already: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/15/indian-outrage-over-us-killing-of-sailors-mounts-as-leaders-attend-g7-summit

What about fines for creating and then mismanaging the problem. And then creating the problem again, and mismanaging it again. And again, the art of the deal or how I don’t pay any attention to reality or what I did yesterday.
History ‘s clown.
