Is Trump About To Fall Into Iran’s Trap?
Iran is trying to lure the U.S. into a ground war, knowing prolonged involvement could force Washington into a more favorable deal for Tehran. The Houthis’ escalation is meant to trigger U.S. military intervention by endangering global oil flows. Dual chokepoint disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb could cripple up to ~45% of global oil supply, potentially sending prices toward $150–$200+ and pressuring the global economy.
About to? Well, first he still does have to actually get the Jarheads through the straight before they can even make the attempt to take the island. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of tankers loaded with Oil floating around in the Gulf. All the Iranians need to do is sink a couple, then set the oil slick on fire. This I suspect is what they mean by setting the troops on fire.
