... written on May 10 2026As Iran continues to weaponize the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump has to do something about it. Packing and leaving the war half done is not an option. Trump’s desire to end the Iran War is being interpreted by Tehran as a weakness, even though Iran is indeed hurting badly. One million Iranians have lost their […]
... written on May 05 2026As Iran started its bold game of cat and mouse with the United States, the MV Touska became the first casualty after the Iranian cargo ship tried – and failed – to breach the U.S. blockade. The U.S. made good on its threat to board and seize any vessel defying its blockade of Iran’s ports […]
... written on Apr 20 2026Some 20 ships lining up to cross the Strait of Hormuz were waiting anxiously and desperately to get out of the “strait of hell”, as some crews called it.
