Over the course of the last few days, the world’s eyes have been fixed on the Strait of Hormuz. The United States has declared it open for business, while recent reports indicate Iran has instructed its Houthi allies to intervene if U.S. strikes hit Iran’s infrastructure.
Iran’s concerns that it may be further weakened by U.S. strikes aren’t unfounded. For the last week since the collapse of the ceasefire, the United States has continued its military strikes on Iran. President Donald Trump declared, “The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks.’We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!” Last Friday, he notified Congress of the resumption of U.S. military operations against Iran.
