Says who?
Not a single US ship has DARED to come anywhere CLOSE to the strait before the ceasefire. The only way to "open" the strait is by invading and taking control over the ENTIRE Iranian coast line. And then you still have the problem of drones and missiles raining down on you and any ship within the strait.
Are you seriously drinking Trumps kool-aid?
Newsweek reported that China and India paid about $2 million per ship for passage.
The US hasn't entered because of the mines, not because they fear the IRG in rubber rafts. It's good by the IRG for now, but they will get invaded like Trump said in the last sentence of the tweet.
If this goes as Trump says China will be very happy. I don't understand the fear mongering, if we have to worry about China everytime we do anything then they already control us.
Of course. That's why the carrier groups were positioned at max range.
That's completely false. Generals always try to fight the last war. That being said, this war is not over until the SoH is actually open, which it obviously is not.
Further, the lack of inbound tankers is only now starting to hit other regions. The spike in prices at the pump has so far been price gouging, the actual cost increase hasn't hit yet. After the shortage of supply hits, it still has to go through refining and distribution. This wouldn't be a quick fix even if the Strait magically returned to normal in an instant.
