Larry Johnson & Col. Wilkerson: Iran Just FULLY Opened the Strait of Hormuz – It’s OVER for Trump
from Dialogue Works
Breaking: Iran declares Strait of Hormuz open for commercial vessels during ceasefire, yet US simultaneously escalates sanctions on Iran, China, and Russia. Experts analyze contradictory signals from Washington, ongoing Israeli operations in Lebanon despite ceasefire claims, and real economic impacts—oil spot prices spiking to $210/barrel vs $95 futures. Discussion covers advanced Chinese drone technology and satellite intelligence shared with Iran, US military procurement challenges with costly drones being vulnerable, and the accelerating global power shift eastward. Historical perspective on decades of contradictory US policy in the region since the 1980s, the devastating human cost of sanctions (38 million deaths since 2000), and why Gulf allies are seeking new partnerships. With military assets still flowing to the region despite diplomatic announcements, analysts warn escalation remains likely with significant consequences for global stability and US influence.
