The Strait Is Blocked — Trump’s Real Strategy Behind the Hormuz Shutdown I China Insights
from China Insights · host Jen
The U.S. has moved to block the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints — but this is not just a military move. In this episode, we reconstruct what happened after the collapse of U.S.–Iran negotiations, and explain why Trump suddenly shifted from “clearing the strait” to fully restricting access. By connecting past operations in Venezuela, Iran’s shadow oil networks, and the global energy system, we break down a much larger strategy: controlling oil flows, reshaping global supply chains, and challenging China’s energy lifeline. This is not just about Iran — it’s about who controls the future of global energy and power.#Iran #Trump #StraitOfHormuz #Oil #Geopolitics #China #GlobalEnergy #Analysis
