Trump's Attempt to Secure Hormuz Backfires; Shipping Does A Runner!

Right, so Donald Trump has managed to restart his Iran war using a photograph from the last one. He’s posted this to Truth SocialThat fire allegedly showing the latest attacks on the Iran’s coastal city of Chabahar? It’s from June of last year.Not this attack. Not this week. Not even this year.And while Trump was busy passing off last year’s flames as proof of this year’s brilliance, these were the actual images coming out of Chabahar. Fresh attacks. Fresh damage. Fresh consequences, because Iran have no more taken it on the chin this time around as they did the times before.Because then the tankers started turning around.Then Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar were dragged into the response.So, in the space of a few hours, Trump’s claims were caught out, shipping started going the wrong way, and his great display of restored control began spreading across the Gulf like somebody had kicked over a petrol can.The picture wasn’t fake, but the pitch was.And it only got worse from there.
