Why did the U.S. blow up 16 inactive ships in Iran?
from Breaking Bad Boys
The war is having its intended effect, which was to inflate the price of oil by cutting off global supply to the rest of the world. The plan rests on one carefully guarded media narrative about the Strait of Hormuz, which the U.S. will maintain for as long as it takes until it can fulfil its own lie. The Strait of Hormuz was not closed by Iran and never has been but the dream of turning this strait into the latest Trump Toll relies on the public’s unwavering belief that only the U.S. can keep it open.
