Political analyst Abdul Bari Atwan believes that the Islamic Republic of Iran has cleverly captured the United States in the Strait of Hormuz and that the Americans will be forced to surrender.

US President Donald Trump claimed that the Strait of Hormuz is part of American territory and will issue an order to occupy it in the coming days; these statements indicate the confusion and confusion that characterized his strategic plans in dealing with the Iranian crisis and its political and military developments; this is part of a note by Abdul Bari Atwan, a prominent analyst of the Arab world, about America’s defeat against Iran.

Atwan, pointing out that the name of the Strait of Hormuz will be recorded in military, political and economic history, emphasized that this strait is a trap for America and the most important sign of the beginning of the imminent collapse of its empire. For this reason, America will follow the path that the British, French and Soviet empires took.

He continued by saying that “Iran’s cleverness changed all the equations,” and this cleverness showed itself in long-term strategic patience. Iran turned the Strait of Hormuz into a trap for the United States and is using it for a long war of attrition. Trump’s ignorance of history, geography, politics, and strategic thinking greatly helped Iran in this way.

Iran’s Design to Defeat Trump in the Election

The note states: “We are not talking here about [Iran’s] military resistance in three wars and its highly advanced missile and drone capabilities, but about Iran’s current strategy, which is simultaneous and parallel to the current six-month war. In short, it is to prolong the war until the US midterm elections in three months and to overthrow Trump and the Republican Party and expel them from power in a humiliating and humiliating manner.”

Atwan continued, pointing out that the new Iranian leaders were well aware of this weakness of Trump and the anger of public opinion in the United States. For this reason, Iran did not give Trump a way out of this crisis so that he could use it to declare a “false victory.” For this reason, it prevented the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The report states that Iran did not grant Trump the concessions he wanted, but instead adhered to its six impossible and legal conditions; including the complete lifting of the blockade, the lifting of economic sanctions, the release of all frozen assets, and the payment of more than $400 billion in compensation for the destruction caused by the aggression of the United States and Israel.
