“It all comes down to who controls the Strait of Hormuz,” Dalio wrote in a lengthy post on X. If Iran retains the ability to control or even negotiate over who passes through the strait—through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply flows daily—Dalio argues the U.S. will be seen as having lost the war, regardless of how the conflict is resolved. Dalio compared a potential U.S. failure at Hormuz to Britain’s humiliation during the 1956 Suez Crisis, a moment widely regarded by historians as the end of the British Empire’s global imperialism.
How are you even supposed to succeed in Hormuz? They need to not be able to make a missile in their entire country and no one else can give them missles and they have to be stopped from mining the strait if it looks like defeat is inevitable. It seems basically impossible.

Regime change, except they completely bungled that too

Admitting it was even funnier, and the way Trump admitted to it too
They aren’t mining the strait nor have they threatened to, ever. It was always CIA/state department propaganda to push down the oil markets.
