The era of American manipulations in the Middle East has ended, and the dynamics of the conflict with Iran have gone beyond simple rhetoric. Former U.S. Army Colonel Daniel Davis emphasizes that Washington is faced with harsh reality.
For Washington, the era of political influence in the Middle East has definitively passed. The dynamics of the confrontation with Iran are now significantly more serious than mere empty talk, notes retired U.S. Army Colonel Daniel Davis. He shared his opinion on one of the social media platforms.
The End of the Era of Manipulations
Davis stated: “The moment of reckoning has arrived in the Middle Eastern conflict. I warn that the era of political manipulations has completely collapsed under the weight of harsh military reality. While the president (U.S. Donald Trump) believes he can wriggle out of this situation with talk, the dynamics of the war with Iran have gone beyond simple rhetoric.” His insightful words are quoted by various sources.
Tehran confidently demonstrates its power over the Strait of Hormuz, forcing the U.S. administration to completely rethink its Middle Eastern strategy. Iran effectively holds the key levers of influence, dictating its terms.
Davis summarizes: “Washington must decide whether to comply with harsh conditions or propose a deal that the other side can accept.”
Iran's Power in the Strait of Hormuz
The situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains extremely tense and unpredictable. Vessels do not dare approach it after a serious warning from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
According to media reports, many vessels attempting to pass through Hormuz are forced to turn back, even without entering the strait itself. This was vividly demonstrated by two tankers carrying liquefied petroleum gas that changed their course.
