Ep. 2408 - WINNING: Trump CRUSHES Doubters, Opens Strait of Hormuz!
Key Takeaways
- •
Trump achieved three primary Iran war goals
“He came in with four goals. He has now achieved three of them, and the fourth is on the way. Iran had three methods of resistance. President Trump has basically eliminated two of them, and the third is on the way. One, destroying the vast majority of Iran's forward military capacity. Two, wiping out their defense industrial base. Three, keeping their economy in a stranglehold, depriving them of the means to rebuild. Obviously done.”
- •
Iran's regional terror proxies are largely destroyed
“All of those members of the axis of resistance were supposed to be Iran's forward army. That was their forward capacity. And since 10/07/2023, Israel has steadily degraded and or destroyed those terrorists. Hamas, for example, no forward capacity at this point. Hezbollah has been so greatly reduced as a power in the region that now they're in danger of complete evisceration. The Houthis could have gone active at any time during this war and they didn't for a reason.”
- •
The Strait of Hormuz is now fully reopened
“As of this morning, the president of The United States put out a statement, quote, 'the Strait Of Hormuz is completely open and ready for business and full passage, but the naval blockade will remain in full force and effect as it pertains to Iran only until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete.' So it's open now. Remember that time when they said that we would never be able to open the strait?”
- •
Iran military and industrial capacity is defenestrated
“We have defenestrated their forward military capacity. Their missile base, basically gone. Their air force, their navy, gone. The United States and Israel have wiped out their steel foundries. They have hit all of their missile factories. They have hit their missile launchers. It is not clear how you get stronger by being alienated from every single country in the region, from Jews to Muslims, or how somehow you're getting stronger if all your leaders are dead.”
- •
Economic pressure is preventing Iran from rebuilding
“How you're stronger when your economy is totally nonexistent, when in a few weeks, you're not gonna have money to pay your IRGC thugs. The Iranian economy is defunct. Nothing has been getting in. If they'd given up their nuclear program years ago, they would have had normalized relations with a lot of different countries. The sanctions would not be on them.”
