European leaders are busy planning to control the Strait of Hormuz at the end of the war, provided that Trump and Company disappear. At the same time, they’re working on a plan to run NATO by themselves if the Trumpster decides to pull out — perhaps even if he doesn’t. Hidden behind all this official planning, however, it wouldn’t be surprising if some of these leaders don’t deep inside long for Iran to triumph over the man from Mar-a-Lago, if not militarily, then at least politically and diplomatically. The European plan for securing passage through the Strait of Hormuz involves sending in minesweepers and patrol vessels. French President Emmanuel Macron, he of world leadership aspirations/pretensions, said the plan for patrolling the Strait by his Hormuz Homeboyz won’t happen if any “belligerents” are in the area, meaning the U.S. and its Navy. In other words, the plan is all pretense, not practicality, since the U.S. won’t withdraw until the Strait is open and Iranian ambitions held firmly in check. Now, as regards NATO, the plan is once again one of Macronian design, or at least impetus. The key to realizing this long-promoted French plan for a “European NATO” is a buy-in

Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the rescue in Iran’s propaganda wars. The Islamic Republic (Republic?) is fighting back against President Trump’s war with a series of AI-generated, Lego-style videos that feature Trump unraveling and reverting to his President TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) persona. The videos also proclaim that Trump started the war as a cover-up to his ties with Jeffrey Epstein and his underage mistresses. The videos display a profound grasp of what’s going on in the U.S. and how Trump critics portray him and his war. The videos have been largely produced by a group called Explosive Media, which remains a sort of mystery organization. Explosive Media has been fully sanctioned and endorsed by Iran. The cartoons were reportedly viewed by some 100 million people until YouTube eventually pulled them, citing their violent content. VIEW ONE EXAMPLE FOR YOURSELF BY CLICKING ON THE IMAGE BELOW:

Iran was able to bring about a ceasefire with negotiations that looked favorable to their side by closing the Strait of Hormuz, and then regulating traffic and charging tolls. It appears that mainly Chinese tankers were allowed through. This is the strategy that I earlier referred to as putting a “strait”-jacket around the U.S and its war aims. Indeed, closing off the Strait of Hormuz did prove instrumental in bringing about a ceasefire and negotiations with the U.S., but Iran got snookered by President Trump’s art of the deal. Trump knew from the start that negotiations would fail over the issue of Iran’s nuclear program and its future. He was waiting in the wings with his game of one-upmanship. Trump is now engineering a naval blockade of the entire strait, so that no ships can get in or out. This means that nations favored by Iran, such as China, India, and Turkey, will be cut off, as will every other country. These countries, however, can exert influence on the Iranian regime to resolve the situation, and resolve it quickly. Will this strategy work? Possibly, but in the meantime, oil prices are already surging and stock markets declining in advance. Trump
