WASHINGTON-Before the U.S. went to war, Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told President Trump that an American attack could prompt Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Caine said in several briefings that U.S. officials had long believed Iran would deploy mines, drones and missiles to close the world's most vital shipping lane, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
Trump acknowledged the risk, these people said, but moved forward with the most consequential foreign-policy decision of his two presidencies. He told his team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait-and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.
Now, two weeks into the war, Iran's leaders have refused to back down, and the Strait of Hormuz has emerged as Tehran's most potent leverage point.

How Trump alone got the US - and the world - into a crisis in the Middle East. From the WSJ.

Selon le Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), la Russie a gagné 6 milliards € "inespérés" depuis le lancement de "l'excursion" trumpienne.

Soit 510 millions € par jour.

Soit 17.000 Shaheds par jour (prix unitaire à 35.000 $)

A qui qu'on dit "thank you"?

Geste de bonne volonté dans les manoeuvres électorales d'Orban à l'encontre de l'Ukraine: Budapest a rendu les fourgons bancaires arrêtés la semaine dernière. Généreux. Mais la Hongrie se garde quand même les 40 millions de dollars, 35 millions d'euros et 9 kilos d'or.

Erin Banco on X: "SCOOP: U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of imminent collapse after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, per sources briefed. w/@JonathanLanday https://t.co/02kwMBgUKG" / X SCOOP: U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of imminent collapse after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, per sources briefed. w/@JonathanLanday https://t.co/02kwMBgUKG

1/ News that the Iranian regime is proving more resilient than expected highlights its unusual governing structure as a 'polydictatorship'. In many ways, it was designed from the ground up to resist regime change. ⬇️

A clear majority (eyeball: 80-90%?) of tankers present in and around Hormuz strait are sanctioned ones.

Probably not news to insiders, like @TankerTrackers who got me the sanctions-list, but it was to me.
