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.”

Trump maintains maximum pressure on Iranian regime
“And then over the weekend, it turns out some of us were right and some people were wrong because he didn't cave in. And now he has Iran's feet to the fire, and they have really, really serious problems. So all this began with negotiations in Islamabad where the Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, arrived along with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.”

Iran’s military and economy are nearing collapse
“The reality is that the Iranian government—people see the attempt to control the Strait of Hormuz as a sign of strength, but that is not the case. Their navy is at the bottom of the sea. Their air force cannot fly. Their government is so discombobulated that you have factions within the Iranian government legitimately arguing with each other fairly publicly.”

Global oil shipping shifts to American Gulf
“Massive numbers of completely empty oil tankers, some of the largest anywhere in the world, are heading right now to the United States to load up with the best and sweetest oil and gas anywhere in the world. We have more oil than the next two largest oil economies combined and in higher quality. We’re waiting for you. Quick turnaround.”

Iran haphazardly mined the Strait of Hormuz
“Iran's inability to locate its own mines is one reason Iran has not been able to quickly comply with the Trump administration's admonitions to let more traffic pass through the strait. Safe routes are limited in large part because Iran mined the strait haphazardly. It's not even clear that Iran recorded where it put every mine, and even when they recorded the location, they let them drift.”

China suffers most from Hormuz shipping blockade
“If the Straits of Hormuz were to be, let us say, permanently closed or harmed, the chief problem would lie with the people who get their oil from the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the United States. That is jet fuel in Europe. That is most of the oil that is going into places like Japan and China from that region.”
