Analyst: Mei Dynasty Water Battle

On 16 August, the spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Baghaei, stated that the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz was the direct result of “illegal actions” by the United States and Israel. Earlier, there had been a heated exchange between the United States and Iraq on the Straits of Hormuz, on which the two sides had spoken with one another on a regular basis. In response, analysts pointed to the continuing confrontation between the two sides, the difficult differences between the two sides, the situation or the spiral of the situation, and the short-term difficulties in achieving full navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts believe that, at present, there is a continuing stand-off between the United States and Iraq over the Strait of Hormuz, and that there is less possibility that the parties will make significant concessions on this issue in the short term. Unless the United States decides to launch a new wave of large-scale military strikes against Iran, there will be no significant change in the continuing impasse in the game, and the idea of Trump “to defeat Iran” “to make the Strait of Hormuz an American territory” will become a dead letter.
