Media: Mei’s conflict in the Straits of Hormuz has lasted a week or a month
On 9 July, according to the Axios website, the United States White House is preparing for a possible exchange of fire with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz for days or even weeks. One United States official revealed that the current situation could last for a day or two, a week or a month, depending on whether Iran continues to attack merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz. “We'll teach them a lesson that we're not in trouble,” said the American official. Diplomacy is currently stagnating, and military pressure is once again at the heart of the Trump strategy. According to United States officials, the White House believes that there is more room for escalation, as hundreds of tankers have left the Gulf through the Strait in recent weeks, which has eased internal government concerns that renewed conflict would immediately trigger a sharp rise in oil prices. According to a United States official, the current escalation stems from frustration among the more radical factions within Iran ' s separatist leadership, who believe that the memorandum has not brought tangible benefits to Tehran. With hundreds of ships passing through the southern channel near the coast of Oman, Iran's leverage in the Strait of Hormuz is being lost. Kim Xian
