this is a good interview in #TheHindu on the ongoing US-Israel attack on #Iran, and this part is very interesting. This is becoming a total defeat for #trump & the #US. US removed sanctions on both Russian and Iranian oils. The Strait of Hormuz was open and Iran was not controlling it before the start of this attack and now, #Hormuz is closed and opening it back has become the primary objective of this war!.. Even if Iran opens it, they are going to keep it under control and going to charge a #toll on the ships passing through the #strait. A total defeat for US!they(Iran)’re selling more oil than they did before at a higher price. Prior to the war, they sold about 1.1 million barrels at $65 with an $18 discount because of the sanctions, meaning $47. Now, at least as of three days ago, they were selling at $110 with a $2 to $4 discount. They’re making more money than they were before as a result of this. www.thehindu.com/news/international/trita-parsi-interview-us-israel-iran-conflict-war-complexities/article70799394.ece
