Trump Faces Political and Economic Crisis with Strait of Hormuz Remaining Closed

by

NBC reports that two informed sources confirm President Trump fears the markets could turn against him and that high gasoline prices pose a serious political danger. The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. Every day that oil flows are blocked, the United States edges closer to strategic failure. Newt Gingrich warned, “If they cannot keep it open, this war will in fact be an American defeat before very long.”

WORST CASE scenario for this war:

Step 1 → Iran refuses ceasefire (already happened twice)
Step 2 → Dozen mines laid in Strait of Hormuz (already happened)
Step 3 → Iranian drone swarms overwhelm Navy defenses (US intel just confirmed this is the real threat)
Step 4 → 4 Patriot missiles fail to intercept ONE Iranian missile (already happened today)
Step 5 → Iran hacks Israel’s entire rail system (already happened)
Step 6 → Iranian USVs start sinking tankers (already happening — Thai ship burning right now)
Step 7 → Hormuz CLOSES. 21% of global oil supply gone overnight.
Step 8 → Oil hits $200. Gas hits $8. Global recession within weeks.
Step 9 → Iran activates Hezbollah, Houthis, Iraqi militias simultaneously
Step 10 → US runs out of bombs (Lindsey Graham just admitted this)
Step 11 → Europe can’t replace Russian energy AND loses Gulf supply
Step 12 → Iran hits a US base with mass casualties
Step 13 → Ground invasion begins. No exit strategy.

⚠️ 5 of these 13 steps have ALREADY happened in the last 24 hours.

This is the scenario NOBODY is pricing in.
