"The Strait of Hormuz must be open to all shipping. This must be the number one objective for the Trump administration as it is the one thing that has the most impact on the global economy and, most importantly for a domestic audience, the price of oil."
"Policy planners at the White House didn't fully appreciate how Iran could seize control of this critical chokepoint in international commerce, but they appreciate it now."
"The US must increase domestic pressure on the Iranian regime. Stopping the bombing is a good way to do that. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been significantly weakened by the joint US-Israeli attacks."
"Our intelligence community needs to do everything it can to strengthen the Iranian protest movement, arming them with weapons and resources."
Decisive action is needed from Trump to secure regional peace and improve midterm election outcomes. The ceasefire with Iran remains in place, but the perception of a US loss could jeopardize Republican control of Congress. Key objectives include ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open for shipping and increasing pressure on the Iranian regime. Strengthening the Iranian protest movement and avoiding military blunders are crucial for achieving a favorable outcome in negotiations and maintaining domestic support.
