The new Iranian leaders are “playing” Trump as he was “playing” them early on but the tides of the Strait of Hormuz are turning. How? By slowing down and stopping the oil, gas, fertilizer and cargo ships from leaving the Strait of Hormuz, raising the prices of goods and services as well as oil, gas and fertilizer which will continue to raise the price of food and fuel internationally. That is a given. Is Trump’s “Art of the Deal” failing? That is their (Iran’s leaders) Ace in the hole but the United States could have a Royal Flush.
