NO PEACE DEAL ON THE WAY w/IRAN /Patrick Henningsen & Lt Col Daniel Davis

Patrick points out that the US has no real leverage when it comes to pressuring Iran and the talk coming out of the White House is just hollow propaganda, where Trump is trying to avoid taking a gigantic strategic loss. Any deal where Oman and Iran organise a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will likely be hijacked by Trump as a US victory. At some point the US will need to back down as oil supplies run low.
