Rajat Sharma’s Blog | Strait of Hormuz: Did Trump misjudge?

The impact of the Iran-America war is now beginning to affect our pockets as well. The price of premium petrol increased by Rs 2 per liter, the price of industrial diesel increased by Rs 22 per liter. The government admitted that due to the war in the Middle East, there is a crisis in the supply of crude oil and natural gas, there is sufficient stock in our country but the situation is serious. No one knows how long such circumstances will continue.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to US President Donald Trump and said that now Israel will not bomb Iran’s gas and oil facilities, but Iran’s attacks on the refineries of Gulf countries Saudi Arabia, Emirates and Kuwait are continuing. It will take at least eight months to repair the damage caused by these attacks, which is why oil and gas prices are on fire.

Iran has now understood that gas and oil are the weak veins of America. Gulf countries have been hurt the most by attacks on oil and gas facilities. Iran has attacked more than a dozen ships in the last three weeks. The Strait of Hormuz area has become a bone of contention for Trump. The Strait of Hormuz crisis forced Donald Trump, who had the power to fight the whole world alone, to ask for help from other countries.

Trump made a mistake in assessing the threat of the Strait of Hormuz and the world is suffering the consequences. There is no doubt that America has the most powerful army, navy and air force in the world. The whole world respects Israel’s fighting ability. That is why the world is surprised as to how Iran is still attacking the entire Middle East with missiles and drones?

Trump is repeatedly claiming that he has destroyed Iran’s navy and air force, the US Air Force can enter Iran’s skies at any time, then how did Iran shoot down America’s advanced aircraft like F-35? These are those fighter planes, which have the ability to remain out of reach of any radar.

Secondly, America is spending billions of dollars on this war and there is no guarantee that Iran will allow this war to end soon. On Friday, when America made a deal to sell air defense systems and missiles to the Gulf countries, people said that America was prolonging this fight to sell its weapons.

There is no evidence of such things, but the impression has been created all over the world that Trump imposed this war with Iran on the whole world and no concrete justification has been found yet as to why he did this. (Rajat Sharma)
