Jessica Yellin Instagram – Trump’s new Truth Social post does three things worth flagging. He attacks allies for refusing to defend the Strait of Hormuz during active military conflict. He revives the claim that dismantling Iran’s nuclear capabilities is part of what this fight is about — a framing his own administration has been trying to ditch, after declaring those capabilities “obliterated” in June.
And he says the U.S. has won militarily. Maybe. But Iran doesn’t need to win on the battlefield — it just needs to keep breaking things. Disrupting the Strait of Hormuz, taking oil infrastructure offline across the Gulf. That’s a much easier war to fight. | Posted on 20/Mar/2026 22:38:59
