On Sunday, the US president published an expletive laden post on Truth Social, threatening Iran with dire consequences if the Strait of Hormuz was not re-opened.
In my personal view, this was not the sort of post I would have expected by a US president.
Many consider attacks against civilian targets a war crime. This would be contested I expect.
In my view, this will make the Iranian people more angry and less likely to side with the USA. If you dislike a regime in power, why take it out on ordinary folk?
What is certain is that this is an asymmetric war with might against cunning.
I fail to understand why people cannot live in peace and harmony with everyone. Wars cost a great deal and rarely achieve much good. The common person rarely really wants war. Those that stand to gain have shares in companies supplying weapons and ammunition.
