Will Trump land in trouble while trying to pressure Iran?
Trump has opted for a strategy of exerting further pressure by rejecting Iran's proposals for a ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, this could prompt Iran to retaliate by disrupting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, potentially driving up oil prices and placing pressure on the United States. Consequently, the major question now is whether Trump's "wait-and-see" strategy will ultimately backfire.
