The U.S intends to maintain the blockade on Iran indifinitely: The U.S is on a self destruction mission.

Sometimes it is better to find an honorable exit out of a failed situation than to keep trying to prove that the situation isn't as bad as it seems.

However, the United States of America seems not to be aware of this fact. 

Having miserably failed with its latest military assault on Iran, The U.S, instead of swallowing a humble pie and seeking an honorable exit out of the situation, has gone completely gone berzerk. 

With their Operation Epic Fury, The U.S and its closest ally Israel believed that with their combined effort, the Islamic Republic of Iran would finally come down and get subdued into accepting the Israel-US hegemony.

To their shock however, the Iranians effectively used the asymetric war fare system and put up an unprecedented fight against the aggressors that left the mighty Super power panting for missile interceptors with its ally Israel, curling its tail in fear of more brutal retaliatory attacks from Iran's missiles. 

This war has truly shaken the U.S position as the undisputed global Super power.

Consequently, the U.S is running crazy, doing everything to try and cover its war failures and prove its might. 

First, The U.S is frantically maintaining a naval blockade on Iran's ports and also threatening "economic isolation" on Iran as "never seen before." 

For a country that has already miserably failed with its earlier plots against the Islamic Republic of Iran, these latest strategies make the U.S look like it is on a deliberate path to self destruction. 

The rope it put around its neck by unjustiably attacking Iran, seems to be getting longer by the day. 

The U.S is so emboldened in its fight for dominance that it forgets some crucial facts as broken down below:

After 80 years of its military and econmic dominance over the world, things seem to have changed and the longer it takes The U.S to realise this, the more embarrassments it is likely going to face on the world stage. 

After embarrassingly failing to achieve its goals in its failed war on Iran, the U.S made a rush startegy of imposing a naval blockade on Iran's ports. 

Apparently, this was a move meant to pressure Iran into submission to U.S demands as a result of the painful economic consequences brought about by the U.S blockade on their ports.

The underlying motive however was to try and project U.S supremacy over the the Strait of Hormus, a strategic waterway where over 20% of global shipping takes place.

This, after the Iranians effectively took control of the strategic waterway and largely closed it to free global shiping. 

In a show of force, the Americans imposed their own counter blockade on the ports of the Islamic Republic thinking that this would be a temporary move that would force the Iranians into giving up their control of the strait. 

The Americans hoped that the Iranians would give up control of the strait in exchange for having the naval blockade on their ports lifted.

However, this move has not changed a thing about the Iranians' hardened stance. 

The Iranians seem to want the control of the strategic waterway more than anything esle, having seen the  leverage it gives them over their enemies.

Moreover, with their blockade on Iran's ports, the Americans hoped to inflict enough pain on the Iranians that would eventually force them to yield and give up their intentions of controlling the strategic waterway.

Realising that the Iranians won't exchange their control of the strait for anything, the Americans have lost justification for lifting their blockade on Iran's ports. 

Apparently, the Americans are now considering to maintain the so called blockade on Iran's ports indifinitely. 

This is only putting the Americans in a worse position that the military campaign against Iran has already put them. 

It only shows how strategically poor they are, of late! 

Their arrogance does not let them see that Iran is quite a different foe from all they have faced in the past years. 

First and foremost, the country is strategically located. Besides bordering the strategic waterway, the country has seven countries that boarder its land! That is: Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azebaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Of late, most of these countries have opened their borders to Iran, in a bid to help the country boost its land trade.

Therefore, for all the treacherous U.S  intentions, atleast the Iranians will not run out of essential commodities like medicine. The country is geography well positioned, thanks to God!

While the U.S focus is  mainly on the Southern coast boarder of Iran where the strait of Hormus lies, on the Northern border of the country, lies the Caspian sea, which connects the country to Russia.

Iran utilizes the Caspian Sea as a protected, land-sea corridor for strategic trade, sanctions-evading logistics and military coordination with Russia, remaining completely outside of the reach of Western navies. [1]

Iran used this corridor to reroute essential food import such as wheat, corn and sunflower oil—through northern ports to bypass vulnerable maritime chokepoints.

This route also expands commercial exchanges and grain shipments with Russia via internal waterways like the Volga-Don Canal. 

For the U.S to spend billions of dollars to maintain a naval blockade on a country with such a wide land border is something very ridiculous.

Moreover, other than projecting might, The U.S expects no direct returns from this blockade yet, it is using a lot of resources to maintain it.

The Trump administration is oblivious to the fact that these moves, as they keep making them out of panic, only sink them deeper into the pit that they themselves have dug. 

The Americans fail to realise that as for Iran's case, every move they make is a double edged sword, starting off with the asymetric war fare where the Iranians attacked U.S interests in The Middle East region for every attack the U.S and Israel made on their territory. 

This embarrassed the U.S in the eyes of its longtime Gulf allies as successful missile strikes on their territories proved that the U.S promises of protecting their territories are a sham! 

As if that is not enough, as the U.S has embarrassingly failed to capture the strait of Hormus from the firm grip of the Iranians, it is now resorting to covering its shame under the veil of imposing a permanent naval blockade on Iran's ports. 

In addition to their military failures, the U.S is also facing a diplomatic hitch by failing to secure a negotiated settlement with the Iranians. 

Very furious and humiliated, they are now resorting to declaring unprecedented economic isolation of the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

With the perception of their undisputed military prowess completely shaken by their military assault on Iran, these desperate moves make the U.S appear like its clutching on a straw for the survival of its crumbling  empire. 

The wise and very strategic  Superpower fails to realise that this move is another double edged sword.

While it desperately tries to cripple Iran's economy, the U.S forgets that it is also crippling the global economy at large! 

The U.S forgets, that the Islamic Republic of Iran, has the ability to cripple global economy as a way of getting back at these ridiculous moves.

Much as U.S president Donald Trump uses his 'Truth Social' platform to try and spin the facts on ground, the Iranians are very much in control of the strait of Hormus. 

Very few ships manage to make it through without the permission of Iran's navy. 

The U.S could go ahead and declare its indifinite blockade, for all Iran cares! 

The Iranians could just go ahead and impose a toll on whatever ship that crosses the Strait thereby covering for a bit of the oil gap. 

Or perhaps, they could choose to completely close the waterway like they did during the forty day war!

Worse even, they could use their proxies in the region to simultaniously close off other choke points forexample, they could use the Houthis in Yemen to close the Babel Mandeb in the Red sea, which is a very useful alternative especially for Saudi Arabia, during the days that the Hormus has been closed.

This could quickly send shockwaves throughout the global economy in a matter of days thereby throwing economic pressure back on to the shoulders of the U.S. 

There is no purpose in fighting someone who has the ability to reciprocate the pain you inflict on them. That is what the U S is absurdly failing to see. 

As for economic isolation, the U.S also fails to see that of late, there is a limit to the effectiveness of that too. 

With the creation of the BRICS economic alliance of which Iran is a member, and the rise of China as a second major military power, the United States may find itself failing in its isolation game too. 

Look at North Korea with all the economic isolation the U.S has imposed on it over the years. But look at how Russia and China have made the U.S sanctions on this country presently meaningless! Is it hard for them to do the same for Iran, which is an even better strategic partner for them? 

The truth is that these economic sanctions are very painful and biting.

Infact, inflation in Iran is currently reported to be at over 300%.

However, the Iranians have survived under U.S imposed global economic isolation for over 47 years. 

Yet even then, they have managed to build a formidable military structure that the U.S has miserably failed to break. 

Over the years, the Iranians have learned to adapt to these harsh economic conditions rather than have their spirits broken. 

The more pressure that is imposed on them, the more they will adapt.

Therefore, these last dich strategies of the U.S are a confirmation that the U.S has failed with its military endeavours over Iran. 

Moreso, these desperate moves are also bound to fail. 

It is sad to witness the highly respected U.S clutch on grass for the survival of its reputation but more worrying, is the answer to the question: "how much longer?"

With the wounded lion already losing respect from its traditional allies in Europe(no longer able to motivate them to join in on a  military  camapaign with it), the world will soon wake up to the fact that the U.S is infact not the keeper of global order but rather the disruptor there of.
