Like the spiral of his legacy swirling down the porcelain drain, Trump has lit off a new cycle of aimless bombings, after his patience had run dry for waiting out Iran’s “surrender” to a war the Persian nation had long won.
The US is now trapped in this doom-loop of impotence, striking the same insignificant coastal launch sites over and over to no effect merely as a kind of writhing agony of imperial frustration. The breaking point apparently came over Iran’s refusal to give US and Trump the satisfaction of announcing Hormuz’s reopening, as per Trump’s begging demands.
It has set the addled American strongman on another torrent of tilting vexations, wherein he ignominiously piled slur upon slur on the stately Iranians, calling them “scum” and a number of other objectionably unpresidential terms.
Iran is dealing with a foe of sharply diminishing cognitive faculties.
As stated, the entire re-ignition apparently came about due to Iran’s refusal to concede to Trump’s childish demand of a full “announcement” of the Strait of Hormuz’s opening.
CENTCOM tried its honest best to give authority to Trump’s claims, to no avail—the entire world could see that ships only passed the strait when allowed by Iran:
At this point, the US is running on fumes; the empire is at a deadend, and everything around it now appears symbolically to reflect this.
