When the President Wakes Up!

With words, not agreements, but with wishes and desires, the real estate mogul and dealmaker fills the air with optimism about the imminent end of the raging war in the Gulf. The master of the White House sleeps as trading indicators plummet sharply in the markets, before recovering with the morning's breath to the tune of Tehran's threats to re-close the Strait. Breaths are held, waiting for the President to wake up to know his response to the developments that have shattered the atmosphere of optimism he spread before going to sleep. And with his awakening, the "devils" of land, sea, and air awaken with him, and he returns to his old ways of threats and warnings, bringing "hell" upon Tehran if it does not open the "open strait." Too much chatter leads to stumbles, and undermines the secrecy of the agreements being slowly prepared in Islamabad, which has generated an internal conflict among Tehran's leaders who found Trump's statements a breach of what is being agreed upon regarding the Strait, enrichment rates, and the fate of the dust buried under the rubble. By the time this article is published, the President will have filled screens with statements in which he says one thing and its opposite, confusing the confused, and disrupting oil supplies to Beijing... and "Beijing" here is the crux of the matter, and the hidden goal behind the Strait crisis; for the misfortunes of those trapped in the "bottleneck" are benefits for Trump, who directed ships to buy American oil as an alternative to the Iranian oil "prohibited from exchange." US oil sales during the month of the shutdown recorded an increase of more than five million barrels per day at its glowing prices, compared to three million before the shutdown. This is "investment in the siege"; where military tension turns into growth figures in American ledgers, while the rest of the world pays the price twice, once when the President sleeps, and again when he wakes up.
