New at the Belmont Club. Iran would be caught on the horns of a dilemma – the Horns of Hormuz as it were: to let the ships pass or by opposing them, give Donald Trump a 60-day renewable permit to pound the Islamic Republic into dust. Accepting either course would likely be fatal to the Islamic Republic. If Tehran lets the ships pass unmolested, the Strait will be closed only to them and open to everyone else. They would have blockaded themselves!
