the iran war just escalated a bit; 

 

 It appears that the other shoe just dropped in the U.S. war with Iran. And with this news, the war has the potential to quickly spread into a wider Middle East conflict, laying what I believe is a clever trap for President Trump.

Because Trump has a monster ego, he will likely walk into Iran’s trap.

According to multiple media outlets, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis declared today, July 20, an immediate naval blockade on Saudi Arabia.

This brings the U.S./Israel-Iran war officially to the southern entrance of the Red Sea, shutting down an export route through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait used by the Saudis to bypass disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil that was being rerouted from the Strait of Hormuz into the Red Sea and up through the Suez Canal in Egypt will now be cut off if Yemen is able to make good on its stated mission. This will wreck the Egyptian economy, possibly drawing that country into the war against Iran.

Today’s announcement is essentially the Houthis joining the war against the U.S. and Israel, and it will be catastrophic for the global economy, which is already on life support because of the Strait of Hormuz being closed to 20 percent of the world’s oil supply.........more...........
