    00 ⚔️ IRAN WAR - HORMUZ OIL AND THE PAUSE
      The chokepoint war. Trump posts, in all caps, that for every Iranian shot at a ship in Hormuz the United States will destroy one bridge or power plant — including inside Tehran. Three networks carry it the same night and one calls it a potential war crime. Then the Houthis close the bypass route, oil tops $100, gas passes $4, and after thirteen nights the bombing pauses — until it doesn't.
