The reality is sinking in - the most significant change in the geo-politics of the Middle East since the US established hegemony in 1945. Iran now controls 20% of the world's energy and has emerged as the region's most important state - and a nascent global power. All thanks to Bibi, a strategic genius, Israel's would be Bismarck!
The Iranian-Omani deal on tap for the waterway would give Tehran power it didn't have before the war. The Gulf states, led by Saudi Arabia, have set the boundaries of U.S. military action, so Trump will enter any talks lacking leverage on nuclear issues
