“La estrategia de Irán es escalar el conflicto todo lo que pueda para hacer daño a Trump”. Moreno

“Iran’s strategy is to escalate the conflict as much as possible to damage Trump.” Moreno Economist and geopolitical expert José Luis Moreno, along with specialist Fernando Moragón, analyze the severe escalation of the military conflict in the Middle East following the intensification of Houthi offensives in the Red Sea and the twelfth consecutive day of US airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure. Moreno emphasizes that the Houthis operate as an enforcement arm of Tehran in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, allowing the Islamic Republic to activate a double maritime blockade encompassing both the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz, through which a critical portion of global hydrocarbon trade passes. This situation has led to sharp declines in the main Wall Street indices and has driven up oil prices. Furthermore, Moreno emphasizes that Tehran’s strategy seeks to internationalize and maximize the confrontation in the region to directly impact the global economy and the electoral aspirations of the US administration. For his part, Fernando Moragón describes Washington's military strategy as ineffective, arguing that the United States lacks the logistical and on-the-ground deployment capacity to force the opening of the Strait of Hormuz or achieve regime change in Tehran. According to Moragón, the White House is in a strategic impasse, constrained by the interests of the Israeli government and the need to maintain a narrative of strength ahead of the midterm elections. Moragón emphasizes that Iran's asymmetric response, using missiles and regional actors, exposes the vulnerabilities of the Gulf countries' energy infrastructure and Western logistics, transforming the conflict into a prolonged war of attrition that limits Washington's chances of a clean victory. #interview #geopolitics #Iran #USA #Trump #Khamenei #war #nuclear #MiddleEast #military #army #oil #Israel #Netanyahu #BusinessTV 🔞Disclaimer: All information, material, and/or content included in this program is for informational and educational purposes only.
