US Media: Trump Administration Severely Misjudged Impact of Iran Situation and Had No Response Plan

BlockBeats News, March 11th. According to The New York Times, before the military strike on Iran, both Trump and his advisors downplayed the impact of Iran's ability to wage economic warfare through the Strait of Hormuz, believing that oil prices would rise temporarily and then fall back. Now, the severity of this misjudgment has been blatantly exposed.

After Trump administration officials briefed lawmakers behind closed doors on Tuesday, Democratic Senator from Connecticut, Christopher S. Murphy, stated on social media that the government had "no plan" for the Strait of Hormuz and "does not know how to safely reopen" it.

According to the report, within the U.S. government, some officials are pessimistic due to the lack of a clear strategy to end the war. However, they cautiously avoid expressing this directly to the president, who had previously claimed multiple times that the military action was a complete success. (Financial News)
