We’re just two weeks shy of the beginning of “Operation Epic Fury” and the Trump administration is already way in over their head.
Bobby Jones, former Navy Commander in the region and host of Anchor Watch, hopped aboard Lincoln Square with Sam Osterhout to give us an explainer about the Straight of Hormuz and the realities of the risk these shipping vessels face. If they continue to stay anchored in the gulf, they could be collateral damage of the Iranian retaliation; If they brave the straight, it could be much worse.
“Trump can say whatever he wants. He can say the U.S. Navy is going to escort him, which we have multiple [outlets] reporting this morning. Many ships that you see in red have requested that. And the Navy has said no to every last one of them. Every last one of them. To say this is a strategic blunder for the Trump administration would be an understatement.”
So, what’s the play? How do we get out of what looks to be another lengthy engagement in the Middle East? Get caught up with Bobby Jones and Sam Osterhout today on Lincoln Square.
