Il Tempo: Trump: "Lo Stretto di Hormuz? a noi non serve, se ne occupi l'Europa"

Washington, 21 mar. (askanews) - Gli Stati Uniti non hanno bisogno dello Stretto di Hormuz - attraverso cui passa la gran parte del traffico mondiale di petrolio e gas naturale e una notevole quantità di cargo commerciali sulla rotta Est-Ovest - ma l'Europa e i Paesi dell'Estremo Oriente sì. E' quanto ha detto il presidente degli Stati Uniti Donald Trump durante un punto stampa con i reporter fuori dalla Casa Bianca. Trump ha sottolineato che finora gli alleati europei della Nato non hanno voluto fornire supporto in un'eventuale operazione di messa in sicurezza dello Stretto, bloccato dai bombardamenti iraniani in ritorsione per l'attacco aereo su vasta scala lanciato da Usa e Israele contro la Repubblica islamica.
"Stiamo andando molto bene laggiù. Nel complesso stiamo andando molto bene", ha detto Trump, "sapete noi non utilizziamo lo Stretto (di Hormuz). Proprio no. Gli Stati Uniti... Non ne abbiamo bisogno. L'Europa ne ha bisogno. La Corea, il Giappone, la Cina e molti altri. Quindi dovranno occuparsene un po' loro".
"È una manovra militare semplice, relativamente sicura", ha sostenuto, "ma occorre un grande appoggio, nel senso che servono navi, serve una certa capacità operativa. La Nato potrebbe aiutarci, ma finora non ha avuto il coraggio di farlo, e anche altri potrebbero darci una mano. Ma, sapete, noi non utilizziamo (lo Stretto di Hormuz). Sapete, a un certo punto, si aprirà da solo".

Trump: "The Strait of Hormuz? we don’t need to worry about that, Europe should handle it.”

Washington, March 21 (askanews) – The United States does not need the Strait of Hormuz – through which passes the majority of global oil and gas traffic and a considerable amount of commercial cargo on the East-West route – but Europe and the Far East do. This was stated by US President Donald Trump during a press briefing with reporters outside the White House. Trump emphasized that so far, European NATO allies have not wanted to provide support in a potential security operation of the Strait, blocked by Iranian bombardments in retaliation for the large-scale air attack launched by the US and Israel against the Islamic Republic.
"We are doing very well there. Overall, we are doing very well," Trump said, "you know, we don't use the Strait (of Hormuz) – not really. The United States... We don't need it. Europe needs it. Korea, Japan, China and many others. So they will have to take care of it a little."
“It’s a simple military maneuver, relatively safe,” he maintained, “but a great deal of support is needed, meaning ships are needed, and a certain operational capability. NATO could help us, but so far it hasn't had the courage to do so, and others could also give us a hand. But, you know, we don’t use (the Strait of Hormuz). You know, at some point it will open on its own.”

Benjamin Netanyahu proposes developing oil and gas pipelines linking Gulf states to Israeli ports, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz and Bab El-Mandeb.

This statement comes amid Gulf crises caused by the ongoing US Israeli war on Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the resulting global economic disruptions.

“Whipsaw Effect: Trump Again Signals Off-Ramp as Ground Troop Build-Up Continues”

“Now all kinds of catastrophic scenarios are being floated by the world’s top energy experts, should the closure of Hormuz remain in force for even a few more weeks.
Someone summarized the situation aptly - to paraphase:

‘Iran has survived decades of the world’s sanctions, but the world could not survive two weeks of Iranian sanctions’”

Without launching ad hominem missiles, Panetta, a true expert, lays out what it would take to ensure safe transit through the gulf of #Hormuz.

We are left to imagine the financial cost to the public, lives lost, and the time needed to sustain control of that large a region.
