U.S. Military Just BROKE Iran's Grip On The Strait Of Hormuz

About this video

Max analyzes what he describes as a major shift in control of the Strait of Hormuz, recounting U.S. military operations that he says have enabled 15-20 million barrels of oil per day to pass through the strait while Iranian radar systems remain blind. He attributes this to targeted U.S. strikes on Iranian coastal radar and command centers, advanced aircraft coordination, and a multi-pronged strategy to make the strait strategically irrelevant to Iran’s leverage.

Key takeaways

• Max describes U.S. operations involving F-16s with laser-guided rockets, Global Hawk drones, and naval escorts that he says have created a southern corridor through the Strait of Hormuz invisible to Iranian radar
• He recounts what he characterizes as a systematic campaign to destroy Iranian coastal surveillance infrastructure, command centers, and drone launch sites over a ten-night period
• Max argues the U.S. strategy combines military presence in the strait with global efforts (Keystone pipeline, Venezuelan oil imports, UAE alternative pipelines) to diminish Iran’s strategic leverage over global oil supply
