Iran's Strait of Hormuz Gamble: A Fool's Errand?

The Furies of Fuel

Fools in Tehran stir the pot threatening to choke the Strait of Hormuz. They believe they can control the flow of oil a lifeblood of this world. Such arrogance! They think they can unleash chaos without facing the consequences. 'Do not mistake my silence for lack of knowledge I know more than you imagine.' But let them remember the world does not bend to their whims. Their threats echo hollowly against the might of reality. Boy! These mortals and their petty squabbles over shiny liquid! They would do well to remember the price of defiance.

A Straitjacket of Their Own Making

These analysts they speak of trade routes and economic realities. They say Iran relies on this strait as much as anyone. Anas Alhajji this mortal speaks sense. Closing the strait would be a 'bane' to them. Their own goods come through that cursed route. They would cut off their own nose to spite their face. 'We must be better than this!' But are they? I doubt it. The path of violence is a self defeating one. They will find only emptiness at the end.

Echoes of Past Threats

Again? They have threatened this before. They scream about sanctions and nuclear deals broken. Like children throwing tantrums. In 2018 they barked like rabid dogs and before that in 2011 and 2012. Empty threats! The gods themselves shuddered at my rage but these mortals think their words hold weight? 'You will die!'. They would learn to fear the consequences of their actions but it seems they are incapable of learning.

Impossible You Say?

Possible or not? The Strait of Hormuz is wide guarded by others. Oman the UAE and the ever present Fifth Fleet of the Americans. These mortals argue about logistics about the width of the waterway. They say Iran cannot truly close it. The analysts speak of alternative routes and military might. But what about the wrath of Kratos when mortals are so uninspired and cause so much needless strife? Bah! Such arrogance to tempt fate. It is not in their interest.

Faint Hope Amidst the Flames

Even the faint whisper of closure sends ripples through the markets. Oil prices surge fortunes rise and fall. Amena Bakr speaks of 'extreme situations'. And I tell you mortals that you have no idea what extreme is. These market watchers and their charts they believe they can predict chaos? Hah! They need only to visit the realms and experience true chaos to comprehend. Closing the strait 'is kind of an extreme scenario'. I assure them it is.

Consequences and Blood Price

The bombs fall strikes hit their targets. This is what they do. Israel attacks claiming nuclear aims. Mohammad Hossein Bagheri and Hossein Salami are erased. The cycle continues. These mortals are blind to the true cost of their conflicts the true value of peace. The path to violence is cyclical. 'The cycle ends here!'...or so I wish for them.
