Iran aims to collapse the US economy

Frankly, I think they could well succeed. Right now they're doing a job on Gulf States oil/gas infrastructure. That means even after Hormuz is navigable once again, it would be months to restore processing capacity. Air defence throughout America's Gulf allies is either exhausted or has been transfered to Israel. Trump claims he can open Hormuz. Even if he could, it wouldn't be anytime soon. Americans don't know or care that their society rots from within, but watch what happens when pump gas hits 7 or 8 bucks a gallon. Revolution for sure! If the oil shipments don't resume within weeks, GOP loses both House and Senate in November. There is also the problem that this war is unsustainable for Israel, and Israel is the only reason America is in this war in the first place. There is no place in Israel safe from enemy missiles. The economy is severely stressed. They goaded, cajoled, manipulated and possibly blackmailed Trump into this war believing American support ensured a quick victory. It hasn't and it won't. The billionaires who own this government will soon enough face a reckoning. Here's a fact they should keep in mind. It is only in the Western sphere that governments operate at the pleasure of the billionaire class. While Russia, China, and Iran all have billionaires, they can find themselves in jail, exile, or the ground if they defy the government. That may seem harsh, but I have a hunch the vast majority of Americans would applaud the reining in of the oligarchs.
