Iran gives the US a taste of its own medicine by weaponising its control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz Iran trumps the US by taking a leaf from its playbook In the space of less than a year, Encik Donald Trump – re-elected as US President on his promise of stopping “endless wars” – has transitioned from igniting a global trade war to launching a war of aggression against Iran. In the process, he has not only found himself trapped in a Middle East quagmire but also ironically “Made Iran Great Again”, in contrast with his earlier election campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” (MAGA).
