Events escalate: All eyes on 47's Address to the Nation today. 01.07.2026. Let us recap on the background to this address: Netanyahu bombed Lebanon yesterday. Making a mockery of 47's demand that Bibi maintain a ceasefire and begin plans for withdrawal. This indeed is the first point on the MoU. The Straits of Hormuz are closed. Iran now holds the 'key card', it can totally shut the Bab el Mandeb straits. Immediately oil on the futures market would rise to between $150-200. The physical price per barrel would be north of $300 per barrel. An economic hurricane would be unleashed on the world economy. Above all it is in 47's interest to ensure this does not happen. So what are 47's options as he addresses the issue of the Iran war tonight? Militarily it is accepted that the US military cannot retake the Straits of Hormuz. Any attempt would mean a significant loss of life and depletion of the fleet. Any land invasion would result at best in a Vietnam style defeat, but would have the effect of destroying the US economy with likely hyper inflation. Aerial bombardment has been shown to damage badly civic locations and infrastructure but in no way stop Iran's now unimpeded hypersonic missile bombardment. Threats or warnings of military doom no longer have any effect on the Iranians, if they ever did. So it's unlikely 47' will resort to such dictums. Neither will imposing further sanctions or punitive economic attacks avert Iran. It is now becoming increasingly clear to the American masses that Bibi/Israel is intent on destroying any attempt at peace. What is needed is to convince en masse the American people of Bibi's undeclared intention of dragging the US in an unwinnable Middle Eastern regional war. How does he do it? What if 47' outlines to Bibi that he withdraws his troops entirely in the next 72 hours, and stops his attacks on Lebanon immediately. Then issues to Iran that it immediately opens the Straits of Hormuz and the Bab el Mandab straits. July 4th would be the deadline. If one or both sides fail to comply then on the 250 year anniversary of American Independence it would be entirely in 47's favour to announce a parting of the ways for the US in the Middle East. A case of a 'plague on both your houses', adopting the role of Pontius Pilate he announces US troops and forces were now on their way home. Is this likely? For 47' it is a win win. If he were to do this it is most likely Iran would open up the Straits implementing its toll charge. That would mean no ruinous economic scenario. Iran has made it clear they would only only stop countries that assisted the US in the war. That means Israel. 47' would not be affected as he rightly states America is the world's biggest provider of oil. So the onus is directly on Bibi to comply and allow 47' to secure a peace deal. Is this likely? No. If 47' were to adopt this stance at today's Address to the nation, all eyes would be on Bibi. Just where 47' wants them.
