Strait of Hormuz: This is what Trump's "huge success" looks like

The article discusses the U.S. military's alleged 'huge success' in the conflict against Iran, as viewed by Donald Trump. It notes that Tehran continues to push forward with plans to permanently control the Strait of Hormuz, now indicating that partners like China might receive special treatment regarding tolls for passing through this strategic waterway, while others would need to pay more for what was previously free under Trump’s and Netanyahu’s leadership. The article suggests that military stalemate forces Trump to buy concessions at a high cost during negotiations. It also highlights Oman's often-overlooked role in the geopolitical equation, noting that British-French efforts focused on Oman are unlikely to yield significant results due to the country's weakness and traditional mediation role. The piece further implies that European nations are now dealing with a new reality where resistance to Iranian influence in the Gulf is limited.
