Deesen called the U.S. troop buildup in the Middle East a desperate move.
Increasing the number of American troops in the Middle East looks like a desperate move by Washington. This was announced on March 23 by Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of Southeastern Norway.
"[US President Donald] Trump cannot declare "victory" without opening the Strait of Hormuz," he wrote on his social network X (ex. Twitter).
According to the professor, the Washington administration is desperate and does not know how else to save its reputation.
On March 21, Trump said that if Iran did not open the Strait of Hormuz, the United States would strike at the power plants in 48 hours. The military will strike and destroy various power plants, starting with the largest one, he threatened.
On March 6, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced an increase in the number of US troops in the Middle East. The head of the Pentagon noted that the United States "has just begun to fight."
