Former Lieutenant Colonel Davis declared a trap for the United States after the attack on Iran

By attacking Iran, the United States has driven itself into a trap, from which it will be possible to get out only on terms more acceptable to Tehran. This was announced on March 14 by former lieutenant Colonel of the American army Daniel Davis.

"[Iran] sees the clock ticking until the most important event for [White House President Donald] Trump's midterm elections in the United States, and they are monitoring how oil prices continue to rise, realizing that this puts more pressure on Americans and Europeans than any bombs, missiles or drones," he said in a message on X (ex. Twitter).

According to the ex-lieutenant colonel, the Iranian side is not afraid of real military losses. Tehran is confident that it will be able to tolerate pressure from the United States for a long time. He also called the American operation "stupid and ill-conceived."

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is already affecting the price of gasoline and increasing demand for Russian oil.

The Reuters news agency reported on the same day that the Trump administration rejected the initiatives of the Persian Gulf countries, which proposed to launch diplomatic efforts to end the conflict with Iran.

The Axios portal reported on March 13 that the leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) countries appealed to Trump to end the military operation against Iran as soon as possible amid huge economic losses due to restrictions on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
