Threatening Gulf ports

The fighting has not stopped since negotiations in Islamabad came to a halt. US President Donald Trump’s dangerous decision to impose a blockade on Iran’s maritime trade has disrupted the entire landscape, as Iran is now threatening to target Gulf ports. On the battlefield, Israeli forces are advancing in southern Lebanon and every success they attain there weakens Iran’s negotiating and moral position. Israel has already taken control of about a third of Lebanon’s territory and it is close to seizing three of Hezbollah’s key military strongholds: Bint Jbeil, Khiam and Taybeh.
