Pars Today – The director of the American risk consulting firm Obsidian wrote on the social network X that the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz has failed.

According to Pars Today, Brett Erickson, the head of the American risk consulting firm Obsidian, said on X that his country’s blockade in the Strait of Hormuz has failed, and this is undeniable. Donald Trump, the U.S. president, had said that with the blockade continuing, Iran’s oil infrastructure would be destroyed within three days, but this did not happen. Brett Erickson added that the problem is that Trump is wrong.

Gas prices in the U.S. have exceeded 6 dollars

Meanwhile, with the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the aggressive war waged by the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran, gasoline prices in some U.S. states, including California, have risen above 6 dollars per gallon. The governor of California criticized Donald Trump and said this price increase is “Trump’s war tax against Iran,” which has led to billions of dollars in additional costs for Americans.
