Critique of Trump Middle East

Commenting on Trump's threat to destroy Iran's infrastructure if Tehran does open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, Murphy wrote on X on Monday, "He has lost control of this war and he is panicking."

Murphy predicted that as long as Trump continues to align itself with Israel and continues the aggression against Iran, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed, and the price of oil will skyrocket even further.

Since then, Iranian armed forces have swiftly and decisively retaliated against the strikes by launching barrages of missile and drones against Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases in the region.

Iranian officials have stated that targeting US military bases in the region constitutes "legitimate self-defense."

Referring to Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, they say that Iran has the legal right to defend itself against "acts of aggression" by the US or the Israeli regime.
