“This is the mother of all choke points,” says Bob McNally, former White House energy adviser. “Imagine your heart has one artery taking that lifeblood to the rest of your body. And that is what the Strait of Hormuz is.” McNally, who was an energy policy adviser to President George W. Bush during the Iraq War, says he supports President Trump’s goal of defanging the Iranian regime. “I believe that what President Trump is doing in terms of defanging the Iranian regime is principled, courageous, and correct. Totally support the goal,” he says. “I would emphasize the need to manage the oil and gas market implications. And that means making sure from day one we are attacking Iran's ability to do what it has done for some 12 days now, and may apparently do for an entire month,” says McNally. #iran #persiangulf #straitofhormuz #uspoliticsnews
