Freeman was Nixon's principal interpreter during the 1972 China opening, US ambassador to Saudi Arabia through Desert Storm, and later assistant secretary of defense. He spent 30 years inside the actual machinery of American foreign policy. And his assessment is that Iran is winning the war of attrition, not on the battlefield, but structurally. Freeman describes the strait as a door that Iran left slightly open: friends could pass for a payment, hostile ships would be turned away. The president's response was to padlock the door shut with a naval blockade, maximising pressure on every economy in the world including America's own. He calls it completely irrational. He reveals that the Islamabad talks were not a negotiation but a performative act, that the Iranian delegation arrived with 70 people and full technical staff while the American side was heavy on politically connected cronies and light on experts, and that conditions aboard blockade ships are deteriorating rapidly with food running out and systems breaking down. He says none of the shifting objectives have been achieved. Iran has been pushed toward nuclear weapons rather than away from them, the regime has consolidated rather than collapsed, and the missile arsenal remains ample. He notes that India just paid for Iranian oil in Chinese yuan, that China is emerging as the defender of the international order while the US destroys it, and that Pakistan has convened regional powers to plan a military industrial complex independent of American dependence. 📚 Sources cited in this video: - U.S. Energy Information Administration, Strait of Hormuz https://eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=39932 - International Energy Agency, Oil Market Report https://iea.org/reports/oil-market-report - CSIS, Strait of Hormuz and Global Energy Security https://csis.org/analysis/strait-of-hormuz - United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea https://un.org/depts/los/convention_agreements ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This channel provides geostrategy commentary and analysis for educational and informational purposes only.
