War On Iran: “And then? What?”
Trump’s latest outburst, intended to cool the market, issued about an hour ago:
The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.” This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.
President DONALD J. TRUMP

From the latest War Update by Hamidreza Azizi:
Iranian planning is no longer centered on absorbing strikes but on shaping the battlefield in advance. A concept described as “preemptive destruction” is emerging, involving continuous targeting of U.S. bases, logistics hubs, and staging areas in countries such as Kuwait and Bahrain to disrupt any potential ground or heliborne operation before it can be executed.

“Imo, anybody who pushes the line that the US can dominate the world oil and gas trade without the military power to achieve it is digesting British psy-ops.”
It is though.
If you mean monopolise globaly, then no, but dominate; the US has just ‘single-handedly’ adjusted world energy output with a few bombs, has set prices at ↑ .
They (say they) plan to eliminate production in Iran, long war straights closed. What Arab nations choose then is not necessarily Russia, but to pipe via “Israel” . You know how long that project takes, that might be how long straights stay closed.
This ‘idealy’ gives US/Zio control of S. American supplies, N. Africa and Nigeria, and Arabia, hence monopoly of supply to europe, much of Africa and S.America, probably Oz and various south Asia also.
China would lose out, even if Iran remained independent, and so turn to Russia, the other ‘winner’.
A Zio/US oil empire with US manufacturing weapons and providing troops, moving into Africa from there.
They don’t need military power to enforce that, if they own the oil nations will turn to them and be under their control for that, to whatever degree.
