US Treasury Secretary Bessent says US is opening up the strait, we have absolute control of the strait

Iranians do not have control of the strait. Project freedom was not done in coordination with Iran. If Iranians want to escalate, we are willing to do so. US is firing only when fired upon. It is a good time for US partners to step up and pressure Iran. Think market will be very well supplied. Every carrier through Hormuz has about 2mln bbls. World in a 8-10mln bbl oil deficit. China Trump and Xi have discussed Iran in their phone calls. China has been buying 90% of Iranian energy. Urges China to join us in Hormuz operation. Lets see China step up diplomacy on Iran. Aims to keep US-China relationship stable. Summit next week is a chance for Trump-Xi to share views, push forward consensus from agreement last year in South Korea.
