Trail
Connection thesis
The Strait of Hormuz is in active contested control. Cargo ship attacks (240803), Trump's statement about 'freeing up' ships (240805), and Iranian counter-messaging about the strait's changed state (240804) suggest escalating brinkmanship. The coordinated statements indicate both sides are preparing justification narratives for further action.
