On May 1, U.S. Treasury Secretary Benset posted on the X platform, stating that it is difficult for a mouse in a sewer pipe to know what is happening in the outside world. Here are some 'realistic scenarios' for the Iranian leadership—after all, they are indeed in a dark state of information isolation: 1. The U.S. has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz. 2. There is a shortage of hard currency (i.e., U.S. dollars). 3. Rationing of food and gasoline has been implemented. 4. The entire international community has turned against you. 5. The blockade will continue until freedom of navigation is restored to what it was before February 27.
