US blockade marks strategic shift in global power balance over Iran - WH

Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said on Tuesday the US blockade on Iran represents a fundamental shift in American global power, arguing it will reshape the geopolitical order for decades.

"President Trump has put Iran in a box. He's played the CheckMate move. And so now no matter what path Iran chooses, America wins. If Iran chooses the path of a deal, then that's great for the world. That's great for everybody. If Iran chooses the path of economic strangulation by blockade, then the world will pass Iran by," Miller said on Fox.

"New Energy routes will be established. New supply chains will be established. Other nations throughout the region, throughout the world, and especially America, will power the world, and Iran will become a footnote. So that's the choice Iran has, and President Trump has put America into a win-win posture," he added.
