War on track but opening Strait of Hormuz a major task, says former US Centcom commander

War on track but opening Strait of Hormuz a major task, says former US Centcom commander

Just read that a former U.S. military commander says the war with Iran is going as planned, but reopening the Strait of Hormuz will be a huge, sustained operation. He mentioned Iran's attacks are smaller now but still ongoing, and the conflict has already shaken global markets and oil prices. Interesting to hear that regime change was never the goal-it's about stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions and military reach. The U.S. might need to keep a strong presence in the region to secure the strait safely. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026/03/26/us-israel-iran-war-centcom-commander/

Worrying to hear that securing the strait will require such a long-term commitment. Oil prices are already crazy enough.

Interesting perspective. It's good they're being clear that regime change isn't the goal, but a prolonged US military presence won't be popular here either.
