> A senior adviser to the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Iran could “prolong” its war with the US until Donald Trump leaves office. Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is becoming more urgent as the International Energy Agency warns that global oil stockpiles are rapidly shrinking. Traffic through the waterway remains minimal despite Trump’s insistence that it is open and under US control.
