LETTER: Trump caught off guard over strait closure

So our commander-in-chief and his “advisers” never thought Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz after being attacked? Islamic oil-producing nations have used the “oil weapon” for the past 55 years at various times. No surprise. Then, the other producing Gulf states continued to use just one shipping route for 90 percent of their products, despite Iran promoting divisions in the Islamic community for many yrars — divisions that mirror those of Christianity in centuries past.

History repeats, and we all are paying the price.
