In an interview on India Today, former Senior Advisor to the US Secretary of Defense, Colonel Douglas MacGregor, discussed President Donald Trump's threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.
MacGregor warned that enforcing a naval blockade against Iran is highly dangerous and difficult to implement, stating, "Right at the moment, I think many of Donald Trump's policies are, frankly, suicidal."
He highlighted Iran's military capabilities, noting that their unmanned systems and missiles could easily target US naval vessels.
MacGregor emphasized the global economic consequences of a blockade, including rising inflation and oil prices affecting countries like India, Japan, and European nations.
He cautioned that continuing this strategy could lead to a broader conflict, adding, "If he tries to stop traffic from going in, eventually, he's going to end up at war with someone somewhere."
MacGregor urged the US administration to negotiate an end to the conflict and recognize the shift towards a multipolar world.
