					<description><![CDATA[The strategic and spiritual resonance of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply woven into Iran’s identity. It represents a profound geographic constant in Iranian history. This narrow waterway has served as a central artery for Persian political and economic power, historical consciousness and culture across millennia. Whether safeguarding Zoroastrian trade routes under the Sassanids, expelling [&#8230;]]]></description>

And while effective in a passive sense, the hardware planted beneath the soil persists long after the inevitable conclusion of war. Innocents and combatants who survive the barrage of bullets and bombs are left with [&#8230;]]]></description>

This bill already has the endorsement of dozens of peace and antiwar groups, draft resisters, religious organizations, antiwar feminists, and civil libertarians.

					<description><![CDATA[In the Asian shock, four transmission channels play a role. In the case of oil, elevated risk premium is coupled with physical tightening via Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Lliquefied natural gas (LNG) poses a more severe constraint than oil and thus structural tightening of Asian gas balances. Meanwhile, coal substitution is experiencing a short-term demand [&#8230;]]]></description>

One sign, of course, is his blatant demand for the territory of other nations.   Since January 2025 alone, he has suggested annexing or seizing control of [&#8230;]]]></description>
