Analysis Summary
Sen. Lindsey Graham said on CBS's Face the Nation that he expects Trump will seize the Strait of Hormuz by force if U.S.-Iran peace talks collapse — a statement confirmed by multiple major news outlets. Graham spent Friday with Trump and believes the diplomatic path is worth trying but unlikely to succeed. The threat carries real weight because control of the Hormuz Strait, through which roughly one-third of global seaborne oil passes, would give the U.S. leverage over global energy markets and put pressure on China and Europe, which depend heavily on that route for oil imports.
