    I've studied military strategy. Trump now faces Iran's oldest battlefield trick

    The article compares military strategy to chess, analyzing how Iran counters U.S. actions in the Persian Gulf by shifting pressure to shipping lanes, oil markets, and regional politics rather than direct military confrontation. It references historical conflicts like the Tanker War during the Iran-Iraq War and current tensions over chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz and potential threats to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
