On April 9, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Iran's decision to charge transit fees through the Strait of Hormuz, labeling it 'dishonorable' and stating it contradicts existing agreements. This statement reflects ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran regarding maritime operations in a critical global shipping route. The remarks were made via Trump's Truth Social app. The discussion follows a broader narrative about U.S. military power and its perceived vulnerabilities since the 1999 Kosovo intervention.

مجله آمریکایی نیشن: حداقل از زمان حمله کلینتون به صربستان در سال ۱۹۹۹، آمریکا در شبکه‌ای از توهمات درباره قدرت خود گرفتار شده است

🔹 آیا آتش‌بس کنونی سرانجام این تصور را که قدرت نظامی آمریکا شکست‌ناپذیر است، باطل خواهد کرد؟
