Trump’s big bang! ‘Save your own oil, here we go’, why did America raise its hands amid Iran war?

When the world woke up on the morning of March 31, a social media post by US President Donald Trump created a sensation. Trump wrote bluntly on his platform ‘Truth Social’, “Whoever wants fuel – take it from us, we have plenty. The countries that refused to support us in eliminating Iran, now fight their own battles. America will no longer stand by to help you. The hard work is done, go and get your own oil!”

These changed tones of Trump have surprised everyone. Till now, why did Trump, who was talking about occupying the Strait of Hormuz, suddenly step back from this dispute? There is no political pressure behind this, but the 57 year old General Dan Kane It is the hand of that ‘masterclass’ presentation, which changed the thinking of the most powerful person in the world sitting in the Oval Office.

March 16: That secret meeting of the Oval Office

A high-level meeting was going on in the Oval Office of the White House. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and Security Advisor General Dan Kane were present in front of President Trump. Trump was furious over the fact that despite such a huge presence of the US Navy, how did Iran block the path to Hormuz? He asked a direct question to General Kane – “Why are we not putting our entire military strength there?”

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Kane, very calmly showed Trump the mirror of the ground reality. According to the New York Times report, Kaine argued that showing conventional military force in the narrow streets of Hormuz could be ‘suicidal’.

General Kane explained ‘death trap’

General Kane told Trump that Iran had deployed small and fast strike forces from the IRGC instead of its regular navy. There, even a simple diver or remote-controlled ‘suicide boat’ can destroy America’s billion-dollar warship in a moment.

He explained that the Strait of Hormuz is so narrow that big warships become easy targets there. This is a trap where it is easy to enter, but very difficult and expensive to get out safely. What Kane said had the most impact on Trump was – “The direct loss to America from the Hormuz blockade is less, because we are not dependent on this route for oil. The challenge is for countries like China and Japan, then why should we take the risk? We should be ‘America First’.”

Who is General Dan Kane aka “Raijin Kane”?

Now the question arises that who is this General Dan Kane, who forced Trump to take a U-turn? Dan Kane, popularly known as ‘Raisin Kane’, is the 22nd Joint Chiefs of Staff of America. Trump met him for the first time in Iraq in 2018 and was impressed by his straightforward style.

Kane, who has more than 2,800 hours of flying experience, is an F-16 pilot and a veteran of the Iraq War. He has also been the Associate Director for Military Affairs in the CIA. Following his advice, it is now believed that America will focus only on targeting Iran’s missile bases and command centers from a distance instead of direct confrontation.
