US shifted from 'managing world's energy' to 'disruption': IRGC

IRGC claims Trump administration moved from managing world's energy to disruption, with Iran now center of coalition against disruption.

"The Trump administration shifted from the strategy of 'managing the world's energy' to 'disruption' - IRGC"

Tehran, April 30

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that the Trump administration shifted from the strategy of "managing the world's energy" to "disruption", and Iran has now become the center of the "coalition against disruption."

The IRGC said that the disruption project was launched by the US to contain China, Russia and Europe.

In a post on X, the IRGC said, "The Trump administration shifted from the strategy of "managing the world's energy" to "disruption," and a maritime blockade began as part of the grand disruption project to contain China, Russia, and Europe; but after 20 days, this assessment is deepening in the White House that the project has failed and Tehran has become the center of the 'coalition against disruption'."

Earlier, news outlet Axios reported that CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper is set to debrief US President Donald Trump as the Military mulls a new wave of operations in Iran.

Meanwhile, as per a report by the Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump has instructed his aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran. According to officials, it is a high-risk bid to compel a nuclear capitulation Tehran has long refused.

In a bid to blow up Iran's economy, Trump opted to continue blocking its oil exports by preventing shipping to and from its ports. He assessed that his other options--resume bombing or walk away from the conflict--carried more risk than maintaining the blockade, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Trump likely fears that his support might be dwindling as midterm elections approach, as the blockade has ramped up gas prices recently and has dented Trump's approval ratings.

Trump has ended the bombing in Iran since the April 7 ceasefire and opened up space for diplomacy after his threat of ending the 'civilisation'. However, his major targets of obtaining the enriched Uranium, halting Iran's nuclear aims and missiles, and opening of the Strait of Hormuz still persist.

Honestly, Trump's approach seems like a bunch of reckless grandstanding. "Managing the world's energy" was already problematic, but "disruption" just sounds like chaos for everyone. The blockade is hurting global markets and making gas prices spike. And for what? A nuclear deal that Iran probably won't accept anyway.

Interesting that the IRGC is calling itself the "center of coalition against disruption". It's rare to see Iran taking such a strong diplomatic stance. But honestly, this entire situation is a mess. The US keeps trying to dictate global energy policy, and now its own citizens are feeling the pain at the pump because of these blockades.

Trump thinks he can bully Iran into submission, but he's only proving that his strategy is failing. The IRGC says it's been 20 days and the White House is already realising the blockade hasn't worked. 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, gas prices are hurting Americans, and midterms are coming. This is not going to end well. India needs to diversify its energy sources fast.

The world is tired of America's energy wars. First Iraq, then Libya, now Iran? This "disruption" strategy is just destabilising the entire region. And Trump's fear of losing midterm support doesn't justify a naval blockade that hurts everyone. Iran has every right to resist.

The IRGC calling themselves the "center of coalition against disruption" is a bit dramatic, but they're not wrong that the US has failed in its goals. The Strait of Hormuz is still open, Iran's nuclear programme continues, and the blockade is backfiring. But
