Jim Rickards wrote in an editorial on April 13, 2026: “Trump only has three options regarding the war in Iran. He can declare victory and go home. However, Iran could continue the war and would control the Strait of Hormuz. Energy prices would remain high. The second option is to keep bombing and wait for regime change in Iran. That’s also a losing strategy. It’s already clear there will not be regime change. The third course is escalation – exactly what Trump is doing. Iran recently announced they were setting up a toll booth at the Strait of Hormuz. Only Iran-approved vessels could transit. And those vessels had to pay a toll charge. The U.S. Navy won’t escort vessels through the Strait because the risk of losing a ship is too great. Instead, Trump is implementing his own naval blockade further out to sea. If a vessel makes it through the Strait (with Iranian permission), it and its oil will be seized by the U.S. Iran is acting like a Mafia extortionist. The U.S. Navy is acting like Caribbean pirates. Either way, no oil gets through. Get ready for $10 gas at the pump. Get ready for a global recession. And get ready for more escalation. It’s Trump’s only remaining card.” Is this a perceptive analysis and prediction of what the future holds, and is it being orchestrated by the Extraterrestrial Alliance?
