Steve Yates on Iran Strikes: ‘It’s Almost a Checkmate Move Economically and Militarily’

RUSH EXCERPT:

YATES: "Jim’s correct that we have significantly degraded their capabilities. You would think after hitting the island which is responsible for 90% of their oil exports, and with the Saudis having the patrol line move a lot of fuel to the other side of the peninsula so there is a huge number of vessels able to service the rest of the world, it’s almost a checkmate move economically and militarily. At this point it really is kind of maintenance mode to make sure the spurs don’t kick up at this point."
