BBS: TELESC.NET.BR Assunto: Re: What is the next step in the Iran war? De: Mauro Paes Correa Data: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 20:50:15 -0300 ----------------------------------------------------------- We have an old saying about war: You can start a war, but how it ends is unpredictable. Iran is not Venezuela; the scenario is very different. U.S. Intelligence has other informations, and Trump wouldn't start a war without a motive. And finally, in Brazil, gasoline, diesel and other combustibles have a new price: 20% increased. For Brazilians, is a big problem, because the country is very poor, compared with european countries, and U.S. And its impossible imagine a new step for iran war: Control of Hormuz, with soldiers, for example? Its possible, for maintain ships using the route.
