https://youtu.be/iWcwAoPpYCw?si=vT0OhtvNWEXDgzmP Will the Strait of Hormuz stay closed — and why does former British Ambassador Craig Murray say that closure proves Iran is a civilization the US cannot conquer? In this deep-dive interview, Craig Murray joins Deep Dive Perspective to assess two years of war in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran, and explains why — in his view — the US/Israeli campaign against Iran has failed to achieve regime change. Drawing on his experience as former UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan and his recent time on the ground in Lebanon, Murray argues that Western elites misread Iran by listening to exiles and Gulf clients, and underestimated Iranian national cohesion after the recent 12-day war and the history of the 1953 Mossad/CIA intervention. Murray contends that Donald Trump's response — including threats of sweeping sanctions on anyone trading with Iran — reflects a mercantilist worldview focused on physical control of trade, ports and shipping rather than free trade. In Murray's analysis, closing the Strait of Hormuz hurts Asian economies that depend on Gulf oil while doing little direct damage to the US, which he presents as part of a deliberate strategy to damage China, India and other competitors. He further alleges — as his own estimate, not a verified fact — that market volatility around negotiations has been exploited for personal financial gain through oil futures, citing trades placed in the half-hour before announcements. These are the guest's allegations and interpretations. The conversation also examines Iran's resistance economy after decades of sanctions, why Murray believes Iran can build a resilient, sanctions-proof industrial base for its 90-million-person market with access to Pakistan and neighboring states, the role of Dubai as an alleged sanctions-busting entrepot, parallels with Venezuela's domestic pharmaceutical production, and why predictions that Saudi desert pipelines will strip Iran of leverage ignore — in Murray's view — Yemeni resistance in the Bab el-Mandeb and potential Iran-China pipeline corridors via Afghanistan. The discussion closes on what a one-state solution framed to 1946 borders means for Palestine's endgame.
