Steve Forbes Urges Trump to Keep 1 Strait Open and Topple Iran Regime

Summary
Steve Forbes called on Donald Trump to treat the Strait of Hormuz as a non-negotiable U.S. priority and to intensify efforts to bring down Iran’s government.
Nine straight days of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets framed his argument that diplomacy and “fake ceasefires” should give way to sustained military pressure.
Forbes said air power should be enough to avoid ground troops, but he kept that option open and argued the U.S. and Israel could help embolden anti-regime elements inside Iran’s military.
At Freedom Fest in Las Vegas, he cast Hormuz as part of a two-century U.S. commitment to freedom of navigation, comparing it with the South China Sea and citing the Barbary wars as precedent.
