The US is facing a nightmare of its own creation in the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran refuses Washington's calls to reopen this important waterway. According to geopolitical analyst Carl Zha, this crisis is reminiscent of the 1956 Suez Crisis, which saw then-Egyptian President Gamal Abdel-Nasser nationalize this pathway from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean.

This move by Egypt led to a war launched by France, Great Britain, and Israel. Ultimately, Egypt was able to charge tolls, and it caused the downfall of British Prime Minister Anthony Eden.
