Will Trump Pull the TACO Move Again on Iran?

President Trump's repeated deadline pushes on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz echo his classic "TACO" (Threaten, Announce, Cave, Overpromise), some also calling it rhetorical, that Trump Always Chickens Out, playbook. From "Open Hormuz in 48 hrs!" on Mar 22 to escalating frustration with "Open f*#$% Strait by Tue!" on Apr 7, all unmet, now "by Wednesday." Deadlines slip, rhetoric ramps up, but Iran holds firm amid ongoing tensions. Geopolitical experts note this pattern risks credibility, yet Trump doubles down, betting on pressure for energy security. India watches closely as Hormuz disruptions hit oil imports. Will he pivot to talks or escalate? History says TACO redux.
