Iran’s Hormuz gamble is running out of time
Iran’s recent move to block the Strait of Hormuz is a short-term strategy. If Tehran does not change course soon, neighboring countries may turn against it. The United States has launched a new wave of attacks against Iran. The timeline for this operation is not defined, but its goal is clear: reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. Iran’s claim over the strait has disrupted shipping and raised tensions. Experts say the pressure on Iran is growing. Without a quick political or military adjustment, the region could isolate Tehran.
