Dear MEPIN Readers,
As indirect talks begin between Iran and the United States over control of the Strait of Hormuz, the stakes go far beyond another diplomatic agreement with Tehran. The question is whether America will restore freedom of navigation or accept some degree of Iranian control and declare it a victory.
In my latest discussion, I address:
- What negative role could Qatar play in influencing President Trump’s decision on Hormuz?
- What does the IRGC fear most and why isn’t America exploiting that vulnerability?
- Beyond diplomacy, what should Trump consider doing to regain American leverage over Tehran?
- What historical precedent exists for America reopening Hormuz and defending freedom of navigation?
Please watch and share your thoughts.
