Iran’s Strait of Hormuz leverage is fading as global oil keeps flowing - opinion
Hormuz was Iran’s best card, and it’s already been played and lost. What remains is a regime running out of money, running out of allies, and running out of time
Assessment
Iran's ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz has eroded, removing its primary source of leverage in global energy markets. The regime now faces dwindling revenue, shrinking alliances, and mounting internal pressures. Without that strategic card, its economic and diplomatic options narrow further. What remains to be seen is how Tehran responds as its position continues to weaken.
