Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Al Jazeera wrote in a report: Iran continues to maintain the Strait of Hormuz as its most important strategic lever against the United States and Israel, and Washington has not been able to eliminate this lever.
The Arab media outlet quoted analysts as saying: US President Donald Trump’s policy of continuing the naval blockade of Iranian ports has not only not forced Tehran to retreat, but in some cases has ended up in Iran’s favor.
According to this report, experts believe that if Iran restricts the passage of other countries’ oil through the Strait of Hormuz and the United States also stops Iranian oil exports, the Strait of Hormuz will effectively be closed; This will increase oil prices, put pressure on the global economy, and increase the costs of war for the United States.
Al Jazeera wrote: Iran’s oil exports, especially to China, have not been completely stopped, making it difficult to implement maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic. On the other hand, Iran’s geographical location, long coastline, drone and missile capabilities, and the possibility of using naval mines have made it very difficult for the United States to fully control this waterway. Iran can widen the gap between the United States and its allies by managing the passage of ships and getting closer to partners like China. Ultimately, experts emphasize that the sustainable solution to this crisis is not military escalation, but negotiation.
