How Iran defied Trump threats to emerge as Strait of Hormuz gatekeeper
Just read about how countries are negotiating safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz directly with Iran, despite Trump's call for a naval coalition. Analysts say Iran now effectively dictates who uses this crucial waterway, controlling 20% of global oil & gas flow. Oil prices are over $100/barrel, & countries like India, Pakistan, Turkey & China are securing deals with Tehran for transit. Meanwhile, the U.S. push for military action is getting little support from allies. It's a stark shift showing Iran's geographic leverage in the region.
