How long can Iran survive the US’s Hormuz blockade?
Just read about the ongoing tension in the Strait of Hormuz. The US blockade is pressuring Iran financially, but surprisingly, Iran's oil revenues actually increased 40% last month compared to pre-war levels, earning nearly $5 billion. Iran is retaliating by closing the strait and even charging tolls for passage. Analysts think Iran has prepared for this and can likely outlast the blockade, possibly until August, while domestic political pressure in the US might challenge how long Trump can maintain it. The situation shows both sides are digging in, with Iran signaling more patience.
