Iran sees time as advantage in Hormuz standoff

An analysis from Iran's IRGC Cyber Corps, published in the Financial Times, argues that time is on Iran's side in the ongoing confrontation over the Strait of Hormuz. The piece contends that the longer the US naval blockade continues, the greater the economic and political pressure on the United States and its allies will become, ultimately strengthening Iran's hand in any future negotiations. It claims the blockade has already driven up global oil and gas prices, creating leverage for Tehran. The analysis concludes that resolving the crisis requires strategic patience, a quality it asserts President Donald Trump lacks.
