Iran Believes They Outlast the US Says Mona Yacoubian (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Mona Yacoubian, Director of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, discusses the ongoing diplomatic deadlock regarding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the president's statement that there is no current reason to engage in direct talks due to a lack of breakthrough, the situation remains tense with the strait fully shut down. Yacoubian highlights that the president has received military options from CENTCOM, including the possibility of limited but forceful strikes aimed at breaking the stalemate and compelling Iran to negotiate. However, it remains uncertain whether such military action would succeed in advancing diplomatic efforts. The segment underscores the precarious balance between peace and conflict as the standoff continues into the weekend.
