Iran still holds the upper hand in the Strait of Hormuz.
Sean Poulter, Sky News senior analyst and former RAF officer:
🔹By deploying anti-ship missiles, drones, fast attack craft and naval mines around the Strait of Hormuz, Iran maintains the ability to stop international shipping. The Iranian regime remains intact, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is capable of defending itself and counterattacking.
Today, Iran is in a stronger negotiating position compared to the beginning of the war - and this is exactly what Trump does not like. He does not want to sit at the negotiating table because he knows he will be at a disadvantage.
