Former American diplomat: Iran has shown its neighbors that America is unable to protect them.
Chas Freeman, a former American diplomat, said: "We have been trying to get out of the crisis we have created for eight months, but we have not succeeded and we will not succeed. Therefore, when Iran says that it will take control of the Strait of Hormuz, this warning should be taken seriously.
He emphasized that Iran will ensure its security through military means; An approach that has been relatively effective so far.
