Iran's biggest weapon against the US may be slipping away, experts say
Iran's attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz have caused oil price spikes, but experts suggest its ability to use the waterway as leverage against the U.S. is weakening due to increased global oil production, alternative export routes, and new shipping patterns. The Trump administration has responded by declaring the U.S.–Iran ceasefire 'over' and threatening a naval blockade if attacks continue.
