    Iran's Stance on Strait of Hormuz Dispute

    Senior former security officials and analysts argue that Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz are not merely due to internal political disputes but rather a strategic response to U.S. policies. They contend that Iran seeks to impose costs on commercial shipping and the global economy to demonstrate the price of continued confrontation. Despite internal debates, there's broad consensus among Iranian leaders that Iran cannot retreat or surrender under military pressure. The war is likely to end if the U.S. accepts Iran's main conditions, including its interpretation of maritime arrangements and lifting the naval blockade.
