Neither US nor Iran can sustain strait of Hormuz standoff indefinitely

The ongoing standoff between the US and Iran is exacerbating Middle East instability, and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz cannot be sustained indefinitely. Despite demonstrating military superiority, the US failed to achieve strategic dominance and allowed Iran to control the strait, driving up oil prices. Trump’s ‘Project Freedom’ collapsed due to Saudi objections and lack of consultation, and Iran remains resistant to US demands regarding its nuclear program.
