Mark Esper: Iran Has the Edge
Former U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper discussed how Iran has gained a stronger negotiating position, leveraging its control over the Strait of Hormuz as a pressure tool to bolster its bargaining stance. He emphasized that this reflects Iranian leadership’s confidence that they hold the upper hand and see themselves as the victors, with increasing boldness on the international stage. Esper also pointed out that the war has led to a depletion of U.S. ammunition stocks, particularly Patriot missiles, which take about two years to manufacture, thereby limiting America’s military capabilities in the short term. Although the Trump administration is striving to make up for this shortfall, the time required to ramp up production highlights strategic challenges facing Washington.
