Iran mocks Trump in tense standoff
The article discusses Iran's strategy in the Strait of Hormuz, where it continues to challenge the United States by employing a game of chicken—pushing the other side to retreat at the last moment to avoid a full-scale war. A former Iranian official believes that Iran considers Washington to be unwilling to engage in a wide-scale war, which gives Tehran some leeway to maneuver and control the strait, according to its assessments, even if its infrastructure and economy suffer significant damage. On the other hand, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the possibility of a deal with Iran and some other countries to fully reopen the strait and end the nuclear program, amid escalating tensions and Iran's failure to announce direct negotiations with Washington. The future of navigation in the strait remains uncertain and poses a threat to energy markets stability and regional security.
