High-level American political statements have affirmed the United States' absolute control over strategic waterways, primarily the Strait of Hormuz, dismissing Iranian claims to the contrary. The American leadership outlined three primary strategies for addressing Tehran amid current tensions. The first
strategy involves maintaining the policy of pressure and observation, allowing the Iranian economy to face internal collapse due to unprecedented inflation and currency devaluation. The second option entails executing severe military strikes. The third option focuses on tightening economic strangulation
and financial sanctions, a course already being implemented to restrict the regime's capacity to finance its operations and secure resources.
