U.S. Intelligence Assessment: The Strait of Hormuz is unlikely to be "opened" in the short term

Recent assessments by the U.S. intelligence community suggest that Iran views the Strait of Hormuz as a crucial “chip” to counterbalance the United States, and it is unlikely to relax control over this vital energy shipping route in the short term. Analysts believe that the U.S. is currently caught in multiple dilemmas: on one hand, Iran leverages its advantageous geographical position to control the Strait of Hormuz, making it difficult for the U.S. to use force to “open” the passage; on the other hand, Iran will continue to use the strait as a bargaining chip, making the prospects for U.S. negotiations difficult.
