It seems to me that we are now in a long term standoff in the Persian Gulf with the Iranians keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed they say until the US makes concessions which I cannot imagine it will ever make. Whilst this is debilitating for the global economy, from an Iranian point of view this strategy carries risks and as I have discussed in various programmes Alex and I have done together, I am far from sure that long term it is the right approach. for Iran to take.
