An expert from Israel's Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) has stated that Iran is unlikely to ever voluntarily relinquish control of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical energy transit routes. The expert noted that the Iranian leadership views the strait as their most significant strategic achievement. While the analyst suggested that the United States may be prepared to recognise a shift in the status quo, their assessment indicates that Tehran will likely refuse to abandon this strategic leverage voluntarily. These remarks were reported by The Jerusalem Post, which did not provide further details regarding the identity of the expert or the specific timeframe of the comments.
