US seeks to save face as Iran stands firm over sovereignty: Pundits
Political analysts Tony Gosling and John Bosnitch discuss the US presence in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, arguing that Washington has failed to achieve its objectives against Iran and is now seeking a way to save face.
Gosling attributes the US involvement to the declining petrodollar system and broader geopolitical and political pressures, suggesting that President Donald Trump may be looking for an exit from a conflict he believes has been lost.
Bosnitch meanwhile focuses on geography and military realities, arguing that Iran’s proximity to the Hormuz Strait gives it a decisive strategic advantage over the US, whose forces operate thousands of miles away.
He maintains that neither military pressure nor decades of sanctions can force Iranians to surrender their sovereignty over their territory or the Strait of Hormuz.
