Sky News military analyst Sean Bell has stated that Iran currently holds stronger leverage over the United States than ever before. Bell argued that time is on Iran's side, not America's, and that Iran likely has the upper hand in the ongoing tensions. He specifically noted that Iran controls the strategic Strait of Hormuz, giving it significant trump cards, while President Trump needs an exit strategy. The analysis was promoted by Iran's Revolutionary Guards Cyber Corps, suggesting Tehran is amplifying this Western assessment of its strategic position.
