An analysis details the significant leverage President Donald Trump holds over Iran, which could be used to rapidly reshape the regional balance of power. Potential options include a naval blockade to cripple oil exports, precision strikes against critical infrastructure, and control of vital waterways like the Strait of Hormuz.
