The US-Iran Crisis in the Strait of Hormuz Continues

The tension between the US and Iran has entered a new phase of uncertainty, with diplomatic efforts ongoing through the Strait of Hormuz. The negotiating table between the two parties is proceeding on a very fragile ground. Foreign Policy Expert Umur Tugay Yücel stated that US President Donald Trump's aggressive statements have lost their former impact on the international public, and the focus should now be on Iran's statements:

During the US-Iran War, Trump's inconsistent and aggressive statements have lost their former value. Today, we should pay more attention to Iran's statements than Trump's.

Yücel emphasized that the basis for negotiations between the US and Iran is extremely delicate and that there is a unified political will in Tehran not to back down on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz. Therefore, he noted that Iran has the upper hand in diplomatic contacts:

Yes, there is a negotiating table, but it is very fragile, small, and insufficient. It can collapse and break at any moment.

Foreign Policy Expert Umur Tugay Yücel pointed out that neither side desires a full-scale war, but it is also impossible to claim that the conflict has completely ended:

Obviously, the parties do not want war. Because the Israel that initiated this war is no longer present, on the contrary, we see the US and its Gulf allies facing Iran.

Evaluating the most likely scenario for the future, Yücel predicted that the region will experience a period of controlled tension rather than lasting peace:

For the US, this war has become a process of regaining its own reputation, rather than for Israel. We are in a game where many scenarios can occur on the field and at the table.
