"Why Give An Inch?" Iran's Secret Leverage Over the West - w/ Sharmine Narwani
"I think Iran has has played only um maybe 30% of its escalation potential. Uh I think there are many other things. I mean some that have been named in the media as as potential threats to you know the west which is um also shutting down the baba mandab uh or cutting internet cables in in the Persian Gulf etc."
The analyst asserts Iran has deployed merely 30 percent of its military and economic leverage, retaining options including closing the Bab al-Mandab strait, severing Persian Gulf internet cables, and deploying undisclosed weapons systems. He argues Iran holds stronger negotiating position than the US as elections approach and oil reserves deplete by August.
