The US and Iran are engaged in a "game of nerves" with "time on Iran's side"

Negotiations between the United States and Iran in Pakistan have come to a standstill. President Trump has ordered the U.S. military to block the Strait of Hormuz in an attempt to block Iran's oil exports and force them to compromise. CNN reported on the 14th that the U.S. and Iran have entered a "brinkmanship" game, with Trump betting that Iran will back down first. However, there are almost no signs currently showing that Iran will retreat in this struggle for survival. Some analysts believe that the U.S. Navy's blockade will not completely prevent Iran's oil exports. Over the years, Iran has found ways to evade U.S. sanctions and export oil, such as using overland routes. "The current measures are unlikely to substantially block Iran in the near future," said Johannes Laubal, senior oil industry analyst at Kepler Company.
