Former American negotiator Dennis Ross suggests that the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran might reach a resolution through negotiations concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Despite months of intense military and economic pressure, Iran has demonstrated unexpected resilience, refusing to yield to Washington's demands. Ross notes that the Islamic Republic remains steadfast in protecting its sovereignty while maintaining leverage in the region. He proposes that a compromise involving navigational or security fees could allow both nations to claim a political victory and de-escalate the situation. As the costs of the confrontation rise, the United States appears to be seeking an exit strategy. Ross emphasizes that the persistent defiance shown by Tehran has forced a reevaluation of the effectiveness of sanctions and naval blockades, making a diplomatic settlement regarding the waterway a potential path toward ending the hostilities.
