Part 3/9:
Diplomatic Maneuvers: Engaging in talks with the U.S., though this could be interpreted as a sign of weakness domestically.
Targeted Strikes: Conducting strikes on U.S. bases in the region, a tactic previously employed after high-profile assassinations of Iranian leaders.
Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz: A dangerous option, as this vital maritime passage accounts for approximately 20% of global crude oil shipments. Such a blockade could have disastrous economic repercussions internationally, jeopardizing Iran's oil exports in the process.
