The Australian Columnist Tom Switzer argues the Iranian regime has gained "coercive leverage" over the Strait of Hormuz as a result of its conflict with the United States. “The cold, hard reality is that the Iranians now have coercive leverage through the Strait of Hormuz, which is one of the world’s most important energy gateways,” Mr Switzer told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “They’re in this position because the balance of power in the region has shifted in their favour as a result of this war.”
