In spite of pessimistic forecasts of certain doom for Iran if Tehran ever found itself in a direct confrontation with Washington, the Islamic Republic withstood the overwhelming US-Israeli blow launched against it after decades of mounting tensions. With Iran emerging from the conflict as the first state in fifty years to survive a war with America, the outcome of the Middle East clash may now send ripples throughout an international system already fraught with uncertainty.

'Hormuz will never return to pre-war state': Iran challenges Trump's 'total control' claim, draws red line
Even as the United States celebrates what it describes as a breakthrough in negotiations with Iran, emerging statements from Tehran suggest that the path to lasting peace may be far more complicated than Washington is projecting. US Vice President JD Vance hailed the latest round of US-Iran talks as having laid a good foundation for a successful final deal. But comments from Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, paint a starkly different picture particularly when it comes to the future of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints.

Will Todman, chief of staff of the Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department and senior fellow of the Middle East Program at CSIS, said that a low level conflict with outbursts from both the US and Iran is more likely than an 'all-out' war because the economic costs to both countries are too great.

Iran’s ‘new nuclear weapon’: Weaponised geography in Strait of Hormuz
Former Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller says the terms of the US peace talks with Iran are going to be “incredibly difficult” to negotiate. “I’m reminded of what the Taliban said, in reference to American efforts in Afghanistan. You have the clock; the Taliban said, we have the time,” Mr Miller told Sky News Australia. “We’re not going back to February 27 when 20 per cent of global oil supply flowed. It’s not going to be free and unfettered anymore. “That is the new Iranian nuclear weapon. They’ve weaponised geography, and they’ve done it with a terrifying clarity and impact.”
