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.

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.”
