American University Foreign Policy Senior Lecturer Dr Garret Martin discusses the US military’s recent strikes on Iran in response to Tehran’s attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. “I think it’s a reminder to the Iranians that the United States still has significant military capacities and there’s always that risk that if the negotiations break down after 60 days, they might resort to force,” he told Sky News Australia. “In the same manner that what Iran did yesterday was a reminder of the ... leverage that they have with their control of the Strait of Hormuz.”
