Iran has gained considerable ground in the last six months, evidenced by a severe reduction in freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, from 20 million to 5 million barrels per day. Iran has also demonstrated its capability to inflict significant damage on its neighbors using advanced weaponry, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, and its incentive to pursue nuclear weapons has grown, indicating a loss of the US's dominant position in the Persian Gulf.
