Following the recent conflict with the United States and Israel, Iran has utilized the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to demonstrate its resilience, as reported by Reuters. Experts indicate that Tehran is now focusing on enhancing its strategic leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, especially in light of upcoming nuclear discussions. This vital waterway is responsible for approximately 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, and a proposed 60-day ceasefire has yet to be officially implemented. The shifting dynamics surrounding Hormuz are anticipated to influence regional diplomacy and global energy security in the near future.
