US maintains military-economic pressure through counterblockade while Iran controls Strait of Hormuz chokepoint, creating mutual leverage stalemate. Pakistan's mediator role elevates its geopolitical importance. Nuclear program re-entry into negotiations signals US hardening position. Israel remains aligned with US strategy.
Similar to 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War dynamics where blockades and resource control became primary weapons; echoes 2019-2021 'maximum pressure' campaign that ultimately failed to force Iranian capitulation.
