Why Iran is turning to sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz | Eye for Iran | EP 119 |
Iran is still striking back — but is Tehran choosing smaller attacks, or are its military options narrowing?Former CENTCOM commander Gen. Joseph Votel, now a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, and Farzin Nadimi, Senior Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, examine why Iran is turning to sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, what it reveals about its remaining military capabilities, and how Tehran may still try to make the conflict painful for the United States and its regional partners.
Then, inside Iran, the pressure is coming from somewhere else. Inflation and shortages are squeezing families while the state prepares to meet renewed unrest with force. Iranian-American economist Ali Dadpay, based in Texas, and Kamran Bokhari, Strategic Forecaster and Senior Resident Fellow with the Middle East Policy Council in Washington, ask: how long can force contain an economic crisis that keeps getting worse?
And finally, a very different sign of a regime under pressure. After nearly two decades abroad, musician Mohsen Namjoo is back in Iran despite having crossed some of the Islamic Republic’s most sensitive religious and political red lines. Iranian popular-culture expert Siavash Rokni and historian Shahram Kholdi examine what his return reveals about a system willing to bend its own ideological rules when it needs to.
Military power. Economic survival. Ideological retreat.
