Jim Hanson, the former Green Beret and security analyst, thinks that road can work as long as the hard security red lines hold firm, with economic links doing the work that more missiles haven’t.
The countries living within range of Iranian missiles have run the numbers, and they’re choosing to talk.
Washington should be paying attention to who is cutting deals in its own backyard.

Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Control of the Strait of Hormuz is the one thing Washington won’t trade away, and it’s sinking every round of talks.
Former Green Beret Jim Hanson says no American administration will let a hostile government keep its hand on the valve for a fifth of the world’s oil, and he expects the economic squeeze to bring Tehran around eventually.
That bet runs on patience, and patience gets paid for at American gas pumps every week the strait stays contested.
How long are voters willing to keep covering the bill?
