AIUS and Middle East affairs analyst Saeed Al-Bustani has said that time is no longer on Iran’s side.
Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Al-Bustani explained that Iran had previously relied on the passage of time to pressure the United States, but the situation has now reversed.

Al-Bustani also noted that Iran’s attacks on oil tankers in the Omani corridor have prompted a tougher US stance toward Tehran.
