How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

Iran’s assertion of control challenges prior US threats and highlights limits of coercive diplomacy.

“US unilateralism escalates tensions while Iranian security concerns receive insufficient attention”

Conservative

Iran's position shows the results of perceived US weakness and requires credible deterrence.

“Sanctions alone fail against regimes that treat restraint as opportunity”

Libertarian

Both Iranian control claims and US threats illustrate state interference with free commerce.

“Coercive state edicts replace neutral navigation rules”

Devil's Advocate

All three views accept Iran's claims at face value while ignoring unverified details and practical constraints.

“Iran cannot durably close the strait without harming its own exports and inviting naval response”
