Trump Should Change The Strategies On Iran

In this episode, we challenge decades of US policy toward Iran, arguing for a strategic pivot from maximum pressure to managed deterrence. We explore how Washington can secure the Strait of Hormuz—not through carrier strike groups alone, but by leveraging economic statecraft and regional diplomacy. With Iran’s nuclear threshold shrinking and global oil chokepoints under threat, the future of maritime order hangs in the balance. Tune in to understand why a new Hormuz doctrine is essential—and how US recalibration could either stabilize or shatter the emerging multipolar world.Guest Info: Dr. Jamsheed Choksy is a professor of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington.
