Former Israeli Air Force commander Eitan Ben Eliyahu commented on the escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf and assessed US actions amid talks between Iran and Oman over the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, there is no final agreement: there is an understanding that Iran will control the entrance to the strait, but it is unclear about the exit. Iran demands about 7%, Oman about 3%, and the US insists on no payments. Ben Eliyahu believes that Tehran acts in a way that Washington does not understand its strategy, and that Iran's idea is to circumvent international law by reaching an agreement with Oman. He stated that Trump's military pressure is gradually weakening and criticized Washington's tactics. The expert emphasized Iran's readiness for a prolonged confrontation and noted a shortage of American interceptors, estimating a 60-80% expenditure. He explained that the problem is compounded by the need to defend several countries in the region, and that the deficit is critical.
