Mark Pfeifle, a former US deputy national security adviser, has described Trump as a negotiator who aims to use “leverage” wherever possible.
However, Pfeifle told Al Jazeera that the continued war means Trump has limited options to apply pressure on the ground.
He also warned that Iran retains significant capabilities, including the ability to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and deploy large numbers of drones. “The Strait of Hormuz is the card they hold,” Pfeifle said.
