Opinion: The United States holds an economic and geopolitical advantage in the Iran conflict.

Terry Wiesman, global foreign exchange and interest rate strategist at Macquarie Group, said that the United States has gained a greater economic and, consequently, a greater political advantage in its confrontation with Iran by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, increasing its own oil production, and issuing the potential threat of a U.S. oil export ban. If the stalemate between the U.S. and Iran does not end in the coming days, it could still be resolved in the second or early third quarter. This relative "isolation" has given the U.S. a significant advantage in recent behind-the-scenes negotiations with Iran. (Jinshi)
