> Heather Conley, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former deputy assistant secretary of state, says President Donald Trump’s choices on Iran are narrowing as available targets and munitions decline. She says Tehran’s hardliners are taking a tougher position, while conditions in the Strait of Hormuz have not changed. Little traffic is passing through the waterway, which Conley says Iran continues to regard as a major source of leverage.
