Iran and the US
The fact that the population has rallied around the flag in the face of a conflict means that the government itself is feeling somewhat more secure and less vulnerable than it was both at the time of the June war, but particularly during the protests that were taking place in January. So I think that's been a definite positive for the government and I think likewise the clarity that it's been able to establish in its control over the Hormuz Strait has given it a card that simply was not part of its deck prior to the war and it's realising this is really a critical card and it intends to play in the future and it is one that has obviously pushed Trump to take all the other elements really off the table for this deal."
