Iran's control makes Hormuz reopening risky for US: Kanwal Sibal
The Daily Guardian
|March 13, 2026
As the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran entered its 13th day, former Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal on Thursday said that the US won't risk sending its navy to reopen the Strait of Hormuz due to Iran's territorial control.

Speaking with ANI, he highlighted the vulnerability of the Strait of Hormuz and the resulting "energy shock" triggered by a halt in Qatari LNG production.
Sibal argued that the US is unlikely to risk a naval operation to forcibly "reopen" the Strait of Hormuz as the deep-water channel necessary for large vessels lies within Iranian territorial waters. Iran does not need sophisticated long-range missiles to defend this corridor; short-range missiles, torpedoes, and mines can easily sink high-value naval assets.
