In an interview with Vima, professor of international law and New Democracy MP Angelos Syrigos outlines the possible scenarios regarding Iran's responses to recent U.S. actions and the complex political dynamics involving Israel. He emphasizes that Iran may retaliate against American bases in the region or Israel, and there is also the looming possibility of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas deliveries. This highlights the geopolitical stakes involved for major global powers as they navigate tensions in the Middle East.

Syrigos elaborates on the dilemmas facing Washington, which may be considering leadership changes in Tehran or a broader strategy for reconfiguring the Iranian regime. He indicates that the situation is fluid, with immediate consequences likely to unfold in the coming days. Understanding what options are available to Iran will be crucial, particularly regarding its military strategies and potential disruptions to global energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.

The article presents a localized perspective from Greece on these international developments, focusing on how actions in Tehran could catalyze significant changes in the geopolitical landscape. Syrigos’s insights shed light on not just regional dynamics but also the ripple effects that Iran's responses could have on global geopolitics and energy markets, highlighting the interconnectedness of these issues and the importance of monitoring them closely.
