What happens when the US and Iran lose their strategic ambiguity?
What is strategic ambiguity—and why does it matter in moments of crisis? MEI Senior Fellow Ross Harrison breaks down how this foreign policy approach can help mitigate conflict—and how both Washington and Tehran may have undermined their own ambiguity during the recent 12-Day War, with potentially lasting consequences for regional stability. For a deeper analysis, check out his new book, Decoding Iran's Foreign Policy, where he explores the logic behind Iran's often-misunderstood strategies. You can find the book at the link below ⬇️ https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/decoding-irans-foreign-policy-9780755646074/
