Negar Mortazavi, senior fellow at the Center for International Policy, commented on Iran's leverage.

Pro-state political analyst Ali Samadzadeh noted potential cooperation with Russia and China.
"We could do many things with help from Russia and China to damage US strategic equipment in the region like vessels, refuelling aircraft and electronic warfare."

Pro-state commentator Vahid Ashtari expressed concerns about Iran's military capabilities.
