What happens when the US and Iran lose their strategic ambiguity? What is strategic ambiguityβ€”and why does it matter in moments of crisis? MEI Senior Fellow Ross Harrison breaks down how this foreign policy approach can help mitigate conflictβ€”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/

What is #StrategicAmbiguity and why does it matter in moments of crisis?
