Pravin Sawhney argues that the US, concerned about losing its status as the world's premier military power, may contemplate using tactical nuclear weapons to secure the Strait of Hormuz. He contends that such actions would be part of a broader strategy to maintain dominance and control over critical oil routes.

This analysis by Pravin Sawhney examines reports that US advisors may be considering the use of nuclear weapons against Iran to expand conflict and re-establish US military dominance. Sawhney argues that conventional military superiority is not guaranteed, and the US has historically utilized nuclear options, such as the Manhattan Project, to force favorable outcomes even when victory was already assured. He suggests that the US aims to control the Strait of Hormuz to manage global oil flow, thereby maintaining its 'petrodollar' system. Furthermore, Sawhney analyzes the shift in US military strategy from 'first offset' to current efforts involving artificial intelligence and autonomous systems in response to perceived threats from China and Russia. Ultimately, he criticizes current Indian foreign policy for its alignment with the US, warning of the potential negative implications for the large number of Indians working in the Gulf region.
