the Iranians parking millions of barrels of oil in tankers ready to export should have been leverage used in the negotiations . . . Our leverage.

Wait until it gets to deep ocean where IDF submarines can sink it with a “sterile” torpedo without any serial numbers or defining characteristics. Better yet...copy an Iranian torpedo and use it against them.
