The Hormuz Playbook: How Tehran Borrowed Beijing’s Doctrine Against the US

Description: Iran copied China’s South China Sea playbook in the Strait of Hormuz—and Washington is struggling to find an effective response. In this analysis, Professor Jiang Xueqin breaks down how Tehran borrowed Beijing’s maritime doctrine to create an asymmetric trap for the U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf. By deploying gray-zone tactics, drone swarms, anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) missile networks, and selective maritime pressure, Iran is replicating China's gradual control strategy without triggering a full-scale conventional war. In this deep-dive strategy session, you will uncover: The Hormuz Playbook: How Iranian naval doctrine mirrors Beijing’s South China Sea gray-zone strategy. The A2/AD Trap: Why U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups and freedom of navigation operations face new structural limitations. Asymmetric Leverage: How controlling a critical energy chokepoint forces Washington into a costly war of attrition. The Global Energy Impact: What this doctrine shift means for international shipping lanes and global oil markets.
