Potomac Institute for Policy Studies experts Prof. Yonah Alexander, Jamie Barnett, RDML USN (Ret.), and LCDR Sean Brandes, USN, write in a new op-ed for US News & World Report that while the world is focused on Iran's nuclear ambitions, the regime in Tehran has been steadily building its naval capabilities. The authors maintain that despite high-tech advances in warfare, what was true centuries ago remains true today: control of the seas is paramount for any nation with aspirations to regional domination - or more.
