It is not their only leverage, though it is by far their strongest card.
They’ve proven that they can destroy the energy infrastructure in the gulf, if they have to go full scorched earth. They’ve also proved capable of hitting Israel very painfully, and while it’s nothing compared to American bombs, the Nazis in Israel have a very low tolerance for any attacks at home, they can’t sustain a genocidal war when the victims aren’t mostly children and can actually fight back.
They’ve also already inflicted heaven losses on the US military, not to mention proved that they’ll come out on top in a war of attrition.
The only way the US/Israel can truly defeat Iran is with nukes, and while I do think Trump is stupid enough to do it, hopefully enough sane people can convince him that that’s not the victory he’s looking for.
