Washington has intensified pressure on Iran by targeting key economic and military lifelines, while Tehran has vowed a severe response to the latest US attacks.
US strikes have reportedly weakened parts of Iran’s economy and military infrastructure, but Iranian forces continue to maintain significant missile and drone capabilities.
Officials say Tehran could use those capabilities to threaten or disrupt shipping and oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategically important energy routes.
Iranian officials have warned that any further escalation could trigger a forceful response, raising concerns about the potential impact on regional security and global energy markets.
The confrontation has heightened fears that continued US-Iran hostilities could spread beyond military targets and create wider disruptions across the Middle East.
