US-Iran Tensions Enter New Phase
The article discusses the efforts of the United States to pressure Iran through a range of options, including strengthening economic sanctions, targeting military and economic infrastructure through airstrikes, and potentially conducting limited ground operations. The analysis emphasizes the importance of controlling Gathel Island, through which 90% of Iran's oil exports pass, as a means to increase economic pressure and deprive Iran of its main sources of hard currency. Additionally, there is the possibility of imposing secondary sanctions on Iran’s interests abroad. Experts indicate that these measures aim to compel the Iranian regime to accept American conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, halting the nuclear program, and restricting missile development. They also stress that any temporary agreement does not guarantee stability and must be accompanied by strict oversight of the high-enriched uranium stockpile. The experts call for balancing military escalation with diplomatic and intelligence pressures, warning that escalation could strengthen the Iranian regime and threaten security of navigation and energy supplies in the region.
