US-Iran Conflict Intensifies with Mutual Strikes and Strait of Hormuz Tensions
First report 6h agoLast update 1h agoCritics argue that US military power cannot end the Iran war due to asymmetric warfare, and some see Trump's actions as a distraction from his 'incompetence'.
The US is focused on maintaining oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, degrading Iran's capabilities there, and preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear-armed power.
