Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue, with the risk of U.S.-Iran maritime confrontation escalating
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy transportation route and strategic location, is where the United States and Iran are engaged in maritime competition. What are the fundamental disagreements at the core of the US-Iran rivalry? Where is this confrontation headed? Li Zixin, an assistant researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, pointed out that the US-Iran maritime competition is a contest of blockades against blockades, with the core being the struggle for control and rule-making authority over the Strait of Hormuz. Short-term tensions are intense, but the long-term outlook remains fragile, and the regional situation is not optimistic. (CCTV News)
