Analysts: The renewed fighting between the US and Iran is fundamentally a game over the Strait of Hormuz

Jin10 Data July 11 — Less than a month after the US-Iran memorandum of understanding was signed, the two sides have already carried out multiple rounds of mutual attacks, and there are signs that the standoff is intensifying, raising concerns among the public about negotiations breaking down or fighting flaring up again. Analysts believe that the current US-Iran military confrontation is still essentially a contest over the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides are trying to secure more leverage for subsequent negotiations, but they also have real needs to avoid a significant escalation of hostilities. In the future, US-Iran interactions may continue to show a pattern of “alternating strikes and talks, using attacks to promote talks.” (CCTV News)
