BlockBeats news, July 15: As the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz continues to escalate, analysts believe the US and Iran are entering a war of attrition focused on time, cost, and political stamina.

Reports say Trump wants to end the conflict before the US midterm elections and avoid oil prices continuing to rise, while Iran is trying to delay time by continuing to threaten shipping through the Strait of Hormuz while avoiding a full-scale war, in order to wear down the US’s political and military patience.

So far, the US has restored its blockade of Iranian ports and maritime transport and continues to strike military targets that threaten shipping; Iran continues to use missile and drone attacks on the Hormuz shipping lanes to disrupt global energy transportation. Analysts noted that, amid both sides avoiding a full-scale escalation, this contest may evolve into a long-term war of attrition.
