The US launched its offensive to free the Strait of Hormuz and guarantee the global flow of oil

complicates operations.

Analysts estimate that achieving full control could take weeks.

Iran is betting on a war of attrition

The Iranian model combines direct attacks with attrition tactics, similar to those used by allied groups such as the

Houthis in Yemen.

The use of drones, missiles and unmanned vessels makes it difficult to completely eliminate their offensive capability.

This requires the United States to maintain a sustained military presence in the area.

Global impact on the price of oil

The conflict has already had direct consequences on energy markets

.

The price of Brent surpassed $100 per barrel, with peaks close to $119.

This volatility impacts on:

• global inflation

• transport costs

• oil-dependent economies Risk of

greater Iranian control over trade The Iranian

Parliament is considering imposing tolls on ships that cross the

strait.

If implemented, this measure could increase Tehran's influence on international trade and create dependence on its conditions.

Experts warn of a possible “forced interdependence” in energy supply.

Trump is betting on unconditional action

President Donald Trump made it clear that the United States will move forward even without the

support of its allies.

The offensive reflects a strategy of unilateral leadership to ensure the stability of global trade.

Washington seeks to demonstrate that it has the capacity to secure critical routes without relying on international coalitions.

A key point for global balance The

control of the Strait of Hormuz is one of the main factors that define global economic and geopolitical stability

.

The US operation marks an attempt to restore balance in the face of the Iranian threat.

However, the scenario remains volatile and at risk of escalation.

The United States began a military offensive to regain control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, blocked by actions of the Iranian regime.

About 20% of the world's oil circulates through this route, making it a critical point for the global economy.

The operation seeks to guarantee free navigation and prevent a collapse in the international energy supply.

Military deployment to neutralize threats

The operation includes a strong deployment of military capabilities:

• A-10 attack planes

,

• Apache helicopters

,

• marine units

,

• aerial surveillance systems

.

U.S. forces are focused on destroying Iranian speedboats, drones and missiles

used to attack commercial vessels.

Hits to Iranian military infrastructure According to military

reports, the attacks have already destroyed or damaged

more than 120 Iranian vessels.

The operations also include the neutralization of naval mines and cruise missiles deployed on the coast.

The goal is to reduce Iran's ability to block maritime passage and attack ships in transit.

A complex and protracted operation

Despite the military advance, experts warn that the Iranian threat remains significant

.

The regime maintains:

• hundreds of boats hidden

• mobile missiles on terrestrial platforms

• fortified underground infrastructure
