Hormuz Maritime Pressure

Iran chooses maritime leverage rather than a direct strike on U.S. bases, using harassment, mines, seizures, or anti-ship missiles to raise costs for Washington and Gulf allies. This path is attractive to Tehran because even limited disruptions can lift oil prices and pressure Europe and Asia to restrain the United States.
