More than six months after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, the conflict remains unresolved with no clear victor. Initially expected to last weeks, the campaign has turned into a prolonged and costly stalemate. The U.S. military faces increasing strain, with estimates suggesting the conflict could cost over $100 billion. The situation has disrupted the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy route, leading to global energy crises and rising fuel prices, especially in Asia. Recent clashes include U.S. strikes on Iran’s Larak Island and Iranian attacks on U.S. bases in Jordan.
