Assessment
Two commercial ships came under missile attack in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran resuming strikes in the strategic waterway. The United States is expected to respond, raising the risk of direct military confrontation and disruption to global oil shipping lanes. The key question is what form the American response will take and whether it will escalate into broader regional hostilities.
