The US has loosened Iran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz, but the costly war is far from over

The United States has reduced Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and nearly stopped Iranian exports. Despite these gains, the war continues to impose high costs on both nations. Economic pressure has not yet triggered an internal uprising in Iran, leaving the possibility that Iranian leaders may opt for military actions. Domestic support for the conflict is wavering, with some analysts suggesting the campaign lacks legitimacy among US voters and mirrors the long-term nature of post-9/11 wars.
