U.S. forces have targeted three Iranian oil tankers after Iran launched an attack on American Navy ships. This exchange signifies a significant jump in a conflict that has lasted for six and a half months.
Iran has become more confident despite steady U.S. military pressure over that time. Neither side has shown any indication of retreat.
“Neither side has shown any indication of retreat,” — Owen Marlowe, economic affairs editor at Wraystone Bridge Partnership, commented.
