Analysis: Two Reasons for Iran's Continued Display of Firepower in the Gulf

Iran launched its largest retaliatory operations since the collapse of the ceasefire a week ago, targeting U.S. facilities and partners in the Middle East. The United States responded with intensive strikes against Iranian sites over the past six days, following Tehran's attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's failure to honor a peace agreement intended to de-escalate tensions. Although Iran reduced its attacks by 90% by April, it still possesses a large arsenal of drones and missiles capable of continuing assaults, with the aim of destabilizing the region and keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed—cutting off about 20% of the world's oil supplies. Over the past six days, only three ships have transited the strait, compared to an average of around 110 ships per day previously, indicating Iran's relative success in achieving its strategic objectives.
