Analysis of the Tanker War Notebooks
The article discusses the history of Iranian conflicts in the Gulf region, focusing on the "Tanker War" between 1984 and 1988. It illustrates how Iran continued to employ tactics of threatening maritime navigation by targeting ships to force the international community to comply with its demands. The article also highlights that U.S. responses—defending ships and destroying Iranian oil platforms—helped to curb escalation. It asserts that the current escalation in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait is a continuation of these old policies. The conclusion emphasizes that regional stability requires a fundamental solution to the crisis and the cessation of Iran's disruptive actions, rather than temporary solutions. History has shown that deterrence remains the most effective strategy to stop Tehran’s threats.
