Washington focuses on sanctions, not strikes
The United States is currently suspending air strikes on Iran, focusing instead on intensifying sanctions and a naval blockade, while maintaining the option of military retaliation if Iran attacks. This policy aims to reduce military escalation and increase economic pressure, primarily through sanctions on the oil, shipping, and financial sectors, and by limiting Iran's influence on energy markets through control of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. administration expects these policies to continue even after the November congressional elections, while monitoring the military and security situation, and not ruling out military responses if Iran behaves aggressively.
