US-Iran Conflict Stalls Over Hormuz Dispute

The conflict between the US and Iran appears to be dragging on for months due to a deadlock over the Strait of Hormuz.

According to current and former officials from the US, Iran, and Europe, the situation is unlikely to change soon.

The US and its allies have been attacking Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, while Iran has fired on American forces in Jordan.

President Trump said Iran would be hit hard for the Jordanian strike, but experts warn that he may avoid escalating the conflict due to concerns about oil prices and global stockpiles.
