Iran–U.S. conflict is not a conventional war but a complex geopolitical system shaping the Middle East and global power. From the Strait of Hormuz to global chokepoints, energy routes, sanctions, proxy wars and asymmetric strategy define a fragile balance that impacts oil markets, security and international stability.

Iran’s military strategy is built on asymmetric warfare rather than conventional superiority. By combining cheap drones, missile systems, proxy forces and naval guerrilla tactics, Tehran seeks to impose high economic and military costs on stronger adversaries such as the United States and Israel, reshaping the strategic balance of power in the Middle East.
