Iran's Asymmetric Strategy in Strait of Hormuz Challenges US Navy Operations

The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow chokepoint vital for global oil flow, is a strategic flashpoint where Iran employs asymmetric tactics against the US Navy. Iran's coastal missile systems, fast attack boats, drones, and naval mines pose significant threats in the confined waterway. The US is cautious about unilateral action, seeking a coalition to secure the strait and avoid falling into Iran's potential trap, which could escalate tensions and disrupt global trade.
