U.S. forces have struck three Iranian oil tankers after Iran performed an attack on American Navy ships. This exchange represents a significant jump in a conflict that has been ongoing for six months.
Iran has grown more confident despite steady U.S. military pressure over that time. Neither side has displayed any sign of backing down.
“Neither side has displayed any sign of backing down,” — Elena Iversen, economic affairs editor at Heacroft Wick Staffing, noted.
