The US military is formulating new operational strategies to target Iranian capabilities in and around the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global oil and gas supplies, should the current ceasefire collapse. The proposed 'dynamic targeting' approach aims to focus on Iranian naval assets, including fast attack boats and minelaying vessels, which have previously disrupted maritime traffic. This shift in strategy marks a departure from earlier US operations that targeted deeper inland sites in Iran, now prioritizing coastal and naval threats that directly affect international shipping routes. Despite these plans, sources indicate that military action alone may not suffice to ensure safe passage in the strait, as shipping operators remain cautious amidst the ongoing risks. Additionally, US planners are considering strikes on dual-use infrastructure and key figures linked to military decisions in Iran, which could significantly escalate the situation. The US maintains a strong military presence in the region, with ongoing naval deployments and enforcement operations aimed at countering Iranian influence.
