With U.S. military might looming and Iran regrouping behind closed doors, the risk of miscalculation in the Gulf is rising. The U.S. pushes for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — a lifeline for global oil — but Iran won’t budge without concessions like sanctions relief or access to frozen assets. President Trump faces a political tightrope: his own party resists giving Iran what it wants, while his administration needs the Strait open to avoid economic chaos. Meanwhile, Gulf Arab states, hit hard by the conflict, are divided — Qatar mediates, Saudi Arabia strikes independently, and the UAE watches closely, as regional power plays threaten to unravel any fragile peace.
