Strait of Hormuz Stalemate: A Proxy War by Another Name The recent claim by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that it coordinated the transit of 26 vessels through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours has exposed a disturbing truth about the ongoing proxy war between the US and Iran.
The stalemate in talks between Washington and Tehran over resuming traffic through the narrow waterway is not just a matter of economic or energy interests; it's a symptom of a broader, more sinister dynamic at play.
The world has been watching as tensions between the two nations escalate, with each side imposing blockades on ports and threatening military action.
