Over the past several weeks, the United States has succeeded in eroding Iran's capacity to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, and by bringing Iran's own oil exports to a virtual standstill, it has further accelerated the free fall of the Iranian economy.

However, the war that the United States and Israel initiated in February, despite having been expected to last only a matter of weeks, has yet to be brought to a conclusion, and this stalemate is exacting an enormous toll on both sides.

The mounting economic pressure on Iran has not yet reached the point of igniting an uprising, and one cannot rule out the possibility that, if the Iranian leadership is driven into a corner, it will opt for military escalation rather than surrender.

Mona Yacoubian, a Middle East specialist at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), stated, "Regrettably, notwithstanding the limited gains it has achieved in loosening Iran's grip on the strait and inflicting devastating damage on the Iranian economy, the United States is not gaining the upper hand in its war with Iran."

Not only does Iran show no inclination to back down, but it is in fact mounting a counteroffensive, and it has proclaimed its determination to escalate the conflict on every front at its disposal.

In the early days of the war, Iran exploited as a bargaining lever the global economic shock brought about by its de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil and gas trade ordinarily passes.

According to figures compiled by Homayoun Falakshahi, a oil expert at Kpler, a global trade monitoring agency, the US blockade has brought Iran's exports to a virtual standstill, whereas US forces have contributed to an increase in exports by the Gulf states.

Non-Iranian oil exports surged from 300,000 barrels per day at the height of the war to 8.4 million barrels per day in September, and when exports routed through alternative channels are included, that figure swelled to 10.8 million barrels per day.

However, the increased flow depends on a large-scale US military deployment to the strait, which is straining military resources.

However, no indication whatsoever has thus far been detected that it is exerting pressure on Iran's leadershipโ€”which has persistently deepened its hardline stanceโ€”to extract concessions regarding the Strait of Hormuz, its nuclear program that has been the subject of international controversy, or its support for armed groups in the region.

By persistently mounting attacks on vessels in the vicinity of the strait, Iran sought to provoke limited airstrikes by the United States on its coastal areas, and responded in kind with missile strikes targeting the Arab nations in which American forces are stationed.
