> The positions of Washington and Tehran have changed dramatically since US-Israeli strikes began the war, analysts say.

### The positions of Washington and Tehran have changed dramatically since the US and ‘Israel’ began the war. For example, the critical Gulf waterway, the Gulf of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies were shipped before the war, was not even an issue before the United States and Israel first launched strikes on Iran on February 28. Furthermore, talks over Iran’s nuclear programme were under way at the time.

As the US wrestles with depleted defensive weapons stocks and a global energy crisis mounts, how does the land lie now before potential renewed strikes and how does it differ from February before any of this began?

Iran says seven oil tankers have caught fire or sustained damage in and around the Strait of Hormuz as its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warns that renewed US attacks could trigger a wider response and the world [braces for the possibility of renewed hostilities](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/22/iran-reveals-offensive-doctrine-us-issues-alert-is-war-imminent).

Although analysts consider a US attack before the November 3 midterm elections unlikely, sabre-rattling on both sides has raised fears that escalating rhetoric could give way to renewed attacks with control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian nuclear facilities at the heart of the conflict.

@Zil @Lucval No one has accurate understanding of the Iran’s changes and their motives. What people write in these articles are excerpts from the old Orientalist dusty echo-chambers of some 100 years ago.

What Iran eyes do not lay in the West but in the East, South America and Africa.

They see West as a bankrupt infested crumbling Has-Been of no interest to them either for trade or tech.

Their military tech is now beyond anything West has and will flourish in leaps and bounds for decades to come.

Ireland needs to look Eastward and stop acting as White Americans.
