Tension between Washington and Tehran continues to escalate. The focus is also on the Iranian island of Kharg, a small oil hub through which, according to available information, approximately 90 percent of Iranian oil exports pass. Its destruction or blockade could limit Iran's economic revenues for years.
At the same time, a question has been raised in the US regarding what impact a war with Iran would have on the readiness of the American military. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell faced criticism after a sharp reaction to a report about possible weakening of American military readiness. His social media post was subsequently challenged by users, reporters, and lawmakers.
Further developments will depend on whether Washington proceeds with direct retaliation and what target it chooses. A potential attack on oil infrastructure could have not only military but also economic consequences for Iran and the broader Middle East region. Novy Cas ↗
