This article presents a perspective on the tensions that may reflect broader geopolitical analyses rather than specific partisan viewpoints.

The diplomatic deadlock between Tehran and Washington and the rise in threats have made the risk of a third war more serious; a conflict that could extend beyond military targets and involve the region's economic infrastructure and energy security. At the same time, the price of oil surpassing $117 per barrel is a warning sign of the Pandora's box being opened in this confrontation; a box that, with the intertwining of the crises in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb, could have uncontrollable consequences for global markets and the political equations of the region and the U.S. The question now is what goal Trump intends to achieve?
