The United States and Iran have engaged in direct military confrontation in 2026, with American forces conducting strikes on Iranian targets in May following incidents in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict involves broader regional tensions with Israel, control of critical shipping lanes, and Iran's nuclear program—issues that have shaped U.S.-Iran relations since Iran's 1979 revolution. Military escalation carries risks of wider regional war and global economic disruption, making decisions about further strikes consequential for American foreign policy and Middle Eastern stability.
