The conflict between the United States and Iran has entered its fifth month, evolving through three distinct phases of military and strategic engagement. The initial phase, which began in late February, involved direct military confrontation and precision strikes targeting strategic assets and critical infrastructure. Following a temporary ceasefire, the second phase saw sporadic flare-ups and relative restraint, culminating in a memorandum of understanding in mid-June that failed to resolve core strategic disagreements.
The current third phase marks a re-escalation focused on maritime security and economic leverage around the Strait of Hormuz. In this stage, the focus has shifted from continuous battlefield engagement to strategic signalling and maritime threats. These developments pose significant risks to global energy markets, international trade, and supply chains, with the potential to increase global oil prices and impact economies worldwide, including India.
The ongoing confrontation highlights unresolved political differences and the growing importance of economic leverage in the conflict.
