Iran has declared that it is prepared for a prolonged conflict that could severely damage the global economy, as tensions escalate in the Middle East. Iranian military officials warned that the United States and its allies should be ready for a long “war of attrition” that could destabilize global markets and economic systems.
The warning came after Iranian forces reportedly targeted commercial ships in the Gulf, accusing them of ignoring military warnings while passing through strategic waters near the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route. About 20% of the world’s oil supply normally passes through this narrow waterway, making it one of the most critical chokepoints in global trade.
