[Analysts: U.S.-Iran War of Words Escalates, Hormuz Strait Standoff Difficult to Resolve] BlockBeats News, August 16 — On August 15, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bagheri stated that the current situation in the Hormuz Strait is the direct result of "illegal actions" by the United States and Israel. Recently, the U.S. and Iran have engaged in intense confrontations over the Hormuz Strait issue, with both sides frequently making statements and refusing to back down. In response, analysts have pointed out that the ongoing standoff between the two sides is marked by deep divisions that are difficult to reconcile, and the situation may fall into a cycle, making it unlikely for the Hormuz Strait to achieve full navigation in the short term. Analysts believe that the U.S. and Iran are unlikely to make significant concessions on this issue in the near future. Unless the U.S. decides to launch a new round of large-scale military strikes against Iran, the stalemate in the ongoing power struggle is unlikely to change significantly, and Trump's vision of "defeating Iran" and "claiming the Hormuz Strait as U.S. territory" will remain mere rhetoric.
