This resumption of tit-for-tat violence, which also saw Iranian retaliation against US allies in Jordan, Kuwait, and potentially Egypt, has stalled mediation efforts and raised concerns of a wider regional conflict.

Why limited war with the US may suit Iran better than peace

Iran's recent missile strike on a US base in Jordan, ending a fragile pause in direct conflict, may serve Tehran's strategic interests by maintaining leverage through controlled confrontation. Analysts suggest a limited war allows Iran to disrupt global shipping and reshape diplomatic discussions on maritime rules, while potentially suppressing domestic opposition, rather than accepting continued economic isolation under a ceasefire.
