Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US military forces and merchant ships in response to President Trump's plans to help vessels navigate the Strait of Hormuz. The NIAC warned of a potential escalation into a full-blown war, citing the risk of a Gulf of Tonkin-like incident. Iran is expected to preemptively strike to deter further US aggression.
