The United States and Iran are escalating military clashes around the Strait of Hormuz. The United States has carried out airstrikes on Iran for eight consecutive days following casualties from Iranian missile attacks. In retaliation, Iran launched a suicide drone attack on a US military base in Kuwait, and an air raid warning was issued in Bahrain. Moreover, pro-American Kurdish armed forces within Iraq have also suffered damage from Iranian drone attacks amid the standoff between the United States and Iran. This incident highlights the deepening conflict between the United States' goal of regime change in Iran and Iran's hardline stance.
