Strait of Hormuz
Direct U.S.-Iran military confrontation undermining regional stability; Iran asserting control over critical maritime chokepoint and demonstrating drone/missile capabilities; Gulf allies (Kuwait, Bahrain) caught between superpowers; potential for broader coalition fragmentation if escalation continues.
