Background: Rising Tensions Between the U.S. and Iran
The Road to Conflict
The renewed tensions between the United States and Iran have been building for years, rooted in geopolitical rivalries, nuclear concerns, and regional influence struggles. Under the leadership of Donald Trump, U.S. policy toward Iran has taken a more aggressive stance, including:
- Economic sanctions targeting Iran’s economy
- Military deployments in the Middle East
- Strategic alliances with regional adversaries of Iran
These actions have intensified fears of a full-scale war, prompting widespread debate among policymakers, analysts, and the public.
