Tensions between the US and Iran continue to escalate. President Donald Trump is trying to extract the US from a conflict that began nearly six months ago. He has made statements that Iran is seeking an agreement, while also threatening to resume military attacks.

Iran's hardline stance is driving its strategy to counter Washington. A Iranian official mentioned a strategy that emphasizes both offensive and defensive actions to neutralize enemy threats. This comes as the Memorando de Entendimiento, an agreement aimed at ending the war, is expiring.
