Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated sharply after Iran rejected U.S. negotiation conditions, raising fears of conflict in the Middle East. The U.S. military presence in the Strait of Hormuz, growing Iran–U.S.–Israel hostility, and shifting regional alliances—including signals of support for Iran from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey—highlight a broader global power struggle. Iran has made clear it will not accept negotiations under pressure, while emphasizing preparedness for prolonged conflict and leadership continuity. Although both sides express conditional openness to dialogue, mistrust remains high, placing the world at a critical and uncertain moment between war and diplomacy.
