Analysts: The essence of the US-Iran conflict lies in the competition over the Strait of Hormuz.

Less than a month after the signing of the US-Iran understanding, the two sides have already engaged in multiple rounds of mutual attacks, with signs of escalating confrontation, prompting concerns from the outside world about the breakdown of negotiations and even the reignition of war. Analysts believe that the current military confrontation between the US and Iran is essentially a game around the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides trying to gain more leverage for future negotiations, but also having a realistic need to avoid a significant escalation of conflict. In the future, US-Iran interactions may continue to show a pattern of "fighting followed by talks, and using fighting to promote talks."
