During the current ceasefire, the United States and Iran are taking time to review their strategies and get ready in case the conflict starts again. A military and diplomatic analyst said that even though both countries are still talking and trying to find a solution, they are also preparing for war if those talks do not succeed. The US has sent more advanced missiles to the region, but its overall military approach is not expected to change much. Sending ground troops seems unlikely now because the opportunity for that has reduced. Iran, on the other hand, is focusing on its control over the Strait of Hormuz, an important route for global oil shipments. However, there are signs that other countries may join together to keep this route open and support shipping. The analyst believes Iran may avoid attacking ships if more countries get involved, as tensions continue but efforts for peace are still ongoing.
