"Direct threats by the US against Kharg Island and Iran's power grid signal intent to target critical energy infrastructure, raising risks to global oil markets and maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.""Consecutive strikes by US and Israel and Iranian retaliatory strikes on Gulf states indicate an active cycle of escalation with potential for spillover to neighboring countries.""Targeting civilian infrastructure increases likelihood of international condemnation, complicates de-escalation, and may justify broader Iranian countermeasures.""Involvement of multiple major-state actors (US, Israel, Iran) and Gulf states elevates the chance of miscalculation and rapid expansion of the conflict."
