Bottom lines up front WASHINGTON—After absorbing a forty-day intensive bombing campaign by the United States and Israel from the end of February through April, Iran responded the only way it could have responded to ensure the survival of its regime: by avoiding a direct confrontation and adopting an asymmetric approach. Iran expanded and extended the conflict by attacking energy facilities in the Gulf and blocking the Strait of Hormuz. It did this in an attempt to impose political and economic costs on the US and Israel to force them to stop fighting and lower their demands. Tehran appears to believe…
