Iran has launched a series of new missile systems—including an electro‑optical missile, an anti‑ship missile tested over a US Navy vessel, and a ballistic missile aimed at US warships—signaling an escalation in the Tehran‑US naval standoff. The moves come amid rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments.

Analysts note the combined testing and deployment suggest Tehran is shifting to a more assertive posture, potentially complicating diplomatic efforts. Monitoring of US fleet movements and further missile demonstrations will be key indicators of the next phase.
