Persian Gulf states have warned US officials that Iranian missiles pose a serious threat to American interests in the region.

After the Israeli-American war against Iran, Tehran dismantled sabotage networks, bolstered missile production and adapted its military doctrine, emerging militarily stronger and resilient.

Iran’s strategic islands – Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunb, and Sirri – function as “unsinkable carriers” anchoring layered defenses, a role aptly demonstrated in the 2025 Shahid Mohammad Nazeri exercise, underscoring Iranian sovereignty and red‑line enforcement.
