Proponents of the current U.S. military strategy argue that the persistent airstrikes against Iranian command centers, air defenses, and coastal surveillance sites are a necessary response to protect global trade and national security. By targeting the infrastructure that enables Iran to threaten the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. aims to restore freedom of navigation and prevent the total collapse of energy supply chains. Supporters emphasize that failing to act would embolden regional actors to further disrupt international waters, potentially leading to even greater economic instability.
