Rules Of Engagement

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have deep historical roots, dating back to the 1953 coup. The rise of Khomeini transformed relations, culminating in the storming of the American embassy. The brutal Iran-Iraq War and its aftermath further complicated dynamics, leading to U.S. military involvement, especially in the Gulf. Notably, the tragic incident involving the USS Vincennes underscores the dangers of miscommunication. Additionally, Iran's use of strategic proxies and the Stuxnet cyberattack reveal the evolving nature of conflict and international security challenges.
