TEHRAN – The main confrontation between Iran and the United States in this war has been, and continues to be, in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, and senior Iranian commanders now say the era when American aircraft carriers cruised these waters with impunity is over for good.
TEHRAN - The U.S.-Israeli war against Iran has exposed the limits of American military power and the dangers of an administration that appears to have mistaken technological superiority for the ability to dictate political outcomes, William H. McRaven, who served in the U.S. Navy, wrote in Foreign Affairs.
For decades, American aircraft carriers symbolized Washington’s military might and served as instruments for imposing its will on other nations. However, the 2026 aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran marked a turning point. Iranian anti-ship missiles targeted the American fleet, forcing it to retreat — a development that brings the end of the U.S. military presence in the region’s waters closer. As the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyid Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, wrote on September 28, 2026: “It will not be long before the Arabian Sea rids itself of them [the aggressor enemy] too.”
