Relations between the United States and Iran continue to be tense. Senior Iranian officials revealed that they are currently deploying a new strategy to attack ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz in an attempt to maintain high oil prices and influence the U.S. midterm elections.

According to Reuters, the two officials declined to disclose specific details of the new strategy, but one of them said that Iran began using different attack tactics about 10 days ago to target ships it determined to be violating relevant restrictions, which also led to an increase in the number of attacks against such ships.

Two officials said the strategy included changing the methods and frequency of attacks, with one goal being to influence the outcome of the U.S. election. Officials emphasized: "The purpose is to thwart the efforts of the United States and its allies to lower global oil prices." Iranian officials said that the decision to adopt this new strategy was issued by Iran's top leadership and that full coordination has been completed.

In a major change in Iranian tactics, a U.S. military official confirmed that after the United States destroyed most of Iran's radar capabilities, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) began using unarmed observers in small boats to identify potential targets, including U.S. Navy ships. Officials say Iran is unable to prevent an increase in oil exports through the strait as it is reluctant to risk its remaining fleet of fast vessels, especially after U.S. airstrikes destroyed its navy.
