Iran's recent attacks in the Strait of Hormuz have underscored its capacity to disrupt maritime shipping and energy markets, while also drawing the attention of neighboring Gulf states.

However, DW points to uncertainty about the extent of Iran's influence and the potential consequences of its aggressive tactics.
