Escalada del conflicto entre EE.UU. e Irán podría desestabilizar la región

El enfrentamiento entre Estados Unidos e Irán ha escalado rápidamente, con amenazas de guerra total tras ataques recientes en el estrecho de Ormuz. El presidente Trump ha ampliado los objetivos militares de EE.UU. a infraestructura crítica en Irán, mientras que Irán ha aumentado sus ataques a siete países vecinos, incluyendo Kuwait y Jordania. La situación se ha vuelto más peligrosa tras la muerte de soldados estadounidenses en Jordania, lo que podría llevar a una mayor intervención de Israel. Ambos países han dejado de lado un acuerdo de entendimiento, lo que complica aún más la posibilidad de mediación. La economía iraní sigue deteriorándose, pero el régimen parece decidido a resistir la presión estadounidense, lo que podría tener repercusiones globales significativas.
