Ongoing US-Iran military exchanges since February 2026 have centered on strikes targeting nuclear sites, leadership, and Strait of Hormuz threats, with a June memorandum of understanding briefly pausing large-scale fighting before collapsing amid renewed tit-for-tat actions in July through early September. US Central Command has conducted limited, precise operations against IRGC maritime and missile capabilities in response to alleged Iranian attacks on shipping, while Iran has fired missiles and drones at regional US positions. The Trump administration has combined these steps with expanded sanctions and diplomatic channels through Oman and others, without seeking congressional authorization for broader hostilities. Congress has considered War Powers measures, and November midterms could influence policy continuity. These patterns of calibrated engagement and economic pressure, rather than escalation to formal declaration, shape trader assessments of near-term outcomes.
