Iran is mobilizing its proxy forces to disrupt oil exports from the Middle East, aiming to drive up gasoline prices in the US ahead of the midterm elections. The strategy, coordinated with groups supported by Tehran, also seeks to reduce revenue for Washington's Arab allies. Analysts note that while previously these forces were used for deterrence and expulsion of US influence, they are now increasingly employed to destabilize the region. Iran believes that economic pressure can make neighboring countries more accommodating regarding control of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
