US military officials revealed that the war could continue for several more weeks, while Iran stated that Hargh Island is a red line.

CoinFeed reported on March 14th that, according to Jinshi News, US military officials revealed the war could continue for several more weeks. Furthermore, Iran has warned Gulf states that the attack on Harg Island is a red line, potentially triggering a wave of attacks on the energy infrastructure of Iran's Arab neighbors. This is why Friday's US attack on Harg Island, while possibly impacting Iran's oil export capabilities, could also lead to further escalation of the conflict. Gulf states have recently attempted to lobby Washington against attacks on Harg Island and energy facilities within Iran. In response, Washington has told Gulf diplomats that it will avoid attacking Iranian energy facilities and will pressure Israel to refrain from such actions.
