American vessels are facing a dilemma as they will now have to navigate closer to Iran, within the range of anti-ship missiles or BEKs. Currently, US ships typically maintain a distance of 700-800 km from Iran to stay beyond the firing range.

In other news, President Trump's recent actions have led to a dispute with Spain. Initially, he announced a trade halt with the country for denying permission to use American planes to strike Iran. Subsequently, he declared that US aircraft would operate from their Spanish bases without regard for the ally's restrictions.
