The US and Iran have intensified tit-for-tat military strikes in recent days, remaining locked between ceasefire and all-out war as the White House struggles to end the six-month conflict.

“Very clearly militarily, we are stalled,” Republican Representative Pat Harrigan of North Carolina, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, said in an interview on Wednesday. “There’s no question about that.”

The latest back and forth has seen Iran hit merchant vessels, spurring the US to strike Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites that were used for targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz. That led to Iran firing missiles and drones on US bases in the region, including in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain.
