Key Iranian partners like China, Pakistan, and Oman may also face diplomatic and economic challenges if the US decides to target them. The campaign could lead to heightened tensions in international relations, particularly with countries that maintain trade ties with Iran. Critics warn that the piecemeal approach may not yield the intended results and could complicate ongoing diplomatic efforts in the region.
