Next War: Iran
The sixth game in the Next War series depicts a conflict centered on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran mines the strait and attempts to halt global oil traffic, while the United States and potential allies conduct operations to reopen it. The Allied player takes the attacking role, managing extended logistics, limited regional support, and Iran’s anti-access and area-denial capabilities. The opposing player defends Iranian territory against the intervention.
