## Resource

The U.S. has launched a new wave of strikes against Iran, escalating tensions after reimposing a naval blockade on Iranian ports — all in response to Iran’s threats to choke off global energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Targeting military sites near the strait and along Iran’s coast, these strikes aim to cripple Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping. In retaliation, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard hit U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, while warning of further closures of critical shipping lanes — signaling a potential regional war. The conflict, sparked by Iran’s attacks on seven merchant vessels and U.S./Israeli strikes in February, has already rattled global energy markets and inflation fears. A fragile ceasefire from last month has collapsed, leaving the world bracing for more chaos as both sides dig in.
