## Resource

Tensions flare again in the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. forces launch strikes after Iran claims to have shut it down—just as Trump pivots from a 20% toll for naval protection to offering trade deals with Gulf states. Iran retaliates with missile attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan and an aerial assault on Bahrain, which shot down four missiles. Analysts warn the standoff risks spiraling, while global energy markets and U.S. inflation fears grow. Public opinion in America is turning against the conflict, especially as elections loom. Meanwhile, the UN rejects any tolls on international shipping routes, and both sides continue trading blows in a high-stakes game for leverage—and peace.
