## Resource

U.S. strikes on Iran have escalated, killing another American service member, prompting Iranian retaliation against U.S. allies in Kuwait and Bahrain — home to the Fifth Fleet. The fragile ceasefire is shattered, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has nearly halted, and both sides are now targeting civilian infrastructure. Global markets are reeling as oil prices surge past $86 a barrel. Tensions remain dangerously high, with ongoing hostilities threatening regional stability and global trade routes.
