## Resource

Iran claims it intercepted a U.S. military drone boat in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing it of entering a restricted zone — a move that follows U.S. strikes on Iranian oil tankers, allegedly in retaliation for missile attacks on U.S. Navy ships. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon kill four and injure over twenty, including children, and destroy a vacant hospital — all amid a fragile ceasefire that’s been repeatedly broken. Tensions are surging across the Middle East as both sides escalate with military and economic strikes, signaling a dangerous return to open conflict.
