## Resource

Iran claims it downed a U.S. drone in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions after the U.S. struck three Iranian oil tankers—a retaliation for Iran’s missile attack on Navy ships. The conflict, reignited in February and briefly paused in June, continues with both sides inflicting military and economic blows. The U.S. is waging a dual strategy: military strikes when the Strait is targeted and financial pressure targeting Iran’s banking networks. Iran, under new leadership hardened by years of sanctions, has adapted by deploying a “shadow fleet” to move oil and evade blockades. With nuclear talks stalled, the Strait of Hormuz—once just a shipping lane—is now a critical flashpoint, turning into a strategic battleground for global energy control.
