## Resource

Escalating tensions in the Middle East as US strikes on Iran trigger retaliatory attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait. With Donald Trump declaring the MOU "dead" and threatening further action, the Strait of Hormuz faces potential closure, risking a global oil crisis. Analysis suggests Iranian missiles may have damaged US naval assets, prompting aggressive rhetoric despite logistical withdrawals. Meanwhile, Hezbollah prepares for renewed conflict in Lebanon, and Russia intensifies strikes on Ukraine after Trump dismisses the war's impact on the US. The interview explores the collapse of diplomatic efforts, the unity of Iranian public opinion following leadership losses, and the dangerous trajectory toward broader regional war affecting global markets.
