## Resource

Tensions in the Middle East hit a boiling point as Iran announces the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz, deploying mines in the Omani shipping lane. In response, US forces launch a new round of strikes from Gulf bases, prompting Iran to activate its air defenses. The recent US-Iran agreement has collapsed over disputes regarding Lebanon and frozen assets. Meanwhile, regional conflicts escalate with devastating military operations in southern Lebanon and the West Bank. With US oil reserves dropping drastically since the conflict began, the region braces for potential all-out war. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
