## Resource

U.S. military intercepts six to seven Iranian ballistic missiles headed for Kuwait and Bahrain, escalating regional tensions just days after U.S. strikes on Iranian drones and radar sites. Iran’s recent drone attacks on the Strait of Hormuz and a deadly strike on Kuwait’s airport have triggered retaliatory U.S. actions, while stalled talks over reopening the vital shipping lane keep oil prices soaring. Meanwhile, Israel strikes southern Lebanon after Hezbollah rejects a ceasefire, revealing how fragile peace remains across the Middle East — even as the U.S. recently granted visas to Iran’s World Cup team.
