## Resource

Iran strikes ten ships near the Strait of Hormuz in escalating retaliation after the U.S. sank five Iranian tankers — sparking the biggest naval clash since hostilities began six months ago. Oil prices surged as Brent crude breached $100 a barrel and diesel hit record highs in the U.S. Meanwhile, Iran launched ballistic missiles at a U.S. base in Jordan, breaking a fragile calm. The U.S. responded with footage of burning tankers, citing Iran’s recent missile attacks on American warships — and announced a new policy: retaliate against Iranian tankers threatening U.S. naval vessels. Tensions remain razor-thin as Iran expands its restricted zone and deploys advanced missile tech, while the U.S. warns Tehran will lose tankers every time it targets American ships.
