## Resource

Tensions in the Gulf exploded as Iran launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. allies after American airstrikes hit Iranian military sites, claiming civilian casualties—including children—at a wedding. The U.S. insists its actions targeted radar and air defense systems in response to Iran’s attempts to mine the Strait of Hormuz and attack commercial ships. Iran fired missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan, drones at Kuwait, and reportedly targeted Bahraini civilians, all intercepted. Iraq and Israel also reported drone attacks from Iranian-backed groups. Oil prices surged amid chaos in the strait, where shipping casualties were reported. Mediators scramble to restart talks as both sides harden positions.
