## Resource

Houthi rebels strike two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, escalating regional tensions as the U.S. conducts its 12th night of strikes against Iran to protect vital shipping lanes. The conflict over the Strait of Hormuz threatens global trade, with no diplomatic breakthrough in sight. President Trump warns of devastating retaliation against Iranian civilian infrastructure, while Iran retaliates by targeting energy and water facilities in neighboring countries — Jordan and Kuwait report intercepting missiles and drones. Despite mediation efforts by Pakistan, de-escalation looks increasingly unlikely as both sides dig in over control of the critical chokepoint.
