## Resource

Iran claims it downed a U.S. drone near the Strait of Hormuz, reigniting tensions after months of relative calm and following a deadly U.S. strike. With negotiations collapsed since June, Washington is doubling down—militarily targeting the Strait and financially crippling Iran’s oil trade through sanctions and a shadow fleet. Tehran, resilient under years of economic pressure, now wields control of this global chokepoint as its main bargaining chip, while Western diplomats prepare to escalate at the U.N. Security Council over Iran’s nuclear defiance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
