## Resource

Iran claims it struck a U.S. military vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing it of entering a restricted zone—just days after U.S. strikes on Iranian oil tankers. Tensions have surged again after a month of relative calm, reigniting a broader conflict that began earlier this year amid stalled negotiations. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed four and wounded over twenty, including women and children, while destroying an already vacant hospital—near a region still simmering with clashes between Israel and Hezbollah, despite a two-month ceasefire. Both sides are escalating pressure militarily and economically as diplomacy stalls. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
