## Resource

Tensions between the US and Iran spiral as both sides strike critical infrastructure—US bombs hit Iranian bridges, killing at least seven, while Iran retaliates by attacking Kuwait’s power and desalination plants. The conflict now includes naval confrontations, with US Marines boarding a tanker near the Strait of Hormuz and another vessel seized off Yemen, threatening Red Sea oil flows. Global oil prices surge three percent as markets brace for further instability. Iran also claims strikes on a US radar in Oman and explosions in Qatar, though no US casualties confirmed. With escalation accelerating, the world watches nervously for the next move—retaliation or de-escalation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
