## Resource

Tensions in the Persian Gulf are escalating as the U.S. Navy expands operations near Oman in the Strait of Hormuz, sending a clear message to Iran that the vital oil chokepoint remains open for global trade. Iran’s push to enforce transit fees and launch drone attacks — including one targeting Bahrain, a U.S. ally — has sparked a dangerous cycle of retaliation. With Gulf ministers demanding an end to Iranian aggression and a tanker reportedly attacked in the strait, the region teeters on the brink of further conflict as major powers brace for a volatile standoff.
