## Resource

The fragile U.S.-Iran peace deal is collapsing fast—just weeks after a shaky truce, tit-for-tat strikes have reignited war fears. Iran’s attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, followed by strikes on U.S. allies like Kuwait and Bahrain, have escalated tensions. Triggered by U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader—and chants for revenge at his funeral—the conflict spiraled further when Iran hit three more vessels. The U.S. retaliated with strikes on Iranian infrastructure, re-imposed oil sanctions, and expanded attacks northward, including on bridges and power stations. Iran claims 46 dead and 400 wounded, and now targets civilian desalination plants in Kuwait—crossing a dangerous new line. The Middle East and global economy hang in the balance.
