## Resource

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalate as Washington demands a public guarantee that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open for shipping, following recent tanker attacks and retaliatory strikes. Despite claims of productive talks, both sides remain at odds—with Iran warning of consequences for broken promises and U.S. officials bracing for potential strikes amid reports of a possible assassination plot against President Trump. The critical waterway, vital for global oil flow, sees dwindling traffic, fueling fears of a looming energy crisis and economic downturn.
