## Resource

U.S. strikes hit Iran’s air defenses and radar sites, reigniting tensions over the Strait of Hormuz — a critical oil shipping chokepoint — as the 2026 Iran war escalates after a fragile ceasefire. Iran’s missile and drone attacks on U.S. bases and commercial vessels have prompted warnings from Israel’s PM and a renewed U.S. naval blockade. Officials call the strikes defensive, aimed at securing vital waterways, but rising oil prices and mutual threats are making diplomacy nearly impossible — with U.S. forces on high alert for any Iranian escalation.
