## Resource

U.S. strikes on Iran ignite a global crisis as Tehran retaliates with attacks on U.S. allies, shattering a fragile peace deal meant to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — the world’s lifeline for oil — and risking full-scale war. With oil prices surging and regional tensions flaring, the U.S. reinstates a historic blockade and threatens shipping fees, while Iran strikes back, targeting vessels linked to the UAE and launching missiles at Bahrain and Jordan. Amid chaos, a separate Lebanon-Israel peace effort hangs in the balance, as the world watches a potential flashpoint spiral into catastrophe.
