Iran’s demand for exclusive control over the Strait of Hormuz — a global oil lifeline — clashes with U.S.-backed maritime plans near Oman, fueling regional tensions. While no casualties occurred in the strikes, Bahrain condemned the attacks as “deliberate,” and the broader conflict in Lebanon, where Hezbollah refuses to disarm, adds further instability. The U.S. says its strikes targeted Iranian surveillance and missile sites, and President Trump warns of severe consequences if Iran doesn’t comply — as the world watches a fragile peace unravel.
