🌍 BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF STRAIT OF HORMUZ INTENSIFIES
Washington/Tehran: The United States has launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran as the conflict between Washington and Tehran escalates sharply across West Asia.
The latest U.S. attacks came after President Donald Trump announced that Washington was “reinstating” a blockade on Iran, with tensions increasingly centred on control of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has retaliated with missile and drone attacks targeting U.S. military interests in the region. Tehran claimed it targeted a U.S. air base in Jordan, while Jordan said it intercepted four missiles.
Both the United States and Iran are asserting their influence over the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most crucial energy shipping routes — raising fears of a wider regional confrontation and further disruption to global oil supplies.
⚠️ The escalating conflict has sent fresh shockwaves through global energy markets, with oil prices rising amid fears over the security of shipping through the strait.
🌍 West Asia remains on edge as U.S.-Iran hostilities enter a dangerous new phase.
