Oil Shock and War Fears: The Growing U.S.–Iran–Israel Conflict Explained

Описание: The Middle East faces a dramatic escalation after the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei triggered major military strikes by the United States and Israel. President Donald Trump has described the operation as a brief “excursion,” claiming that Iranian military capabilities have been largely destroyed.

However, Iran has launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. bases and regional allies, raising fears of a wider war. As Tehran appoints Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader, global markets are reacting with surging oil prices and sharp stock market volatility.

With violence spreading toward Lebanon and the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, international leaders warn the crisis could spiral into a broader regional disaster.
