Iran and the US are on the brink of a new escalation in their long-running conflict, with both sides trading blows in the Strait of Hormuz.
The latest round of strikes by the US military has targeted Iranian military capabilities, including coastal defense systems and missile sites, in an effort to force open the strait and allow oil and gas shipments to resume. Iran has responded by threatening to shut off more regional energy exports and has also launched a series of attacks on US military targets in the region, including in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.
The war has already killed thousands of people and displaced millions, mainly in Iran and Lebanon, where conflict restarted between Israel and Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. The US has also claimed that it has been in touch with Iranian negotiators to tell them to make a deal, but it remains to be seen whether this will lead to a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The US has also said that it has disabled an oil tanker attempting to sail towards Iran's Kharg Island after it ignored multiple warnings, firing Hellfire missiles into the ship's smokestack. The US has also redirected two ships and disabled another, the military said. Iran's state broadcaster IRIB reported that the US attacks struck near a hospital in Ahvaz that houses a pediatric cancer center, forcing the temporary evacuation of the hospital.
Families have come out to the streets around the hospital to care for their children, IRIB said. The war has also had a significant impact on the global economy, with Brent crude oil reaching a one-month high of $84.95 a barrel on Wednesday. The US has said that it is committed to holding Iran accountable for its actions and has vowed to continue its military operations until the strait is open and oil and gas shipments can resume.
Iran has also vowed to continue its operations until the US withdraws its military presence from the region. The conflict is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, with both sides dug in and refusing to back down.
