Intense Airstrikes Intensify US-Iran-Israeli Conflict Amidst Economic Uncertainty

In a dramatic escalation of conflict, the United States and Israel carried out powerful airstrikes on Iran, with both Pentagon sources and local Iranians describing the bombardment as the most intense of the ongoing war.

The heightened military activity has spurred economic concerns, particularly after Iran's Revolutionary Guards declared they would block all oil shipments from the Gulf unless the attacks cease, further destabilizing the global economy.

President Trump, who described the war as "very complete," hinted at a potential resolution soon, quelling some market fears. However, tensions remain high as Iran resolutely refuses US demands to choose their new leadership, instead appointing the hardliner Mojtaba Khamenei as supreme leader.
