In a marked escalation of regional hostilities, Iran struck a tanker near Qatar and Kuwait International Airport. Amidst this, Iran's bold actions have provoked Israel to launch retaliatory attacks on Lebanon, resulting in multiple casualties.
The U.S. administration, led by President Trump, grapples with efforts to broker peace while confronting Iran's dominance over the Strait of Hormuz. The geopolitical strife has surged gas prices and triggered stock market turbulence.
