US and Iran Engage in Military Escalation and Maritime Conflict
Military strikes and shipping attacks destabilize global energy.
Event Overview
The U.S. and Iran have entered a cycle of retaliatory strikes, including U.S. attacks on Iranian air defenses and boats and Iranian missile strikes on U.S. bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Tensions have peaked with attacks on commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, leading President Trump to threaten Iranian infrastructure and announce plans to assert control over the strait. This escalation follows the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28 and the failure of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two nations.
