US military escalates Iran strikes
The American forces continued conducting airstrikes against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to weaken its ability to attack commercial ships. The ninth consecutive night of attacks targeted command centers, air defenses, naval capabilities, missile launch sites, and drone facilities, resulting in the death of a third American soldier since the escalation began five months ago. The strikes led to a rise in oil prices by up to 3%, with Brent crude contracts reaching approximately $90.7 per barrel and WTI reaching $84.6. Iran responded with counterattacks that killed 50 Iranians and injured more than 500. Meanwhile, the region remains tense, with ongoing military escalation and heightened tensions, accompanied by warnings of the potential to escalate into a full-scale war.
