Tensions in the Middle East escalated further as Iran launched its most intense strikes of the war while attacks on commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz raised fears of a wider global crisis. The key shipping lane, which carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply, became a major flashpoint after multiple vessels were hit and U.S. forces reported destroying Iranian naval assets suspected of laying mines. Missile exchanges between Iran and Israel continued, with strikes reported in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Lebanon, and across Iran as the conflict entered its 12th day. Rising casualties and threats to global energy supplies caused oil prices to surge before stabilizing amid expectations of diplomatic efforts and possible emergency oil reserve releases.
