US-Israel military conflict with Iran escalates

The United States and Israel have launched military strikes against Iran in an ongoing conflict referred to as 'Operation Epic Fury,' prompting Iranian retaliatory attacks on commercial shipping, regional infrastructure, and neighboring countries. The war has caused significant disruption to global oil supplies, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, and has triggered economic turmoil in financial markets worldwide. The conflict has expanded to involve Hezbollah, with strikes affecting multiple countries across the Middle East.
