Middle East: Intense Fighting and Geopolitical Tensions Continue

The conflict in the Middle East continues for the 12th day, with the US and Israel engaged in a confrontation with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. The area is a critical point for global oil trade.

Three cargo ships were hit in the Strait of Hormuz, with crews safely evacuated. According to reports, one of the ships belongs to a Greek shipping company. It has not been clarified who is responsible for the attack.

Iran has called ships of the US, Israel, or their allies transiting the Strait of Hormuz legitimate targets. The US responded to threats of mine-laying, announcing that they hit 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels.

Meanwhile, Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon continue. Iran has retaliated against Israel and other countries in the region. The Revolutionary Guards announced they targeted American bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
