Iran launched drone strikes on US military bases in the Middle East after the US attacked the country for 13 straight nights. Explosions were reported in several areas of Iran, resulting in four deaths, while siren alarms and flight disruptions were reported in neighboring countries like Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq. Tensions have escalated further after US President Donald Trump announced plans to use frozen Iranian assets to pay for war damages and shipping losses in the Strait of Hormuz—a move Iran’s Foreign Minister called dangerous and illegal. With a previous ceasefire broken, rising threats in the Red Sea, and potential new US military strikes looming, global oil prices have spiked above $100 a barrel.
