The US military has intensified its operations against Iran, completing its 11th consecutive night of strikes on key targets across the country. The attacks have included bombing aircraft hangars and drone storage facilities.
Iranian officials, including foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, detailed their strategies for evading detection during the early days of the war. After surviving an initial airstrike that targeted Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Araghchi emphasized the need to remain mobile in Tehran.
In response to increased US pressure, Yemen’s Houthi militia has announced a naval blockade on Saudi Arabian ports. This move could severely disrupt Saudi oil exports and exacerbate the ongoing crisis. Notably, some oil tankers that had recently loaded crude from Saudi Arabia for China and India made U-turns after receiving warnings from the Houthis.
The conflict continues to impact regional stability and global oil markets. Brent crude prices have risen to their highest levels since June 2022, indicating increased market volatility due to geopolitical tensions.
