Iran and Israel Clash Amid U.S. Strikes: Tensions Escalate
Iran and Israel exchanged missile strikes following a U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, while President Trump suggested regime change in Tehran. The global community called for restraint, amid fears of oil price surges if Iran attempts to close the Strait of Hormuz. International diplomacy efforts are ongoing.
Iran and Israel continued their fierce exchanges on Monday, launching air and missile strikes as global eyes turned toward Tehran's potential retaliation for the recent U.S. attack on its nuclear sites.
As tension mounts, President Donald Trump raised the possibility of regime change in Iran following the U.S.'s significant military action—the largest since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. While tensions flare, international bodies like the U.N. call for a return to diplomatic talks.
With oil prices climbing and the possibility of further conflict looming, the global economy is on edge. Iran's parliament has contemplated closing the Strait of Hormuz, a move that could see oil prices spike even further and create more economic turbulence worldwide.
