On Friday, U.S. missiles bombarded Iranian targets, intensifying the already volatile situation between the two nations. President Donald Trump has vowed severe military retaliation against Iran and its Houthi allies in Yemen, even as he leaves the door open for diplomatic negotiations.

Iran's response was swift, targeting American bases in neighboring Arab countries and issuing warnings regarding potential strikes on non-military sites used by U.S. personnel. The situation threatens to escalate further, with potential expansions of U.S. targets to include Iranian energy plants and infrastructure.

Amidst this tension, the global economy faces upheaval, with oil prices fluctuating due to disruptions in key shipping routes. Diplomatic efforts, led by Pakistan and China, are underway to resume talks, but the path to peace remains uncertain.
