Last update: 10 hours agoUS-Iran Escalation: The ceasefire is effectively dead as the US expands strikes on Iran, hitting bridges and collapsing a tower at Chabahar port while Iran retaliates with missiles and drones against US-allied states including Qatar and Kuwait, where a power and desalination plant was damaged. Shipping & Energy Risk: Hormuz traffic has plunged to just a few transits per day, and oil prices are up on fears of wider supply disruption, with analysts warning the conflict could keep global markets jittery even if flows recover. Iran’s Economic Strain: Reuters reports Iranians are back in deep uncertainty, with prices for basics nearly doubling and people unable to plan amid constant “war then peace” swings. Diplomacy Under Fire: Iran has accused US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner of exploiting talks for financial gain, while JD Vance calls the claims “completely bogus.” Business & Markets Spillover: The renewed crisis is also feeding broader risk-off moves, dragging tech stocks and pushing crypto lower, while IMF warns depleted oil buffers leave the world more exposed to shocks. Regional Business Angle: India is told to keep sailors off Hormuz, and Chabahar’s damage raises fresh questions for trade routes tied to Afghanistan.
