US and Iran exchange fresh strikes across Gulf

The conflict between the United States and Iran intensified once again as both sides carried out fresh military operations across the Middle East, despite earlier efforts to ease tensions.

The U.S. government will attempt to redirect Iranian assets to Gulf states for rebuilding and repairs of damage caused by Iran, including future destruction expected to be inflicted by Tehran, a source familiar with the matter said on Saturday.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also directed a team to assess costs for damage already inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran.

Trump Says Would Like to Meet Iran Leader Khamenei

US President Donald Trump has expressed willingness to meet with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran show little progress. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview that Trump is open to meeting anybody, including Iran's supreme leader. "I'm pretty confident in saying that if the Ayatollah said tomorrow he wanted to meet with President Trump, the president would meet him," Rubio told Bloomberg.

Hostilities Flare in Iran War as Oil Jumps with Talks at Stalemate

Gulf hostilities flared anew on Wednesday, with the US military saying Iranian missile attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait and other regional targets were either thwarted or failed, as diplomacy between Washington and Tehran showed little progress.

According to Iranian state media, the country's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) attacked the US […]

US Says It Struck Iranian Military Sites, Tehran Responds With Air Base Attack

The United States has confirmed it carried out strikes on Iranian military sites over the weekend, targeting radar and drone command facilities on Goruk and Qeshm Island in southern Iran, prompting Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to launch a retaliatory missile attack on a US-linked air base in the region. US Central Command (Centcom) said fighter jets struck the Iranian military targets following Iran's shootdown of an American surveillance drone, describing the operation as an act of "self-defense" to protect American forces. The strikes targeted radar installations and drone command sites in the strategic Strait of Hormuz area. The IRGC announced it targeted a US air base in the region early Thursday morning, aiming at "the source" of the prior US attacks on Iran, according to state broadcaster IRIB. Kuwait reported missile and drone attacks forcing air defenses into […]

Five ways the Strait of Hormuz affects global oil supply

The potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz poses a major threat to global oil supply, given its role as one of the world’s most critical energy transit routes. The narrow channel connects the Persian Gulf to international markets and serves as a gateway for crude exports from key Middle East producers. Here are five ways the Strait of Hormuz affects global oil supply: Massive disruption to global oil flowAround 20 per cent of the world’s daily oil supply, estimated at roughly 20 million barrels, passes through the strait. A closure would immediately halt a significant portion of exports from major producers such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, creating a sudden supply shock in global markets. Limited alternative routesSome countries have pipelines that bypass the strait, but these alternatives cannot fully replace the volume transported […]
