On Thursday, the United States and Iran launched a second day of heavy strikes against each other, effectively ending a two-month ceasefire.
The U.S. targeted Iranian military infrastructure and radar sites after several drones were launched toward American assets. Iran retaliated by firing missiles and drones at U.S. airbases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, claiming to have destroyed several hangars. Tehran also declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely closed" to all shipping, a move that immediately caused global oil prices to jump.
World leaders are now monitoring the region to see if these tit-for-tat attacks escalate into an all-out war.
