Iran launched missiles at Israel after Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, with the U.S. shooting down two Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz. The 100-day-old conflict is pushing millions into food insecurity and disrupting global oil markets.
Iran launched missiles at Israel after Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut, prompting the U.S. to shoot down two Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz. The exchange marks the first direct escalation in what was supposed to be a fragile 100-day-old ceasefire. The cycle appears to be tightening: each side responds to the other's moves faster, with less room for de-escalation between cycles.
The humanitarian cost is accelerating. Millions of people in the region are already pushed into food insecurity from 100 days of fighting. Global oil markets are feeling the pressure too, as shipping routes near the Strait of Hormuz remain vulnerable. The pattern here is familiar but worsening: temporary truces that hold for weeks before collapsing into new rounds of strikes, each round slightly hotter than the last.
