The war in the Middle East is entering a new phase of escalation, with cross-border attacks between the United States, Israel and Iran expanding the conflict beyond its initial boundaries. In recent days, strikes have hit Iranian territory, while missiles and drones have targeted U.S. positions and Iran-backed groups have stepped up activity in fronts such as Yemen and Lebanon.

Tensions are also spilling into the economic sphere, with threats to the Strait of Hormuz, an artery for global oil shipments, driving volatility in energy markets. Diplomatic efforts to contain the crisis are ongoing, but so far have shown little progress amid an increasingly volatile and unpredictable landscape.
