HERE WE GO: Iran just responded back…𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲!

The United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury, striking Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) command centers and nuclear sites across Tehran and Isfahan. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the offensive as necessary to neutralize existential threats. Iran retaliated with ballistic missile and drone salvos against Israel and U.S. bases like Al Udeid, signaling a volatile pivot toward regime-change rhetoric and severe regional escalation.

Concurrently, the IRGC Navy effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for 20% of global crude oil. Industry trackers like Kpler report vessel rerouting, fueling fears that Brent crude could exceed $150 per barrel. As the U.S. Fifth Fleet prepares for naval confrontation, Oxford Economics warns of a global recession driven by surging energy costs. The world faces an unprecedented crisis as maritime trade remains paralyzed by the conflict.
