Iran-U.S. Escalation Rocks Middle East | Business and Finance News

Iran escalates regional tensions by claiming strikes on U.S. military targets in Syria and Bahrain, as the U.S. responds with its sixth straight night of retaliatory attacks — signaling the collapse of a fragile truce. Centcom confirms hits on Iranian air defenses and naval assets, while Iran alleges U.S. strikes killed eight and wounded twenty, including in civilian areas — unverified. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also claim to have hit a U.S. command center in Syria, despite U.S. forces having withdrawn months ago. Syria insists neutrality, while Gulf allies like Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Qatar intercept Iranian drones and missiles. President Trump praises the “good” progress of the war and warns of further strikes if Iran doesn’t return to talks. Markets react sharply, with oil prices surging over 11% this week — Brent and WTI at their strongest since late April.
